I was put into a hotel room, and the perpetrator returned and raped me. I remember the pain and trying to stay conscious in the room after it happened. I was stuck with him. I was somewhat conscious and withdrawn. I could have been disposed of by him." Duffy was ultimately imprisoned for four weeks and has spent years attempting to heal from the ordeal.
