Alicia “Kozak” Kozakiewicz remembers thinking she wasn’t leaving her captor’s dungeon alive after four days of rape and abuse.
She was 13 years old when an online predator lured her from her parents’ home in Pittsburgh on Jan. 1, 2002, drove her to Virginia and chained her in his basement.
“He put a locking dog collar around my neck and dragged me to his dungeon and raped me,” Kozak told Fox News Digital.
“He chained me to the floor with this dog collar next to the bed. I was raped and beaten and tortured in that house for four days.”
On the fourth day, Kozak said her attacker – whose name she won’t speak – told her, “I’m beginning to like you too much. Tonight we’re going to go for a ride.”
“I knew in that moment there was nothing I could do,” Kozak said. “I knew he was going to kill me.”
As she accepted what she thought was her inevitable fate, Kozak thought about her parents “and how much they loved me.”
“That’s what kept me going, but I knew it was unlikely that I was going to make it out of there alive,” she said.
Before that “ride” her captor promised, Kozak heard banging against the door and “angry voices shouting.”
She didn’t know at the time it was the FBI. There was originally an “all-clear,” but she thinks she made just enough noise because one of the agents shouted, “Movement over there.”
“I remember dragging that cold, heavy chain out, and trying to put my hands up but also trying to cover myself at the same time. I had no clothing on. I was staring at the end of a gun,” Kozak said.
