When she was 19, she was returning home from a night out with her friends in Detroit, Michigan. She became stranded on the freeway just minutes away from the Detroit-Windsor tunnel. She was subsequently robbed at gunpoint, kidnapped and over a terrifying twelve hour period, gang raped repeatedly. Working closely with the Detroit police, the perpetrators were brought to justice and three of the men remain incarcerated today. Melissa's Canadian best-selling book The Queen's Daughter describes in detail the assault and the aftermath of being a rape victim.
