A 14-year-old was continually sexually abused by her alcoholic father and family friend. She was threatened with perpetration of abuse on her younger sister if she told anyone, so she believed she had to stay alive to protect her sister despite strong suicidal ideations. She left home after being raped by her father and his friends as a “birthday present” for one of them. She traveled to a part of the city where she previously lived with hopes to find her grandmother. She traveled by public transportation and walked the streets without attracting attention. After 8 hours, she was stopped by police due to being out past curfew. When questioned, she could not recall recent events or give her current address, stating that she lived with her grandmother.

She also denied any of the events that occurred over the recent years. Which of the following is the most likely diagnosis?
