GUATEMALA. Michelle was only 13 years old when a 53-year old man began harassing her. One day he caught her on her way home and forced her onto his motorbike. He drove to a nearby village where he raped her. The following day Michelle reported what had happened, but to no avail, the man was not arrested. Some time later he assaulted her again. This time he tied her to a tree and raped her until Michelle’s family found him in the act. After the pregnancy she went into shock, and for almost six months she did not want to touch the baby.
