A 25-year-old Colombian woman had to escape through the window of the house where she lived in Staten Island, New York, to avoid being assaulted by her boss. The young woman shared her heartbreaking testimony.

Kelly Andrade thought she would add valuable life experience by leaving her native Colombia to work as a babysitter for a family in Staten Island, New York, in the eastern United States, but what happened to the place was a traumatic episode in which she had to escape through the window of the house where she lived to escape her boss, who was filming her with a camera hidden in her bedroom.

New York Police arrested Esposito on March 24, but it wasn’t until this week that Kelly was encouraged to speak with local media.
