The most painful day of Anne Peyton Bryant's life has led to her happiest month.
Eight years ago, Bryant was one of dozens of women sexually assaulted in Central Park by a roving gang of thugs after the Puerto Rican Day Parade, and became the most outspoken of the victims.
In the past week, Bryant got married, learned she passed the bar exam and celebrated her first Mothers Day as a mom.
"I'm just ecstatic. May is my new month!" Bryant said.
She plans to use her law degree to continue helping women who've been victims of violence - and said the horror she was subjected to on June 11, 2000, helped her find that calling.
"Life has a way of giving you things you don't expect," said Bryant, 33.
"When it happened to me, I never thought in a million years all this would have happened, that anything positive could come out of it, but it did. I found my voice."
