After nearly a decade of seeking justice, one survivor said she finally has some closure.

There were seven women in a case involving former Utah State University football player Torrey Green.

"It hasn't fully hit me yet that this could really be the end, and I can finally heal, move on and be my best self," the survivor, who asked to remain anonymous said.
