One of my friends was just sexually assaulted.

10. She is very involved in our community theater.

She went ahead with her stage part even though she was bruised.

Her job never allows just one person at a time to be at work. She arrived a few minutes before her colleague and opened the store anyway. (Her colleague may have been late for work). She thought the attacker was there to rob her. The store has been robbed in the past, and they never publicize it, to prevent copycats.

The store was very decent and protective of her. So were her coworkers. I thought she should have sued the carnival for not vetting their workers more carefully. She has moved on. We live in a small community. Her support here has been heartening.
