Thanks to the advances in technology and Medicine and all that had to exist for the story to be told! Thank you God! This is a compilation of several peoples accounts,some even risking their own lives to save someone that could not mentally or physically help herself and needed to heal before she could even take the steps needed! All because of one man she hardly knew who used a fake account on Facebook and posed as someone she trusted to meet her disable her and gain control of everything she had! her phone,accounts,medication ,car,contact list ,everything! This can happen to anyone and was completely out of character for her especially after a life goal of preventing this bc of a similar situation that happened 20 years prior! Until she is 100% safe it's best to not upload photos! Just seeing her Facebook activity/pictures the last 4 years was enough for even those who didn't know her to see something was off (he was impersonating her and intentionally got her Facebook deleted I believe to cover up the severe head traumaS he caused & disguise it like mental illness & drugs that he slipped her & caused) , for those who knew her even a little or people that saw them together it was easy to see something wasn't right! Some of you may even be aware of his other victims and history of violence.
Four separate strangers reported this man but unfortunately the system is broken & he has family,friends and tatics that can make any kind of charge go away and worse , unfortunately she found out the hard way EVERY TIME(more than 10 until she couldn't) when she tried herself to report himl and leave! Next thing you know she disappeared for over a year! After 24-7( he did not work for 2 years) what I call torture and theft; she explains it as feeling like she had a lobotomy! She was far from pany kind of condition to even know how to get help, and if he saw her getting better he would make sure that didn't happen! So with all the previous memories systematically erased by the abuser after 15 separate occasions of bashing(against floors and walls) or being struck with heavy metal object I rather not describe! And put to and unconsciousness state over and over (he photographed himself!) On top of Being drugged,hypnosis full control of everything even her personal identity! Posing and anything you can imagine that kept him in full control appearing to be normal! He would either scare people that would help her, go through all her accounts to blackmail or destroy any type of relationships that could expose what he was doing and help her and kept her far from anyone that would notice the extreme difference in even just her appearance and seeing no life In her eyes! Further :The system was used against her instead of the abuser as often does which is how you can further keep someone hostage and scared! especially when they have people to help them abuse!

This Mother and licensed massaged therapist living in the country happy and doing well woke up in a real life nightmare ! For more than 2 years she WAS TARGETED.LURED, ,BRAINWASHED SCAMMED. ROBBED..Sexually ,mentally and physically ABUSED! MANIPULATED,DRUGGED AND MORE BECAUSE OF HER trusting heart ,search for love and childlike vulnerability SHE WAS completely UNAWARE FOR YEARS! But God is Good. Still recovering from repeated Traumatic Brain Injuries, Constant physical , mental sexual abuse + more but with several types of therapy was able to begin healing and confronting the truth that was being concealed from her , THIS HAPPENS more than people realize! ITS A TRUE BLESSING FROM GOD, I WITNESSED HER GO FROM A NORMAL WORKING MOM AND HOUSEWIFE IN THE COUNTRY TO a brainwashed child with a blank stare like no one was there within weeks of meeting this person. I also witnessed the power of prayer and true benefits of therapy. 
THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM and Love were used as weapons when she tried to leave, eventually she isolated in fear that even her friends and family weren't safe and didn't know how to safely leave and prevent further head injuries she knew would disable her even more ! From the abusers mouth as a result of displaced anger she died for 3 minutes but is a fighter and with the help of professionals nurtured her brain body and soul . She believes God is with her and what got her through the darkest times. She is now working towards rebuilding from nothing because she blindly gave all she had unknowingly and to stay safe in fear having almost lost her life too many times ! When her memory started returning, It was her therapist that helped her comprehend the situation she was in. Now DIAGNOSED WITH STOCKHOLM SYNDROME and PTSD on top of PTSD and traumatic brain injury after more than 10 separate "head bashings" one with her mother's heavy metal urn in a bag. She says it felt like a labotomy ,like she was in acoma hypnotized or drugged and had no thoughts for years about anything so that's how we ended up  
fundraising for a friend who has helped many people and now she needs the same . Another friend and witness: It isn't easy to make this short but I will do my best...
My friend was fully taken advantage,abused in ways I didn't know existed and she naive and afraid, lost everything, almost lost her life too. She is stuck in an abusive situation , recently diagnosed with severe PTSD and stockholm syndrome along with a lifetime of comprehension related disability which makes her an easy target especially when love is the weapon.
I believe that step one has to be a car even before a safehouse and relocation to safely take the next steps. She is alone, with closest friends and family 7 hours away. She has been faithfully in therapy and has taken the necessary steps to get back up after being knocked down again. Her vulnerable heart & mind along with grave fear from the detailed threats she has heard for the last 3 years has her starting from zero again, afraid to stay, afraid to go .. Her abuser has uniformed friends that have allowed the judicial system to be used as a weapon. Before this all happened she had a great job as a massage therapist, doing what she loved most ,healing and making people and animals feel amazing. Her son is her world but when he left to become a Us Marine 5 years ago, she was left alone. Her only support system and family unfortunately passed years ago. She was not even aware of her situation until it was too late, Until now she did not understand or know how to communicate this to anyone until recently with the help of survivor advocates and therapists. She dreams of building charities and starting causes that could have prevented all that's happened in her unfortunate past since childhood and ofcourse getting back her career and all she lost. She has faith she will get through this with help and one day help others in her situation survive what no one should ever endure. She also plans on writing a book series one day about her lifetime time of abuse and the consequences of denial and not knowing what healthy relationships look like. Please help me light an abuse free path and better future for Jasmine. Thank you so much. God Bless
