Medusa was a follower of the virgin goddess Athena, and her workers were to remain virgins. However, Medusa, being quite beautiful, was raped by the god of the sea Poseidonin the temple of Athena. Poseidon was not blamed, however, Medusa was, and because of that, Athena turned her and her sisters into Gorgons

Medusa and her sisters were a sea goddess and Poseidon fell in love with Medusa. But they sneaked away to Athena's temple and she was mad at them for "desecrating" her temple. So she turned Medusa and her sisters into gorgons to make sure no men ever look at them again (that's why the gorgons can turn people into stone). But she held a special grudge against Medusa and made her mortal while her sisters are immortal. Also, Pegasus is said to be the child of Poseidon and Medusa but could not escape Medusa's body until after her death of beheading.

No source seems to be specific about this. Only that she looked horrible and that her gaze turned everybody to stone.
