Following the conviction of her perpetrator in 2018 on three counts of rape and one count of sexual assault by penetration, resulting in a 12-year prison sentence, three years on license, and lifelong registration on the Sex Offenders Register, Natasha resolved to become the voice of support and understanding she had longed for during her own ordeal.
