"I need to ask him why he did this." - Survivor of Sexual Assault
"I want to know I'll be safe when he gets out." - Rape Survivor
"I never saw him. I need to put a face to my fear." - Rape Survivor
"I have wanted to talk to him for years. I keep feeling like I'm getting on with my life and what happened keeps coming up." - Rape Survivor
