A survivor’s guide to outing your rapist online
Before I begin, I must say that it is NEVER a survivor’s responsibility to alert the public to a dangerous person who lurks among them. However – it is an option that a survivor may enact at any point along his or her recovery. That said let’s dive in!

This time it’s personal
More than four years ago, Carl Martinek owed me the courtesy of a phone call. I had filed a report with Valley City Police regarding a case of sexual assault on June 4, 2017 and as the standing Barnes County States Attorney, it fell to him to prosecute or dismiss the case.

There is darkness in the valley
Valley City is a small community nestled in the heart of the Sheyenne River Valley. Being surrounded by beautiful landscapes, one would assume the community is just as beautiful too. However, whatever potential for beauty it might have once held, Valley City has been corrupted by the darkest of evils – pedophilia, rape, molestation, and murder.

A little Scottish history
I have been working on a piece of historical fiction and doing some research on Scottish history. I’ve learned a great deal and while my fiction is nowhere near ready to be shared, I would like to share with you a bit of what I have learned so far.

Dear former friend
January 11, 2022
Dear James,
On the night you sent me out of your home the summer of 2017, I almost died. Richard took me back to his apartment where he beat and strangled me within an inch of my life. He wanted to teach me a “lesson” I would “never forget” and he certainly did. To this day, I have nerve damage to the right side of my body. (Richard is left-handed.) After that, I did not dare to try leaving Richard again. Thank heavens that he eventually left me, but unfortunately not before he caused permanent nerve and brain damage.

Dear Jacob
January 9, 2022
I’m sorry, but I don’t think I can tell you this in person as I had planned. When you held me last night as tears fell from my eyes, something was unlocked inside of me that I was only able to recognize later. The Pandora’s box that you unlocked with your embrace is now open and the truth that I love you is now out in the world.
