I know that a lot of medieas visit my site to get information about the accident. I really don´t want to end up in the newspapers. I hope that you'll soon find something more interesting to write about. Please do not use any of my pictures of either Brian or me. I know that some newspapers have but they did it without our permission so please respect our need for privacy :´(

After talking to our lawyer I have removed my drawing of the man, even though I thought it might help catch the guy.
It's not the police who have asked me to do this, the swedish police have been nothing but nice to us. I'm write this for all you people from the newspapers etc. who contact me a lot.

My vacation to Sweden went pretty bad. Brian, whom I went with and me got attacked by 5 boys on our very first evening. We were hurt pretty bad but both survived...
This is one of the guys who attacked me and almost raped me. I really want to catch this guy, obviously.
I'm putting up this drawing I did out of my memory of him, with hope that someone will recognize him. If you do please write me. Anything you know may be useful...

The medias have been writing a lot of stuff about the accident. Here's what really happened:

Last thuesday we went to Sweden. We were suppose to just drive around on our bikes for about 5 days just viewing the nature and stuff. On our very first day we slept (in our tent) in a place called Klagshamn. It was near a beach with a lot of people.
It was almost dark when 5 boys came to our tent. In the beginning they were nice asking who we were and stuff like that. Then they left. 10 minutes after they came back. Brian stepped out of the tent and asked them what they wanted and then one of them kicked him in his stomach. I was still in the tent. Then one of the other guys came to the tent and tried to grab me on my breast but I knocked his hand away.
Then he asked for our money and phones. He kept saying: "give me your money" (in swedish).
I had a lot of stuff in my back too, my diskman and my camera and also a knife. I manage to hide the knife away while he was taking my camera. I tried to get out the tent - I did not know howelse to get away. Then he crabbed me in my hair and dragged me to the fireplace nearby. There were a lot of stones and he crashed my head against those stones 2-3 times. I remember things being dark and yellow I think I was unconscious for a few seconds. He managed to remove my shorts and.. (don't want to tell the details - obviously). Another guy was holding me down. I was screaming and trying to get away - of cause - and before he manage to complete everything I got away. Our tent was near the ocean, so I just ran into it and luckily he gave up and shortly after they left. Whether he didn't want to get into the filthy ocean (it smelt really bad and were filled with mouldy seaweed) or just got what he wanted I don't know.
I had no idea if Brian was alive when I was standing out there in the ocean. I was so afraid and thought I would die. I had no idea whether I was going to die or not. My head was hurting so bad and I was about to pass out. The worst thing was that I was so afraid I would never get the chance to say goodbye to my mom and the rest of my family. It was hell.
Luckily Brian was alive too... I just keep thinking that if I had not been able to break loose from him/them I might have been raped by all of them or maybe dead.
We are both okay physically, besides from a lot of bruises and ache. I've sprained my right hand, but I am able to draw. I tried it yesterday and it went alright. I was so afraid that I would never be able to draw again - I was really terrified!

The reason I'm telling the strory is that we are already in the danish and swedish newspapers so most people will find out anyway. We were very shocked when we got home to Denmark, because we had no idea that we were on the front page of a lot of papers. Our names were also Typed. Being the only one in Denmark named Zindy Nielsen I'm pretty easy to find. A lot of medieas in Denmark have already contacted me but Brian and me have refused to participate telling our story. We just want people to forget about it, I really don't want to be known as the girl who was raped. The newspapers wrote that Brian had been bound and watched me get raped, they also wrote that we are a couple which we are not - we are very good friends. It's really sad that they just made up some things, probably just to make the story more interesting.

They have catched 4 of the guys already. 1 of them is the one who did it to me. We will soon go to Sweden again and identify them. I'm looking forward to it, so that they can get the punishment they truely deserve!

The whole accident have made me look differently on a lot of thing. Some things seem so small and unimportant. Right now we are just trying to get back to normal and try to forget the accident, but I guess only time will erase the pain.
