One of my friends was just sexually assaulted.

[murielm99]

She works at a convenience store/gas station. She goes in early to make the doughnuts. This happened at 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning. Her co-worker did not hear anything, but the guy across the street did, and he called the cops. She put up a helluva fight.

She is forty and she is not married. She has a lot of friends, but she prefers her independence. She and her divorced mom own a home together.

She is my daughter's friend, too. I let my daughter know about it.

Apparently this was done by a carnie. We are having a town festival right now, and there is a carnival in town. The carnie is in jail.

How do I help her?
