This article focuses on the life of Seemona, her experience, Jerry Ramrattan as the attacker, her tortuous experience and where she is currently.
Early Life and Education
Seemona Sumasar was born in Guyana as the first of the three children in her loving family. The crucial events in her childhood include her parents’ decision to move to New York where she was only 11 years of age. Seemona was a girl living a large city where living was quite a challenge but she found strength in the way her father struggled to earn a living. He worked in a piano manufacturing firm and later started a taxi business to make her embrace hard work in future businesses since she ventured in the business world.
Once she was done with her education, she joined the Queens University and obtained her Bachelor’s degree. Leveraging on her earned degree and the spirit of a true fighter, she established herself on the Wall Street security. By the year 2006, she had been promoted to the position of the financial analyst at Morgan Stanley proving the fact that she was very hardworking as well as intelligent.
Career and Family Life
Like her professional life, Seemona also became an aspiring entrepreneur. That is why, despite the working hours, starting with the waking up at 5 a. m. at Morgan Stanley, and continuing with her business initiatives at night, she was eager to build something of her own. And so in 2006 she decided to open a franchise of the Golden Krust , a decision she made barely few weeks after the suicide of her father.
Seemona was a single mother who was managing several responsibilities as the breadwinner of the family though she had a vision to make her daughter have a stable and a prosperous future. This was also the time that she met Jerry Ramrattan, a man who was to bring chaos into her existence.
Meeting Jerry Ramrattan
Seemona met Jerry for the first time when he visited her restaurant and began chatting with her, his name, he said was a police officer from the station close to the restaurant. She fell for his smooth talking charming personality plus he appeared to be trying to be helpful to her, they started dating but her daughter was not very comfortable with this arrangement. After some period of time, Jerry began living with Seemona, and they even spoke of marriage, however the relationship would change for the worse.
The Nightmare Unfolds
While in 2009, Seemona received a disturbing telephone call from a lady identifying herself to be Jerry’s wife. The woman did not only inform the audience that Jerry was a married man but also a liar, who was not a police officer as he pretended to be. Jerry, together with Seemona confronted and he began to lessen things telling Seemona that while it was true that he was separated, he never engaged in any of the more severe acts as accused by Seemona. Even though P wanted to continue the relationship, Seemona decided to leave him, which made him start an extremely cruel streak.
Jerry’s response was one of the cruelest forms of bullying, one that was most probably planned. He bashfully attacked Seemona in her own home and upon her going to the police to report that she had been raped by him he then went on to do everything in his power to ruin her life. Jerry had framed Seemona for a series of armed robbery incidences despite knowing she was innocent but his serious plan made her be arrested and imprisoned for seven months.
Fighting Back
Seemona’s days in jail were definitely the time she would label as her ‘dark’ years, nonetheless she never lost faith. Following the inputs of her family members and her councils, she successfully defended herself. As much as it was tough, the truth came out when one of the other girls who had a relationship with Jerry testified against him and revealed the plan. Jerry was convicted in several charges of rape and conspiracy among others and he was therefore sent to jail for a total of 33 years.
