The teenage girl whose rape in Maryville, Missouri, sparked a nationwide outcry after the charges were dropped against her accused rapist — a well-connected high-school football player — has written about the experience online. Daisy Coleman was 14 when she says she was raped by Matthew Barnett at a gathering of high-school athletes. In a post on the blog xoJane, Daisy describes how, on that night in 2012, she was told to drink from a tall shot glass. “Then it was like I fell into a dark abyss,” Daisy writes. “That’s all I could ever remember from that night.” Daisy then describes how she was dropped in the snow outside her house in 22-degree weather, where her mother found her in the morning. She describes the outcome of the rape kit, when doctors “verified that our nightmares were real.” And she recalls how after reporting the rape she was “suspended from the cheerleading squad and people told me that I was 'asking for it' and would 'get what was coming.'” Online, people urged her to kill herself, which she tried to do twice. Daisy continues, “I also refuse to be a victim of cruelty any longer. This is why I am saying my name. This is why I am not shutting up.” Daisy’s case went viral after an article in the Kansas City Star and a video by the hacker group Anonymous. Last week the prosecutor who dropped the charges said he was asking for a court-appointed special prosecutor to review the case. Daisy called that announcement “a victory, not just for me, but for every girl.”
