When she was 11, Danielle Hicks-Best reported being raped — twice within weeks. But then she was the one who was arrested.
Danielle Hicks-Best, 18, was raped in Washington for the first time when she was 11 and again a few weeks later. Neither case was prosecuted, and, in the second case, she was charged with filing a false report and convicted. She spent years in and out of detention and treatment centers. Sarah L.
