    “Many girls were completely terrified and had tremendous anxiety attacks because they were suffering this in silence,” she told Reuters at the time. “They felt bad and were afraid to tell and be blamed for it.”

      Welcome to Christianity.

      If a man sexually exploits a woman, it’s the woman’s fault for leading him astray.

      This is how women are treated in deeply Christian communities.

      Those women fear stepping forward to report assault or abuse because there are many in their community that will condemn them for it.
