One of my friends was just sexually assaulted.
She works at a convenience store/gas station. She goes in early to make the doughnuts. This happened at 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning. Her co-worker did not hear anything, but the guy across the street did, and he called the cops. She put up a helluva fight.
She is forty and she is not married. She has a lot of friends, but she prefers her independence. She and her divorced mom own a home together.
She is my daughter's friend, too. I let my daughter know about it.
Apparently this was done by a carnie. We are having a town festival right now, and there is a carnival in town. The carnie is in jail.
How do I help her?

Listen, and provide tea.
When she's ready, help her be empowered. Take a self-defense class or two. Go with her. I got away from a guy that attacked me when I was out for a run years ago. I testified in court, got interviewed on TV, and helped organize for the county police dept. to hold a self-defense class.
Sending healing thoughts to your friend.
