Published through the university&#39;s student newspaper, Cherwell, it tells how he followed her as she left the Tube station in the early hours of April 11 before smashing her head against the pavement and tearing her bra in half. She asks him: &quot;Did you ever think of the people in your life?&quot;

&quot;We will get on the last Tube home, and we [will not]… submit to the idea that we are putting ourselves in danger in doing so.&quot;
 <h4>Brave words </h4>
The Camden woman wrote the letter as she launched a campaign by Cherwell called Not Guilty. Ione wants to make clear that victims of sexual assault are never guilty.
