Seeking Justice

This is not about programming or hobbies, it's about a serious crime

I moved to Austin, Texas in February 2022 after winning the Green Card lottery. With my background in web development and clothing design, I secured two jobs: a personal shopper at Walmart and a part-time React Developer, taking those important first steps in a new country.

It happened while I was sleeping in my apartment - an event that changed my life forever. I have a brief, terrifying memory of waking up to see one of my coworkers from Walmart. When I tried to reach for my phone, the coworker threw it to the floor. I turned my head to the right and saw someone else. I remember a tissue with some substance being placed over my face. After that, everything goes blank. This wasn't a party gone wrong or a risky lifestyle choice - I was attacked while sleeping in my apartment.

During my time in Austin, I became a target of systematic dehumanization. It started at Walmart and expanded throughout the community in Austin. My attackers manipulated social opinion through political tensions, fears, and prejudices. They labeled me as a "Russian scout," then a "Ukrainian prostitute," then "mentally retarded" and "mentally unstable".

Some coworkers discussed my personal medical information, accessed without my consent, and spread videos I've never seen. They treated me as an object, not as a person. I also got problems with my health after the attack that could not have occurred naturally.

No one talked to me about this, and I had almost no memories of what happened. But in the past, I had woken up during surgery to remove my appendix. This experience gave me first-hand experience with how medical drugs affect consciousness and memory. Because of this experience, I could finally understand what happened to me that night. Other victims probably would never be able to make such a connection. Without a similar experience, they might never understand what was done to them.

I reported the incident to law enforcement, but they dismissed my claims and labeled me mentally unstable. They closed the case without proper investigation. Meanwhile, my coworkers continued discussing my personal information, including medical data, without my involvement. This forced me to seek answers independently.

This isn't just about one crime. Each time the predators succeed, they perfect their method. They learn how to manipulate social opinion, breach personal data, and control their victims. They create a system where serious crimes become tolerated, where victims are silenced through humiliation and social isolation. Today it's me - tomorrow it could be anyone, regardless of their background, job position, or social status.

I am sharing my story because it represents a dangerous new form of exploitation, where criminals can destroy a person through assault, torture, personal data theft, and deliberate social manipulation. This approach creates severe, long-lasting damage that many victims may never fully recover from. It strips away basic human rights and dignity while leaving victims vulnerable to ongoing physical, psychological, and economic harm. I continue to seek legal support and invite anyone with relevant information to come forward. Documenting and addressing these crimes is crucial to ensure that such violations of human rights do not become tolerated within our legal and social systems.
