I walked up to the door to leave. He was standing right there, he grabbed me as soon as I reached for the handle, shoving me against the door and forcibly kissing me. I struggled and said I didn't want this but he wouldn't stop. I realised I was extremely vulnerable.
Strategised Escape
Strategized a get away to escape the mishappening
The victim further revealed how she managed to escape the mishappening with a strategy instead of panicking "He was physically overpowering me. I had to strategize to get away so I stopped fighting him off," she added. The strategy worked for her and she managed to ran away as soon as she got the opportunity to do so. It was indeed a horrifying incident.

I said hey okay, why don't we do this properly on the bed. He backed off smiling. As soon as there was a window of a gap in his hold on me I wrenched the door open and ran down the empty corridor with my heart racing, feeling any second I would be dragged back by him.
