'I am not a victim. I am victorious.'

Man arrested in 1990 rape of 8-year-old: Victim says she never gave up hope that attacker would be caught

In 1990 Jennifer Schuett, an 8-year-old girl in Dickinson, Texas, was kidnapped from her room, choked, raped, her throat slashed, and left for dead. She miraculously held on and was found 14 hours later lying naked in a field by a group of children.

It took 19 years, but they have arrested a man for the attack. 40-year-old Dennis Earl Bradford has been connected to the near-deadly assault through DNA evidence.

For more on the case, check out Schuett's website, Justice for Jennifer. I am glad to see she if finally finding justice. And may her attacker get the justice he deserves.
