Lesbian Gang Raped in Brutal Hate Crime
December 22, 2008 by James Hipps
According to the SF Gate:
Police are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of four men who allegedly kidnapped and gang-raped for nearly an hour a 28-year-old Richmond woman, who was left naked when they fled in her car.
The crime, which occurred on Dec. 13, is being investigated as a hate crime because of comments the suspects made about the victim’s sexual orientation, police said. The woman is openly lesbian and had a rainbow sticker on her license plate, a symbol of gay pride.
“The emotional impact has changed her life,” said Lt. Mark Gagan of the Richmond Police Department. “It is an absolute nightmare for her to have gone through. For 45 minutes, four strangers brutalized her.”
The ordeal began around 9:30 p.m. in the 1500 block of Visalia Avenue in Richmond’s Belding-Wood neighborhood, said Gagan.
The woman was sexually assaulted in that location after she got out of her car, police said. Then she was forced back into her vehicle after the suspects noticed someone approaching. She was driven seven blocks away to the 1300 block of Burbeck Avenue, where she was repeatedly sexually assaulted near an apartment complex, Gagan said.
I wonder if this is suffering enough for Mike Huckabee?
