Eleven years ago, Jane Piper had just finished buying groceries for her boss in Brentwood, Southern California and was in the store parking lot, when she was accosted by a stranger while in her car.

The man forced himself in, locked the car and proceeded to brutally assault and rape her. She escaped through a window as he drove away. For years the scars of that horrific incident haunted her.

She moved to Canada in an effort to start over. But there was no sense of justice or closure. Until, years later when detectives found a DNA match for the perpetrator.

This week, Piper took the unusual step of confronting her rapist, 58 year old Gilbert Trejo, in a courtroom while he was being sentenced.
