In Memory Of Charmaine Maeer
In memory of 2013 Charmaine Mary Nona Maeer who
was diagnosed with breast cancer at the young age of 30 after finding a lump
and passed away on the 12 July 2013. All profits from the sale of this book
will go to breast cancer charities.
A former Midland soldier claims she begged a colleague to shoot her after she was gang-raped at a Midland barracks in 1997.
Charmaine Maeer, now deceased, says that she was beaten and repeatedly raped during just 10 days service as a soldier at Whittington Barracks in Lichfield, Staffordshire, England.
HERE ARE CHARMAINE'S OWN WORDS FROM HER ACCOUNT
Along with around 12 other girls,
I was shown to my dormitory, where I started to unpack. As I nipped to the loo,
I noticed one of the male soldiers following me.
"Where are you going?" he
barked.
'To the toilet," I replied timidly. I hadn't even got through the door
when he pounced and I went crashing to the tiled floor. He kicked and punched
me then started to pull off my clothes. In my terror and confusion, I thought
that I must have broken the rules somehow.
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry," I yelled,
trying to wriggle free of his clutches. I was no match for him.
He raped me, I limped back to the
dormitory in a daze. One thing I knew, however: this had to be reported. I
found a woman - for legal reasons I can't identify her - and, sobbing, told her
everything. "I'll see what I can do," she said reassuringly.
All afternoon I waited for her to
come back, for someone to summon me; but no one did. At 10.30pm, I sat looking
through the window at the barbed wire and guard dogs and terror crept over me.
I was trapped.
