My attorney wasn't able to be there because she was out of the country, and I love that for her.

I thought I was going to throw up when I saw him for the first time.

He was wearing the same cologne that he was wearing the night that he assaulted me.

I walked into the courtroom, and I was like, holy crap.

I could literally just smell it.

So that was kind of triggering, which was something that I didn't expect.

It made me really anxious, and I felt really small again.

I was back in that powerless position

The judge read my victim impact statement silently.

She looked at me and she was like, are you in therapy?

And I said yes, because now I am.

And she was like, I'm terribly sorry that this happened to you.

I hope that you can heal from this.

We ended up doing a plea deal.

The deal was that he got two years of probation.

Originally, he was supposed to get a year of probation.

But I asked for two years because I have two years left of school.

So why not have probation until I'm done with school?

And then we'll both

be on our way.
