She Was Raped at 22. As a Rape Survivor, she speaks out.

Oct. 22, 2007, when Amanda Collins was just 22 years old, her life would change forever. “I lived through the worst fear that I had had up until that point,” says Collins, who’s now a mother of three,  “What happened was that while I was a student at the University of Nevada Reno, I was brutally raped.” Nine years later,  Collins’ convicted rapist is now sitting on death row for raping and killing another victim in Nevada.
