Llyn singer Duffy has published a harrowing account of how she was drugged and raped during a four-week ordeal.

The singer, real name Aimee Duffy, 35, from Nefyn, previously spoke about the incident in February, and said she would not give a face-to-face interview about the ordeal, and has instead now chosen to write in detail on a website, www.duffywords.com

In the lengthy post entitled The 5th House, she details how she was drugged in a restaurant whilst celebrating her birthday.

She writes: "It was my birthday, I was drugged at a restaurant, I was drugged then for four weeks and travelled to a foreign country.

"I can’t remember getting on the plane and came round in the back of a travelling vehicle. I was put into a hotel room and the perpetrator returned and raped me. I remember the pain and trying to stay conscious in the room after it happened.

"I was stuck with him for another day, he didn’t look at me, I was to walk behind him, I was somewhat conscious and withdrawn. I could have been disposed of by him.

"I contemplated running away to the neighbouring city or town, as he slept, but had no cash and I was afraid he would call the police on me, for running away, and maybe they would track me down as a missing person.

"I do not know how I had the strength to endure those days, I did feel the presence of something that helped me stay alive.

"I flew back with him, I stayed calm and as normal as someone could in a situation like that, and when I got home, I sat, dazed, like a zombie. I knew my life was in immediate danger, he made veiled confessions of wanting to kill me.

"The perpetrator drugged me in my own home in the four weeks, I do not know if he raped me there during that time, I only remember coming round in the car in the foreign country and the escape that would happen by me fleeing in the days following that.

"I do not know why I was not drugged overseas; it leads me to think I was given a class A drug and he could not travel with it."

She then explains how initially she was too terrified to go to the authorities, fearful that her attacker would find her and she was at high risk of suicide, but she has since reported the incident to police after speaking with a psychologist.

She wrote: "I would not see someone, a physical soul, for sometimes weeks and weeks and weeks at a time, remaining alone," she added. "I would take off my pyjamas and throw them in the fire and put on another set. My hair would get so knotted from not brushing it, as I grieved, I cut it all off.

"In hiding, in not talking, I was allowing the rape to become a companion."

She ends the post by writing: "I am sharing this because we are living in a hurting world and I am no longer ashamed that something deeply hurt me, anymore.

"I believe that if you speak from the heart within you, the heart within others will answer.

"As dark as my story is, I do speak from my heart, for my life, and for the life of others, whom have suffered the same."
