42: Beaten and Raped by a Serial Rapist

22 Oct 2025

Description

After surviving a brutal sexual assault in 2011, Angelique refused to let her story end in silence. In this raw and powerful episode, she opens up about the day she was attacked by a serial rapist in Gainesville, Florida — the fight for her life, the trauma that followed, and the system that failed to deliver justice. Angelique speaks openly about the trauma of sexual violence, the realities of victim-blaming, and the deep cracks within a legal system that too often protects offenders over survivors. She exposes how rape kits sit untested, how alcohol and advocacy collide in spaces meant to be “safe,” and how many survivors are left without justice or support.But this isn’t just a story of what was taken; it’s about what she built after. Angelique found sobriety, purpose, and a mission to create trauma-informed, survivor-centered spaces where healing is possible. Her voice has become a force in sexual assault awareness and survivor advocacy, challenging the culture of silence and calling out the systems that need to change. Colorado’s Rape Kit Backlog Gofundmehttps://gofund.me/50413c11 Resources:RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network)24/7 confidential support, online chat & hotline 1-800-656-HOPEhttps://rainn.org/help-and-healing/hotline/ NSVRC (National Sexual Violence Resource Center)https://www.nsvrc.org Crisis Text Line741741 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline988 SAMHSA’s National Helpline (mental health and/or substance use)1-800-662-HELP (4357)  Beyond the Monsters Socialshttps://www.instagram.com/beyondthemonsters/https://linktr.ee/BeyondtheMonsters *Disclaimer: The content shared on this podcast is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
