I was a foreign exchange student in Paris and so excited to be in this beautiful and vibrant city! I had been there for a few months and was just learning my way around the metro and train system. One day on my way home from class, while standing in a very crowded train, a man behind me thrust his hand between my legs and grabbed my crotch. I screamed out, but was shocked and paralyzed! The people around me only looked at me like I was crazy. The man just moved through the crowds into another train. This incident scarred me for life. As a student, I was afraid to take the train alone after this. And I will never get on a crowded train again.
