A Rape in a Small Town: The Florence Holway Story: America Undercover

On Easter Eve 1991, a 75-year-old artist and grandmother named Florence Holway prepared Easter baskets for her grandchildren. At midnight, the normalcy of her rural life ended when a 25-year-old man entered her unlocked home – and brutally raped her. For Florence, the attack marked the beginning of a 12-year struggle to bring a criminal to justice – and bring change to a flawed legal system. Mrs. Holway’s ordeal, the strains on her family, and her 12-year crusade for tougher rape laws are the focus of this compelling America Undercover documentary.
