A brave Scots teen has opened up on the horrific sexual and physical abuse she suffered at the hands of her evil boyfriend before her family staged an intervention to help her escape. Roni Smith, who has waived her right to anonymity, was raped by Brandon MacLean just 19 days into their relationship after meeting him in August 2020.
The 18-year-old told how she initially believed Brandon was a ‘good guy’ but his abusive and controlling behaviour began within days as he tracked her every move via her Snapchat location, hounded her with constant phone calls and began isolating her from her family.
Three weeks into their relationship, Brandon raped Roni for the first time - taking her virginity in the process. Over the next six months, the abuser subjected her to repeated beatings, took her mobile phone, pressured her to get pregnant and would threaten to kill himself if she tried to leave him.
