He came over while she was at work and gave me an animal tranquilizer. I was very aware of what he was doing to me all through the rape, yet I was paralyzed. I could not move. He raped me and left. I could have died, had he accidentally overdosed me. As animal tranquilizers used as rape drugs were unheard of then, no one belived me. Instead I was accused of being a willing partner. The officer, Jeff Flamonde, was 28 at the time. Later, when his methods and other's like him were exposed, it was too late for me to file charges, as the statute of limitations had run out. I wish the law would change. angela At the age of 15 ( I am now 50), I was babysitting for a woman who was dating a police officer.

They offered to drive me to the towing company and drove me down by the water. They parked the car and started taking my clothes off. I started screaming but they held me down. I told them that is they raped me they would have to kill me because I would tell everyone. They punched me over and over and kicked me out of their car. I had no idea where I was. I escaped the rape but am terrified of leaving my house. I trust nobody and want to kill myself.

The fact that this is now going to trial: Good. The one note that gives Maia hope: Also good." But since no one else has commented, I thought I'd post to say that. I suppose that it's inevitable that the large majority of posts that get lots of comments are ones that spark controversy, and that people tend not to want to make "yeah, me too" comments, but sometimes "yeah, me too" comments are good to make.
