Oswego, NY – April is Sexual Assault Awareness and Prevention Month, and for one Central New York woman, this is personal.

Renee, who'd like to keep her last name private, is a rape survivor. She tells WRVO's Jasmyn Belcher her story, and provides some insight as to how she dealt with the trauma and how she is no longer silenced by it.
