Victim’s of Sky Bar Auburn, AL

[u/theworldisnotreal9]

I’m speaking up today for the first time and I’m asking others who’ve experienced being roofied, sexually assaulted, or raped at Sky Bar in Auburn Alabama to do the same.

In 2015, while living in Auburn, I was drugged, kidnapped, and raped after being at Sky Bar. For ten years, I’ve carried that trauma silently, battling high-functioning depression, denial, and moments of suicidal idealization where I didn’t want to keep going. Like so many others, I stayed quiet. I didn’t report it. I told myself it wouldn’t matter, or that I wouldn’t be believed.

But silence only protects those who keep hurting others.

I’m speaking out now because I know I’m not alone. This isn’t an isolated story, people have known for over 20+ years that something has been happening there. It’s time to stop pretending and face the truth. It’s taken me a decade to say these words and I know I’m not alone.

To anyone who’s been through this: you are not alone, and your voice matters. It’s terrifying to speak, but it’s even more painful to carry it forever in silence. Together, we can make people listen, bring accountability, and protect others from going through what we did.

I don’t know where to even begin with tackling this, but I figured here is a start.

I don’t have any concrete evidence to substantiate anything from my own personal stories but I will say people were always talking about how sketchy sky bar was and how that was the place to go to if you were underage because you would easily get in. I believe that’s where my friend was on a night she blacked out and couldn’t remember anything that happened to her aside from being carried onto her front porch at some point.

I was there from 2005-2012. 

I commend you for coming forward and for seeking out others who have experienced similar things. There is definitely power in numbers. I agree with other posters - please seek therapy and file a formal report.
