She may not think it at the moment, but she has shown immense strength and should be proud of herself for that.
It shouldn’t have to happen to anyone but when it does, I hope people realize that calling the police or reporting online can help.
I truly hope Vernon being behind bars will give her the confidence to rebuild her life."He was sentenced to a 28-month jail term for his offences.
