‘General Hospital’ Spoilers: Brown Allowed A Stranger To Buy Her A Drink
Brown was sexually assaulted in Brooklyn, New York, in 2016.
“Something happened in 2016, and it blew up my life. I struggled with my mental health as a result of it for years,” she said. “I was roofied, and I was raped violently, from what I could tell. I don’t have a memory of it.”
She had just spoken to her best friend, who told her to call her if she got into trouble. She laughed it off, believing she was tough and could handle Brooklyn.
Brown was waiting to meet a friend in a bar, and a man offered to buy her a drink. Sarah hesitated but agreed. She walked outside with him to sit on the patio, and that’s the last thing she remembers.
Sarah woke up the following day wearing someone else’s clothes. She was in bed, looked outside, and saw a brick wall, and she started to panic.
Brown had no idea what she was doing there and didn’t recall how she got there. Her head was pounding, and she went to get her bags.
That’s when she saw a 30-year-old man who exclaimed,
She felt a sense of relief when he said that, and she commented that he appeared very genuine and kind.

When she asked what happened and how she got there, he told her that she needed help because he saw her talking to a “guy” who had bought her a drink, and he said that she was sobbing. He claimed that when he asked her if she was okay, she said,
“No, I’m not okay, get me out of here.”
Sarah immediately sensed he was lying. He insisted he would get her an Uber, and he called her phone so she presumably would have his number. The Uber dropped her off nowhere near her hotel when the driver ordered her to leave the car.
Brown got out and immediately started to vomit white foam, which is essential to note because she had been drinking red wine.
She went to the closest hotel and realized she had been assaulted. Upon leaving the hotel, she went to a private doctor. She was bruised with broken capillaries around her neck and a broken toe.
