A homeless woman who was raped while sleeping under a bridge last year sometimes begged for bus money or walked up to 8 miles over the past year so she could face her attacker in court.

Her determination to be in court helped win a conviction against the man, said a police officer who investigated the case.

I hope those that read this think about what this woman went through to do the right thing and how often many don't because it is to much trouble.

God bless her determination. I pray she finds the same determination necessary to get off the streets and avoid the next time.

Good for her...but honestly, walking 8 miles should not be a big deal, nor should it be part of the headline.

Too bad she isn’t an illegal alien. The feds would have given her a ride, a Medicaid card and a new change of clothes.

They would have given her a house, and a 3 year old Cadillac, just off lease : )
