Going through the trial and having him get out made me feel worse than going through the actual rape, because I had to relive the rape and gruesome details to a court full of strangers, to put yourself through that and then have the military say,' that's great that that happened, but we're going to let him go free,' and just trying mentally to deal with that -- it's been impossible to heal from the rape. With him going back and with the country standing behind rape victims, I think this is going to bring healing to me and a lot of other victims.
