It was common at my high school for students who were 18 to rent a cheap motel room and charge $5 for admission. The parties were typically held at a Red Roof Inn in my hometown; a place for us to party and drink, away from the watchful eyes of neighbors and suspecting parents. The party that led to my rape occurred in the winter of 2010, when I was 17. This is the first time I've ever told this story.
