Four Teens Rape Another Teen at NYC Playground

January 12, 2016 By HKearl

Trigger Warning – Rape.

Via CNN:

“Four teens who forced a father to leave his daughter so they could take turns raping her at a park have been arrested, New York police say — but a fifth suspect is still at large.

The 18-year-old woman was with her father at the Osborn Playground in Brooklyn around 9 p.m. Thursday when they were approached by five males, the New York Police Department said.

One of the men pulled a gun on the father and daughter and demanded the father leave the area, police said.

Each of the five assailants then raped the teenager, authorities said….

On Sunday night, authorities said four suspects — ages 14, 15, 15 and 17 — were in custody, and charges were pending. Two of the teens turned themselves in, and the other two were apprehended, New York police said.”

So upsetting and terrible. Our thoughts are with the young woman and her family.

“I definitely didn’t like it at all.”

December 31, 2015 By Contributor

I’m 13 years old and yesterday at night I went grocery shopping with my dad. My dad had forgotten something, so I went ahead. While I waited for him, a car passed by and the guy in the passenger seat said, “Hey baby girl.” The guy stayed there for like about 30 seconds just checking me out. I didn’t say anything because this guy was like more than 20 years old . I felt weird. Idk. I definitely didn’t like it at all.
