Here's a link to the video of her talking:
http://www.wafb.com/Global/SearchResults.asp?qu=charmaine+neville&x=14&y=13


She sounds pretty over the top. She talks about "stepping over hundreds of
dead bodies", dead babies floating by in the water. She doesn't state she
herself was raped, but that "men came down and raped many of the women".

I think she took a lot of tales she heard from other people and has woven it
in to a personal narrative. Whether she herself was the victim of an
assault, hard to say.
