Alexis (not her real name) was left traumatized after being raped not once but twice -- once when she was aged 17 and again at 28. The second time it had happened, at least three men had been involved, and she was too drunk to realise what was happening until it was too late.
The incident had left the part-time administrator and security guard, now aged 49, pregnant with her son. She had been at a barbeque, and had been so drunk at the time she does not even remember exact details.
Sporting a short buzz-cut, the stout, manly-looking woman admits that she had been surprised such a thing had happened to her, not once but twice. After all, as she is quick to point out, "it's not like I'm a beautiful or attractive woman."
When she found herself pregnant soon after, she decided to keep the baby despite her misgivings. In time, she grew to love her son, who is now 20 years of age.
