Against her will: the story of Sophie, who survived two years of bullying in captivity by a pervert

Young Sophie Crockett (Sophie Crockett) trembled with horror when her captor brought a knife to her throat and said: "We're going to die today." For two years, the girl from Wales was imprisoned, starved, regularly beaten and sexually assaulted by Simon Tibble, with whom she began dating at the age of 17. In the last days of captivity, the maniac did not allow Sophie to eat, sleep, drink and even go to the toilet. A girl suffering from Asperger's syndrome was able to escape when the rapist opened the door to throw away a broken toy.

Read on to the story of the pain and fear experienced by a girl in two-year captivity.The 30-year-old pervert controlled every aspect of his victim's life: from clothes to time spent in the toilet. The captive wrote a book about her torment and called it "Against My Will" (Against My Will).

The girl met her future tormentor quite by accident, campaigning for a political party in her hometown of Aberdare in Wales. At that time, she had just started to leave the house, overcoming her fear of the street and people who arose due to illness. Despite the fact that Sophie was a very intelligent child and read classical literature at the age of ten, she suffered from an eating disorder and anxiety. It was possible to alleviate the condition with the help of medications, and the girl began trying to socialize.

After meeting Tibble, Sophie soon came under his control. She never had a boyfriend. Over the next two years, she was subjected to terrible bullying. The man brutally raped the poor girl, beating her. The maniac ordered the victim how to behave during sex, and the British woman at this time felt like a limp rag doll. Her body was covered with bruises and bite marks. Sophie survived by repeating that everything comes to an end sooner or later, and her torment must also end someday.Simon Tibble was an unemployed father of two from Berks. He lied to a trusting girl about his past, and after a while he moved her to his cottage and completely isolated her from her family. In the house, Sophie was allowed to walk either naked or in children's clothes to look like a little girl. The pervert took care of her like a child: bathed, fed from a spoon and took her to the toilet. The maniac wanted them to stay together forever.

The man forced his victim to watch porn movies, and then recreated what he saw during sex with her. He did not give her food, believing that Sophie was too fat, compared to porn actresses. Once Tibble almost stabbed his victim, but he was prevented by a knock on the door.

The girl's parents tried to save their daughter, and the police issued a warning that her life was in danger, but despite this, Sophie remained under the control of her tormentor. He threatened to burn down his parents' house and kill the whole family of the girl, so she was silent.

The sufferings of the young British woman ended in 2012. The monster starved her for three days, not allowing her to move. Sophie was already saying goodbye to life, but her prayers were answered. Tibble opened the door to throw away a broken toy that was constantly cracking. His victim broke free and ran barefoot to his parents' house.The pervert was arrested in December 2013. He pleaded guilty to unlawful imprisonment of a person only after agreeing with the prosecutor that the charges of sexual violence would be dropped. The criminal was put behind bars indefinitely, but in 2018 — four years after the verdict — Sophie saw him on the street.

The former captive wrote the book in the hope of warning other women about Tibble's cruelty and talking about how the rights of victims of sexual assaults in the criminal justice system are being neglected. Despite the nightmare, Sophie started life with a clean slate — she entered a medical university. The girl is still afraid of the revenge of her tormentor, because she knows that he will not leave her alone just like that.

American Coleen Stan, like Sophie, suffered at the hands of perverts. She was abducted by sadistic spouses who raped the girl and hid her in a drawer under the bed for several years.
