Weeks later, she says, he ripped her dress at a play rehearsal and grabbed her exposed breast. Still she told no one. "If I had been raped by a stranger, I would have told someone. But to be raped by a friend -- I began to wonder, Whom do you trust?" She struggled to hold her life and education together, but finally could manage no longer...
