Here is an excerpt from one of the narratives that Rinehart and Yeater (2011) collected for their study of sexual victimization narratives:
I was 17, my friends and I met some guys. They invited us to their house, because they were having a party. I started dancing with a guy for a while, and we started kissing. He led me into the living room and we sat down on the couch. He started kissing me and when I was laying down, he got on top of me. He tried to take my pants off and his, but I told him no and pushed him off of me. I got up and went to find my friends. (p. 937)
