Oh no! here it is

"In my case, I didn?t report the rape because I knew that my ex wasn?t the type who was going to attack other women. He wanted to assault me to make me feel that I was lower than him and that (because of my behaviour) I deserved one final act of abuse."

does she name her ex, or is there going to be more speculation about who her rapist is?

There would be if she let slip it was a celebrity.

Why submit an article at all if it does not have a point to it.
She could have claimed to have understood Katie price because of fear of not being able to cope giving the specifics (re-living the rape) etc
She could have continued to live with it privately and by that I don't mean to keep it a secret.
There seems so little to be gained apart from the sum a journalist earns for such articles!
Am I alone in thinking that giving these women a platform to stand while they drip feed the public, pulls the rug from under the feet of those brave people who put victims first and foremost?
