What Really Happened on That February 20th Night?

Yesterday in a lengthy interview with an American newspaper date rape victim Marianne Brinner revealed new details concerning the said incident in London.

Today I reproduce her statement in full, which emerged from that interview here. The same statement was also sent to a leading South African newspaper that is covering the story.


"Here is a summary of the assault details because I think that this is such an important issue that I do not want to have any misunderstanding about it. I hope, you read this before making your final article.

Especially since I am sure that Jeff will tell the whole world that I agreed on having sex with him etc. etc. -

It started on February 20 after I had arrived in London. Jeff called me in the afternoon and then came to my Hotel (Holiday Inn Forum Plaza) around 6.30 pm. He had announced that we should meet in the Lobby, take a drink, talk a bit and then go out for Dinner.

So I dressed up for dinner, nice and elegant. But he came just wearing black trousers and a black sweater (a little bit like the MEND people in his Nigeria Report). I made a remark to this asking if he was really seriously thinking to have Dinner with me since as you may know, the London top restaurants have quite a strict dress-code. But he assured me that his outfit was ok 'why, what's wrong with what I am wearing?'

We then talked for about an hour, sitting in the Lobby, sipping a glass of wine (we really both had just one glass each - so alcohol is not the excuse for what happened later). Although I should have been warned: In the middle of our conversation (about the Nigeria Report, his problems with the CNN lawyers which were still going on also in London, and about people we both knew in and outside Kenya etc. etc. - he all of a sudden stopped and said 'I want to make love to you - now....' - I started laughing and did not take him serious, teasing him 'you are crazy - have you forgotten, we have a date to have dinner together ....' - and he again: 'but I am 'ready' - now....' - But then he changed back to our former conversation and I felt 'safe' again .....

But all the time I felt quite 'overdressed' and told him so and said, I would rather prefer to go to my room to change into some 'less fancy'...

He agreed and asked if he could come up also since he wanted to call 'his people' to see if everything was ok .... I told him to give me 15 minutes so I could change before. And then I made a big mistake: I had two passes (these security cards to use the lift and to enter the rooms) and I gave him one ....

I was still in the bathroom since he entered already after about 5 minutes - but I was wearing a housecoat - when he opened the sliding doors of my bathroom, pulled me out telling me 'not to be shy with him' - and then the big shock: he was already totally undressed..... he pushed me on the bed, and in seconds tried to enter me ..... I struggled and asked him several times to stop this - but he forced himself into me and that's when he has hurt me ..... he held my arms down and started kissing me (maybe he wanted to stop me from screaming) in a very brutal way ..... he saw the pain in my face since he even made the remark 'Did I hurt you? Do you have pain?' - I started crying and begged him again several times to stop, but he only said 'I can't - so just let me 'finish' ---- and continued. Every move he made was like a knife was going deeper and deeper in me cutting me apart.... it was horrible.

When he finished - yes, he even had an orgasm - he turned around and for about 3 minutes was lying on his stomach next to me without saying one word. I was still crying, shocked and devastated. And still without a word he got up and without washing himself put his trousers on and then even called - like nothing had happened - his people, chatting and laughing on the phone. He then turned to me 'sorry, but I have to go' and off he went.....

I stayed for a while in my bed wondering what I should do ...... then I saw the blood on my body and on the bed sheets ...... and I had only one thought: to 'wash away this dirt' so I took a shower and stayed under the water for more than half an hour…

I tried to call him the following day since I did not hear anything from him - but he had switched off his cell phone and in the Hotel (Kempinski) they always told me that 'he was not available'.

But now comes another thing which I have not spoken about yet: As I said, he had the 'pass' to my room since he took it with him and I always feared that he could come back in the middle of night..... and it came out that he really tried on the second night: After I had already sent the letter to CNN and he started to call me again, he asked if my daughter liked the DVD's he had left in my Hotel for her ..... I did not even know what he was talking about and he told me that he had come to my Hotel but the Night Concierge stopped him and he then left an envelop for me with these DVD's and a note at the Reception. I wrote to the Holiday Inn and after some days they confirmed this and apologized for not having given it to me when I checked out that morning. They then sent to me the envelop by DHL and besides the DVD's (about Darfur, Somalia and Oprah's School) it also contained a handwritten note by him saying that he came after having done a live interview at 4.20 am for Anderson Cooper 360 ....and that he had been very busy - working day and night .....and then he also attached the 'pass'…

I know I have made many mistakes - the biggest was to trust him - then the others to give him the pass and allow him to come to my room - but again: I was trusting him ..... like he had always told me 'I will never hurt you - everything will be done mutual - I have never forced a woman to have sex with me - I respect you too much to ever hurt you ..........'
I should have been warned about his intentions when he said in the Lobby ' I want to make love to you - now - I am 'ready'…

- and that's also one of the reasons why I did not go to the Police - I started to blame myself for having been so stupid…

The Real Power Of Kumekucha And The Internet

archive

Before you move on to today’s juicy post about Kanu’s secret presidential candidate, I have something very important to say.

I will not bore you with the details but one of the major realizations by top thinkers about the web is that the real untapped power of the Internet is in getting thousands or even tens of thousands of people to work on the same project at the same time, giving in their input. So instead of having one person doing all the thinking you get thousands of intelligent experts working on the same thing.

Many people do not realize it, but that is exactly what we have been able to achieve here in Kumekucha. Although I have some sort of track record in political analysis as some of you readers claim, the truth is that I am NO authority. However when you get dozens (and the number is rapidly rising daily) of different contributions from other “experts” out there, a keen reader is able to read through it all and arrive at a very accurate analysis of politics in Kenya. Naturally this sort of thing cannot be done on a newspaper page.

If you look through recent posts you will see many instances where the really valuable information has come in through comments from our regular readers rather than the main post.

We as Kenyans are at a very dangerous cross roads in our history. But this time we have something going for us. In the past, it has been impossible to read between the lines and see what our leaders are really up to. But thanks to the web, that will change this time round.

It is my hope that this strategy will be enhanced here especially as we enter the discussion in the next post which I believe is an area where the next president of Kenya will be decided.
