I Was Gang Raped at 16

At 16 years old, Kate went to a lake house party with someone she trusted, unaware that the night would change her life forever. After drinking a small amount, she blacked out and spent years trying to understand what happened. Eleven years later, Kate received the case file and discovered witness statements and confessions that gave her a clearer picture of that night. She opens up about the lasting impact on her relationships and mental health, her struggles with depression and OCD, and finding healing through finally telling her story.
