this happened for real... A neighbours ordeal was that she was raped 10 years ago by some armed robbers. though they were masked, they came into her apartment and after robbing her, they also raped her. The rapist was called spyder by his fellow robbers as a nickname and that was all she could remember. Do you know that after 10 years she married a man and have been living with this man only to find out that this was the same man that raped her 10 years ago. She had confronted him after having investigated him and found that he was indeed the same man that raped her. If u were in her shoes, what would u do? Though she reported to the police and the man is in jail now but thats hers what about you?

wow billgatexp that is some tale. Talk about your whole world falling apart not only once but twice and over the same dude. There is no time when murder is acceptable but you could see how a jury would find it easy on her if she went postal and took this guy out. The problem is he did know the whole time, she never did which makes it even more alarming.

that could be true. what if he married her just to make up with her? he might have know all this while but kept quiet because he never wanted to hurt her.... does he deserve what she did to him as a husband? let me know your opinion

That would be absolutely nuts, but you know that there have been rapist that are suave like this and they like one of their prey they make it happen. Of course they usually continue raping but they treat the wife/gf with respect NOW. It is just nuts I think I would puke all over him. Wonder how long they were married and how did she find out?

Her hubby raped her ten years ago. This story sounds kind of strange, how could she not know that it was the same man that had raped her ten years ago b4 she decided to marry him?

Yes but it was on a episode of Law and Order. I think that they get their stories from the real life... Dont tell me that they dont! I think that I would divorce him. But after ten years... isnt there some sort of statute of limitations?

Wow...tah's insane. I don't know what i would do. What about if it's a man you trully love, and he trully love you too, and you both had a good marriage, that's really had to decide. But one thing, i think he should have told her about it, tell her about his past. But i think either way, it would still be devastating to know. You reap what you sows, maybe he deserves that. Because what about he was still a rapist after marrying her living a double life. Complicated matter, that's all i could say.

This is crazy. I did watch a lifetime movie similair to this. I think if it were me I could not be with my husband if I found out he had violated me like this then tricked my into marrying him by not telling me. Besides who could be married to a rapist? I don't know many people who could! It would be like being violated all over again to find something like this out. She did the right thing! I feel bad for her;-(

What a horrible story! I believe that she should have turned him in and I can understand why she wants to terminate the pregnancy. I am not sure that I could love a baby knowing that the father was my rapist. Did he admit to the fact that it was him? If so, I probably would have never made it to the police as I would have probably gotten rid of him myself. Did he know that she was the woman that he had raped? If so, that is sick. I would think that he deserves all that he got. She would never be able to make this marriage work and she would wonder if he was raping other women. I am proud of her for putting him in jail and I hope that he stays a long time. Tell her to move on with her life and be proud of the fact that she put this man in jail and he won't harm anyone else. He has done a lifetime of damage in her life twice.

oh my goodness i cant believe it and i dont know what to say.they already lived together then she will found out that the man she married is the same man who raped her.im just curious if the girl dont love the guy anymore.what if she didnt found out that its the same guy who raped her,she still love him right.im not in the situation thats why i really dont know what to do.but if the girl is pregnant,its not right to abort the baby because its not the baby's fault and the baby deserves to live.

i think marring to the same guy who you know that has been a rapist especially when she herself is the victim is a crazy thing to do i mean there are other ways to find out that he is the one who raped her and then report to the police but to marring him i don` think that was a wise decision according to me.....

yeah... but some people say she should have divorced him and let him go rather than talking to the cops... do you think that is right?

What she does is appropriate at that time for her. It would have been with someone else then she would have done same thing. According to me, everything is done for a good cause. It would enlighten the path of life for both of them in future by giving them good things what they really deserve by sacrificing today. I think the man would now fell guilty and have his punishment and after its over they would definately be with each other living happily ever after....

What a nightmare! I would probably have done the same, reported him. I know I could never let him touch me again, and would want to make sure he couldn't do the same to other women.

thats ok... but what if he had changed? would you still do the same?

I feel sorry for this woman, I think her husband married her for a reason, I think she should not be married to him. what if he raped more women and she didn't know, what if she has a child and the husband would rape her child. I think that she made a great decision in reporting him, however she shoul divorce him for sure.

i'm so shocked ! well, if during their marriage, they feel happy to be together, the woman may conceal the bloody fact if they later do love deeply each other. yeah, by sending the man into jail, justice is done, but she lost her marriage, hope she doesn't have children of than man. sometimes, something is best left unsaid.

she overheard a friend call him spyder and the memory came back but when she asked him he only said they call him spyder in his secondary school days. she then had to dig and lo he was the same man that raped her
