What Was That Like - a storytelling podcast with amazing stories from real people
Society & Culture:Personal Journals
(Content warning – this episode includes discussion of sex trafficking, and graphic depiction of sexual attack. If you’re in the car with the kids, you might want to save this one for later.)
The situation that Jennifer found herself in is one that no one ever expects. She was away from home, and she didn’t really know anyone. On top of that, she was an American in Turkey and she didn’t speak much of the language.
And her attacker was strong, and determined.
But what came to her during this traumatic experience were things she had heard on a television show. Oprah Winfrey would sometimes have law enforcement specialists and self-defense experts on her show to give advice about what to do in certain situations. They said to always fight back – and NEVER let yourself be taken to a second location.
That advice, along with some other tips she remembered, may have helped save Jennifer’s life.
Because even though she was able to fight him off, he came back.
