A British woman's horrific story of betrayal has gone viral online, after she detailed the moment she discovered her long-term boyfriend had allegedly attempted to hire her out to be sexually assaulted by strangers — using a Craigslist advert. The teenager, from north-west England — who cannot be named for legal reasons — shared the shocking story on Twitter last week, revealing she had "spent four years of my life with someone who I clearly didn't even know at all".
Her close friend also shared her story, explaining her horror at finding the atrocious advert, news. To try to find out if he had purchased a ring yet, the woman went through her boyfriend's phone searching for "any ring confirmation emails" but what she found was truly shocking.
The woman claimed her terrified pal read through email after email, where her boyfriend allegedly promised her body to strangers to sexually assault. She also had a message for people who had contacted her about removing the screenshots from social media. Another explicit message from a man, interested in sexually assaulting the woman, outlined all of the horrendous things he would do if the transaction was approved. As well as the graphic messages, the woman also claimed her friend's boyfriend had allegedly filmed and photographed the couple having sex — without her knowledge or consent — and "was sending them to these freaks" on Craigslist.
The former boyfriend — who has not been charged by police — has set his Twitter account to private since the story broke this month. The tweet was liked more than 40, times and retweeted by almost 15, people, with the woman at the centre of the alleged scandal retweeted her friend's post, adding "the police are fully aware of the situation". She also included screenshots which she claimed were text exchanges between her and her ex-boyfriend, where he said he was "embarrassed at what I've done".
The woman's friend said she "wouldn't normally put something like this on Twitter" but she had good reason to. If you've ever experienced sexual assault or abuse and need to talk to someone contact Safe to Talk confidentially:.
