Sadly, she was assaulted and attacked by a man named Daniel Lynch, a martial arts fan who had been tricking Piper's life through the internet. They first met in Reading, Berkshire and began dating. Two weeks into the relationship, Lynch beat and raped Piper and threatened to kill her. She was stabbed several times in the arms in the attack. Despite this violence, Lynch convinced Piper to meet him at an internet cafe several days later after she had been treated at the hospital.
She was approached by a man who she thought was going to ask for money but instead, he dumped acid on her face. The attack was captured on surveillance footage and both Lynch and the man he hired to throw the acid are in jail on life sentences in the UK.
