Terror of rape haunts woman

Terror of rape haunts woman
Seven weeks after a rapist shoved a gun in her face, robbed her and sexually assaulted her, Melissa Dojka can't sleep at night. She stays up, lights on. Windows must be covered completely. And when she gets in a car, she locks the doors right away.

Before the attack, "I never thought I had to do things like that," she said. "I have a lot of anxiety now." That might fade, she said, but the feeling that she has to be aware of her surroundings, "I don't think that will ever fade."

Dojka (pronounced Doy-ka) is one of four women raped, authorities say, in a series of violent attacks carried out on both sides of Tampa Bay from early July through mid August.

Rigoberto Moron Martinez, 20, has been named as a suspect in her attack, as well as a rape and robbery at a St. Petersburg restaurant, the aggravated assault of two 17-year-old girls, and the abduction and rape of two women at the Docks Bar and Grill in Apollo Beach.
