P.S.- One thing I've never understood is how these girls/women do not have anyone to go to. If my sister had trouble with any man she works with, she would send for me and I would take care of it before it went to the point of rape.
The woman's narrative doesn't pass the smell test.
A woman who knew that a rapist had the key to her apartment, would immediately get her landlord to change the lock, and/or purchase a simple internal lock.
She didn't.
Better yet, why didn't she call the police and say she was raped and that he has a key to her apartment?
.I must admit, I always have a problem with these types of stories for this reason. Even the first time, it seems like so often the person didn't
fight as hard as they could. I would run away, or kick, punch, scratch, scream, and do whatever I could to ward off a rape. He'd have to beat me black & blue. And I especially never understand the
repeated cases. If someone did this to me once, I would do as the posts above suggest: seek help from friends, ask landlord to change locks, or if my landlord was too cheap to do it, I'd change the locks myself. If I didn't have the money for the locks, I'd find someone to loan me the money. I'd place a piece of heavy furniture in front of the door if I had to. I'd have some pepper spray handy, and if he tried again, spray him & call the police. ANYTHING to prevent it happening again. Maybe the woman in this story did some of this, but it doesn't sound like it from some of the comments here, and in other alleged cases of priest-abuse, it seems like the victim is always available for further abuse. I don't understand it.
