Sarah, 19, lives with her mother in a small, conservative, rural community. Sarah's father died when she was 16 years old. Sarah's uncle occasionally visits on holidays. Three months ago, on a recent visit by her uncle, while her mother was out of the house, her uncle told Sarah that he loved her and then threw her down on the couch and raped her. He later told her that she had seduced him, and to never mention what happened. Sarah was terrified, guilty, and didn't know what to do. Later she was relieved to have her period. At least she wasn't pregnant. But she became anxious and withdrawn. She wouldn't go out, except to church with her mother. She had trouble sleeping and was filled with shame and guilt.
