She was told that this rapist could be sent back to his country and that that might mean his execution. She turned to me, and I advised her to testify against this man. She had already forgiven him – and did not want to get him into trouble for vindictive reasons. But had she not come forward, he would likely have raped again. By the time she testified she had no bitterness, but merely described what happened. The man was sent back to his own country; we will probably never know what happened to him after that.
