(San Francisco, California) Police in Richmond, northeast of San Francisco, are hunting four men accused of the brutal kidnapping and gang rape of a lesbian. Investigators have appealed to the public for help and have posted a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrests and conviction of the men.
Police said that the 28 year old victim was confronted by the four as she got out of her car on December 12. She was beaten, raped and robbed. When the attackers heard someone approaching they forced the women into her car and made her drive to a desolate area where the attack and rape continued.
Police said that during the ordeal the men made a series of homophobic remarks. Investigators said they believe the men realized the victim was a lesbian because of a rainbow sticker on her car.
If the men are caught they will face a hate crime charge on top of charges of rape, assault with a deadly weapon, robbery, carjacking and kidnapping.
The men escaped in the victim’s car. She was able to get help from a nearby resident who called police and paramedics.
The woman was treated in hospital and continues to receive psychological counseling.
First off the rape by it self is bad enough, however to call it a hate crime is going to be hard to do since they only way the DA will be able to prove it is if one of the guys confess that is why they rape her. In most cases it about power not if she is a lesbian or not.
