The police are investigating yet another report of such an incident, allegedly occurring last Saturday at about 4am.

The victim, an adult woman, was reportedly sexually violated by a masked man. The report has been referred to the Special Victims Unit, and the police are actively looking into the matter.

Inspector Frankie Thomas has emphasized the gravity of any sexual offense committed against women and has urged women, especially those living alone, to take necessary precautions to protect themselves and secure their homes.

The police are appealing to the public for any information regarding these ongoing investigations and are committed to addressing such offenses with the seriousness they warrant.

    Time to start castrations of rapists, or actually burning the culprits penises if DNAs proves their guilt. Women should not be violated regardless of time of day/night or how skimpily they are dressed. Fathers, brothers and husbands of the women must ban together to hunt down, capture and deliver these sickos to the police. After they are found guilty and jailed, the fellow prisoners who have daughters, sisters and mothers should do the right thing…teach the culprits a lesson they will never forget.
