I Survived a Brutal Home Invasion — and Married the DA Who Put My Attacker Away [7RhERPeTi9l]
The following content contains descriptions of sexual violence, which may be disturbing for some viewers. At 20, Kimberly Corban was a college student living alone when a stranger broke into her apartment and raped her. What followed was a fight for justice that required immense courage, resilience and strength. Kimberly recounts the terrifying night of the attack, the difficult road to holding her rapist accountable in court, and the painful reality she was forced to process in its aftermath: “I knew that my body was a walking crime scene.” In this deeply powerful interview, Kimberly shares the emotional toll of the trial, the lasting impact of the trauma and how she started to rebuild her life. After the trial, she began working at the District Attorney’s office. More than a decade later, she formed an unexpected bond with the very prosecutor who helped put her attacker behind bars — a relationship that grew into love. Reflecting on her husband, she says, “he was an encouraging friend, and coworker, and my hero, and eventually the love of my life.” Now an advocate for survivors of sexual violence, Kimberly uses her voice to support others navigating their own healing journeys, transforming pain into purpose and hope.
