Sherry Johnson says she was raped four times by age 10
Emily Shugermln, New York
A woman from Florida has claimed she was forced to marry her rapist at age 11.
Sherry Johnson says she was raped four times by members of her family’s church congregation as a child. As a result, she became pregnant at age 10.
When investigators began looking into her case, she claims her family tried to protect her rapist by forcing her to marry him.
“My mom asked me if I wanted to get married, and I said, ‘I don’t know, what is marriage, how do I act like a wife?’” Ms Johnson told The New York Times. “She said, ‘Well, I guess you’re just going to get married.’”
Florida is one of 27 US states that permits children of any age to be married with their parents’ permission.
