Woman who was brutally attacked & raped in her home shares her story & pics of her injuries

Chanel Rose took to her instagram page to reveal that she was followed, brutally attacked and raped by a black young man in her apartment in Houston, Texas on Saturday April 23rd. Most women would deal with this horrific experience privately but I'm glad some women speak out. See more of Chanel's posts after the jump.

Listen I'm going to keep posting my horrible images until everyone woman that sees this takes their safety more seriously! I was beaten and choked outside of my home for at least 5 mins before he ultimately strangled me so much that I passed out! No one came to protect me, no one called the cops! Ladies you have to protect yourselves!! Be cautious, be prepared to defend yourself by any means necessary! Kick punch sream, do watever, but you HAVE to fight!! I'm here! God saved me for a reason! My rapist is still out there and I don't want anyone in life to go through this!!! I lived at Meyer Park Lakeside apartments in Houston, TX. It happened at 11:15pm and I'm pretty sure this same guy tried to attack me months ago! I will share my full store after I heal and rest! Please be safe ladies, please!!
