Melissa McCormick was born and raised and still lives in Windsor, Ontario Canada. At the age of 19, she was returning home from a night out with her friends in Detroit, Michigan when she became stranded on the freeway just minutes away from the Detroit-Windsor tunnel. She was subsequently robbed at gunpoint, kidnapped and over a terrifying twelve hour period, gang raped repeatedly.
Working closely with the Detroit police, the perpetrators were brought to justice and three of the men remain incarcerated today.
Melissa’s Canadian best-selling book “The Queen’s Daughter” describes in detail the assault and the aftermath of being a rape victim.
“She is so normal. When you hear what happened to her you think, No way, amazing”.
“She has an undeniable passion for life.”
“I love her open and friendly personality. She is definitely confident in herself”.
Melissa is past President of the Windsor and Essex County Sexual Assault Crisis Center (2005-2008), past president of the Windsor Women’s Economic Forum and a former Rotarian. She is the recipient of numerous awards and honors for her work in the non-profit sector and is the 2009 Athena Award recipient sponsored by the Windsor and District Chamber of Commerce. Melissa will be recognized at the Business Excellence Awards Gala on April 8th, 2009.
At the end of 2005 she closed her successful retail business after 20 years to devote full time to the “Cause” and to represent all the victims who do not yet have the courage to stand up and speak out.
