The Roanoker - March/April 2015 - 34
Teresa Berry & John
Perry: "Sexual assault
serves a non-sexual need.
You have to put sex into
the formula because the
rapist chose rape."
he'd take me [to finish what he apparently thought was
a romantic encounter] and what we'd do there. I finally
said my in-laws were expecting me and I had to go. I
drove off. Didn't want him to follow me.
"I was afraid he had run my plates and would stalk me
and was anxious about being pulled over in the future. I
developed a general fear of cops and became very formal
if I had to deal with one. I felt like I'd asked for it because
I pulled over when he waved and I was afraid of consequences if I fought back. I felt unclean, guilty, ashamed,
but didn't report it for fear of retaliation."
AN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY STUDY by Callie
Rennison and Lynn Addington recently concluded
that, "Women at the margins are the ones who bear
the brunt of the harshest realities, including sexual violence, and they do so with the least resources."
The study found that college students are raped at a
rate 30 percent higher than other women and that poor
women are victims of sex crimes at a jaw-dropping six
times that of high-income women.
Women in rental housing are assaulted at a rate more
than triple that of women in homes they own and single
women with children have the highest rate of sexual as-

with no children, more than three and a half times that
of married women with children and triple the rate of
single women with no children. Women without a high
school diploma are sexually assaulted at four times the
rate of women with a bachelor's degree.
"The one risk factor that remains consistent whether
women are advantaged or disadvantaged is age, and
women ages 16 to 20 are sexually victimized at the
highest rates," says Rennison.
Berry says that people who have been raped are
more likely to be raped a second or third time than
people who have never experienced a sexual assault.
Sometimes it begins very early.
DONNA, A MARRIED WOMAN in Roanoke who
is near 50, had a family problem that came up short of
rape, but put her on alert early. "From puberty I was
uncomfortable around my father and made it a point
not to be 'attractive' near him.
"I discovered a few years ago that my cousin was molested by my father when she was 15 and he was visiting her family. I was 16 at the time. Later, I asked my
half-sister, who was my age, if my father had ever 'done
