I have an aliby for the time in question. That sketch is so generic. I am caucasion, about six feet, dark hair, and sometimes I have a few whiskers. The only thing seperating me from that sketch is the fact that I have a crew cut.

Come on APD you know that, that sketch will either net you 1000 leads or none. You have to do better.

I don't buy it
First she waited too long,
also 7:30 in the middle of downtown on a weekend in daylight ?

Yes 7:30 is very bright daylight

Reminds me of the other recent victim, the man from Grove Park Inn who was sexually molested for 28 minutes, Whatever happened to that story ????

If someone is really sexually assaulted, that is a terrible crime, but it's also a terrible crime to file false claims
it did

I know her, she is an amazing person and was traumatized by this. Please do not make light of it, that only adds insult to injury

Your right. That should be rethought. After further thinking they do each other while Brownie Newman sits in the corner crying because theirs is bigger than his. They don't remember to much because Bellamy has got her lips wrapped around a crack pipe her drug dealing brother got for her because of the politcal pull she has got to keep the police away from his dealing areas. In other words eveyone one of those @#!$%&**#@ liberal f#@$#@!## on that city council can stick their heads up there @#@!$# and take the bike seat off and ride it all the way back to the areas they moved here from. F*#! Them.
Tell us how you really feel, man. Heavens.

It seems odd to you and me, but it is not unusal for a victim of rape to wait days before reporting it. I'm no therapist, but as I understand it. There are issues of misplaced guilt, imbarassment, and fear. We have come a ways with protection for the victim, but there is a long way to go before they all feel safe coming forward.

Doesn't really seem odd to me, as a woman I would probably need time to process the whole thing. I imagine my first impulse would be to go wash the effer off me. Then decide if you would be willing to open yourself up to the humiliation of others knowing you were assaulted and the intimate details that are sure to come out. I'm not even sure if I would have the guts to report a rape. I might just go lick my wounds in private and hope to get over it in time.

People only have the power to hurt you (mentally) if you let them. As far as reporting it goes, you would be surprised what you can do when you decide to do it. Hopefully, this will never happen to you. Some of us others have not been so lucky.:)

I wasn't raped but grew up with some sexual abuse. I know how shameful it feels and I didn't talk about it then and I really doubt that I would want to be exposed in the media in todays world. I really think I would just deal with it on my own among close friends.

$10 says the guy is staying at one of those missions in town that cater to transients skipping through town that have their own set of laws.

Dunnin, I was molested by a neighborhood teenager when I was seven years old. Everybody thought he was a saint. He told me that it was my fault and that my mother would blame ME if she found out. I didn't say a word. When he died, in another state and at the hands of a "burglar" which I doubt, I rejoiced. If, at my age, somebody rapes me, everybody is going to know about it because I'm going to scream azzhole at the top of my lungs. I'm plenty old enough to handle what anybody says. I'm not seven years old any more.
