Lady's Alleged Ordeal: Insomnia and Assault
According to the lady's account, she has been battling insomnia and often uses alcohol or other substances to aid her sleep. On the day of the incident, she said she consumed alcohol but was still struggling to fall asleep when she heard a knock on her door. After opening it, a man allegedly entered her apartment, pushed her, and hit her head against a fridge, causing her to lose consciousness. When she regained awareness, she claimed the man was assaulting her, with her tied up and a cloth stuffed in her mouth to prevent screaming.
VDM's Emotional Response and Plan for Justice
Reacting to the account, VDM expressed his personal connection, stating that he has sisters, some of whom live with him, which made the story particularly affecting. He emphasized that he does not know the lady's social media handle and has been actively trying to locate her. VDM urged his followers to reach out if they have any information about her identity, affirming his readiness to assist in seeking justice. He also requested that anyone with useful details contact his brother or send an email to him directly.
Alleged Abuser's Chilling Message
In the video, VDM read out a message allegedly sent by the suspect, which added a disturbing layer to the case. According to the note, the man claimed he used a blade on the lady, resulting in bleeding, and warned that she would get to know him better in the next four years when they meet again. He allegedly stated that he had been trying to get her attention but was ignored, except for one instance when she complimented his smell. The note further alleged that he paid heavily to obtain her address before carrying out the act and boasted that his wealthy father would shield him from consequences, while claiming the lady comes from a struggling family unable to pursue the case.
