Fighting for Justice
One night 20 years ago, Jennifer Schuett, age 8, went to sleep in her Texas bedroom -- and awoke to a stranger carrying her across a parking lot. He raped her, slit her throat and left her for dead. But she didn't die. Here, a young Schuett poses in a hospital room.



CNN normally does not identify victims of sexual assaults. But Schuett wants to go public with her story-- and her name-- to increase the chances of finding and prosecuting her attacker.
"It's not about me anymore," she explained. "It's about all the little girls that go to sleep at night. I know there are so many girls out there who have been raped and hurt. You have to fight back."
