“I didn’t have money for a cab and I couldn’t find anyone to give me a lift. I called a friend to see If he could give me a lift home. Indeed, he came and picked me up. He fetched me, but I noticed as we drove off that he took a route that was not headed to where I lived. When I asked him about it, he said he wanted to go home,” she wrote.
The 52-year-old assumed he was going to check up on his pregnant wife.
“He came back to invite me in and when I entered, I noticed that it was quiet and dimly lit. I asked him where his wife was, and he told me she had gone home to her family.”
“A violation of my physical form and a violation of my spirit; where I would experience humiliation in its highest form.” She says he knew of all her hardships and work challenges. “After raping me, the monster I saw before still had to take me home,” she says.
The actress confronted him and he apologised, but the police didn’t arrest him despite following up on the case.
