Sketch of suspect
Perhaps it was fear or indifference or no one figured out what was going on.
Whatever the case, a 17-year-old sexual assault victim wondered Friday why motorists who saw her struggling with her attacker didn’t stop to help, George Hunter of The Detroit News reports. She spoke out at a Crime Stoppers of Michigan press conference held in a vacant lot near the site of the attack.
Hunter writes that the teen was headed to school, waiting fora bus at 7 Mile Road, east of I-75 at about 6:30 a.m. Oct. 7, when a man approached and said he had a gun.
“I thought I was about to get robbed,” said the teen, who is pregnant, the News reports “He put me in a chokehold. People were driving right by. I know they seen what was happening, but nobody stopped to help.”
The man dragged hear into a nearby building and raped her.
“I told him I was three months pregnant,” said the teen, according to the News. “But that didn’t stop him.”
Her mother said: "I want this man to be caught. He raped my baby. It’s too much."
