The case for a State College man charged with rape and attempted murder was dealt a blow Tuesday when a judge denied a motion to suppress evidence collected after what the defense called an "illegal arrest."
Michael A. Kuhn, 31, was arrested in August 2007 after police say a woman reported a man loitering outside her 612 Apple Alley apartment and staring in her window. Following that arrest, police charged Kuhn in connection with the rape of a Penn State graduate student.

COLFAX, Wash. —
The pornographic film actor known as Jack Venice was given a life sentence for raping a woman at a Washington State University sorority.
Under the sentence he received Friday in Whitman County Superior Court, the 26-year-old native of Houston, Christopher Jack Reid, will be eligible for parole in nine years.
Reid was convicted in October of second-degree rape and three burglary counts.
KRPL reports Reid told the court he is sorry for what happened to the victim but maintains his innocence. His lawyer plans an appeal.
The victim told the court she is afraid of being attacked again and sleeps with the lights on.
Prosecutors say Reid and a WSU student got drunk and broke into several sororities in search of women to co-star in sex videos.

The women came to his poker room near the Southern Methodist University campus – sometimes with their boyfriends, sometimes by themselves.
Many of them found the atmosphere at his illicit poker games enticing, said James McDaniel, a self-described professional poker player known for hosting Texas Hold 'Em games four nights a week.
Authorities say Mr. McDaniel preyed on at least four of these women, maybe many more, offering them free drugs and alcohol. But , prosecutors say he tricked the women with ground-up depressants instead of lines of cocaine, or slipped the date-rape drug GHB into their drinks.
When they woke up, they believed they had been raped.

Victim comes forward in alleged sexual assault at Goucher

A Goucher College student who allegedly was sexually assaulted has come forward but is not cooperating with Baltimore County police, police said.

The student came forward Tuesday, days after College President Sanford Ungar sent an e-mail to the school's nearly 2,400 students, encouraging victims to reach out for support and help prevent more assaults, said Kristen Keener, a spokeswoman for the college. The e-mail reported that another student -- not a victim -- had told campus security of three alleged sexual assaults that had taken place on and off campus throughout the semester.
"Goucher is working in tandem with the Baltimore County Police Department, and we aren't able to share much more than that to ensure that their investigation isn't compromised," Keener wrote in an e-mail. Police spokesman Bill Toohey said Friday that the agency is investigating a number of calls generated by media reports of Ungar's e-mail.

"A young lady did come forward but didn't want to follow up, so there was nothing else we could do," he said. Toohey declined to say if police are close to making an arrest, saying it is standard to withhold that type of information until an arrest is made.

The school had identified three possible suspects, two students and a former student, whose names had not been released. According to Ungar's Dec. 12 e-mail, date-rape drugs were suspected to have been used in the incidents, and the victims of the alleged assaults knew their attackers.

Police: 44th and Spruce home invasion and sex assault similar to Oct. Center City crimes

http://media.www.dailypennsylvanian.com/media/storage/paper882/news/2008/12/09/News/Police.44th.And.Spruce.Home.Invasion.And.Sex.Assault.Similar.To.Oct.Center.City-3580770.shtml

Updated Dec. 19, 5:30 p.m.Two Penn students were victims of an armed home invasion and sexual assault Friday night.Philadelphia police say that the incident is similar to two others that occurred in Center City in October and believe the same person is responsible for all three attacks.

At about 3 p.m. Friday, a 22-year-old Penn student was leaving her apartment on an upper floor of an apartment building located on the 4400 block of Spruce Street. An unidentified male approached her in the hallway and forced her back into her apartment at knifepoint, according to Capt. John Darby of the Philadelphia Police Special Victims Unit.Inside, he produced a handgun and robbed her of her iPod, cell phone, laptop and cash. He then bound, blindfolded and gagged her, Darby said.The woman was tied for more than an hour, when her roommate, a 24-year-old Penn student, arrived.

She was robbed of similar items and then sexually assaulted several times by the perpetrator over the course of several hours. Darby said the perpetrator went to great lengths to hide his identity - he wore gloves and a ski mask and also forced his victim to take a shower to try to eliminate any evidence left as a result of the assault.

The women called the police when the man left the apartment sometime after 7 p.m. They were taken to the hospital but did not suffer critical injuries, Vice President for Public Safety Maureen Rush said.It is unclear how the man, whom the women did not know, entered the apartment.

The man was armed with a gun and a knife. He is described as a black male in his mid- to late-20s, about 6 foot tall with short black hair and having an average build and goatee. He is said to be wearing black jacket with a zipper down the front over a tan shirt and blue jeans with Timberland boots. He is possibly carrying a blue bookbag and blue umbrella.Darby said that this incident bears similarities between two incidents that occurred in Center City this fall.

The next day, more than a dozen Lawrence officers and detectives searched grassy areas along the Kansas Highway 10 bypass and the area of 27th Street and Wakarusa Drive in southwest Lawrence looking for evidence regarding the latest rape.
“We do have strong information to believe that this attack is related to the other four attacks in the city,” said police Sgt. Bill Cory. “We take these crimes very seriously.”

No indictments in alleged Holy Cross sex assault

WORCESTER— Four men accused of sexually assaulting a College of the Holy Cross student in her dorm room will not be indicted, according to the Worcester district attorney’s office. A Worcester grand jury returned “complete no bill” decisions on Edward K. Kingori, Bizmark Obeng-Mensah, Alie Samura and Yeverne R. Sarpee on one count of sexual assault for each man, according to a list of cases reported out yesterday.

A no bill results when there is insufficient evidence for an indictment or when a charge is included in another indictment. A complete no bill means that all of the allegations against an individual were returned as no bills.

Mr. Kingori, 21, of 63 Ledgecrest Drive; Mr. Obeng-Mensah, 21, of 141 Austin St., Apt. 2; Mr. Sarpee, 18, of 98 Austin St.; and Mr. Samura, 19, of 38 Cedar St., were arrested in October. The alleged assault occurred Oct. 18.

According to police, the Holy Cross student met three of the defendants at an on-campus dance and exchanged phone numbers with one of them. Sometime around 3 a.m., the man called her and showed up at her dorm with two other men. Authorities said she let them into her room, where she alleged the sexual assaults occurred.

Investigation of sexual assaults of Goucher students not yet a police matter

College president appeals for victims to come forward
By Bryan P. Searsbsears@patuxent.com
Posted 12/15/08
The investigations of three possible incidents of sexual assaults of students at Goucher College are stymied as officials wait for victims or witnesses to come forward.Officials at the private school in Towson learned last week of three possible incidents of what they called “non-stranger sexual assaults,” possibly involving so-called date-rape drugs. The officials know the names of alleged victims but say they cannot interview the purported vicitms because of privacy concerns.“It’s a tricky situation,” said Kristen Keener, a Goucher College spokeswoman.“We can’t go to anybody who is an alleged victim because it is their prerogative” to come to authorities, Keener said. “The college would be very glad to get (information about the incidents) and get these victims any kind of counseling they need.”A student at the college reported to college public safety officials last week the alleged incidents that may have involved a date-rape drug, Keener said.The student did not have first-hand knowledge of the incidents but had heard about them, Keener said.It is not known when the incidents occurred because college officials learned about them third-hand. Keener said the belief is they happened recently.Goucher President Sanford Unger sent nearly 1,500 undergraduate students an e-mail alert Dec. 12 containing an appeal to students who were either victims or know something about the alleged incidents to come forward.“The investigation cannot move forward without that information,” said Keener, adding that the investigation was so being handled so far by the college, and not Baltimore County police.“It will have to remain so until someone comes forward,” she said.A county police spokesman, Cpl. Mike Hill, confirmed that his agency is not yet investigating the alleged incidents.“This is all third-hand information at this point,” Hill said. “We have not been contacted whatsoever; we have no investigations and no victims.”Keener said that, despite a lack of direct information, the college is taking the reports seriously and has no reason to believe they are a hoax.“Regardless, the college will always err on the side of student safety,” she said.

Muslim College Student Attacked, Threatened

http://www.doodhpatti.com/news/NewsDetails.aspx?newsId=647

October 11, 2008
HATE CRIME: Muslim college student attacked, threatened
[Update: The police and college have since accused the student, Safia Jilani, of making up the story. See our post.]
An un-named female Muslim student was attacked on the campus of Elmhurst College, outside Chicago. She had previously been harassed after participating in a rally calling for the closure of Guantanamo Bay military prison. The story is getting plenty of coverage in the local media (and Huffington Post) and has been circulated by national Muslim organizations. From the Chicago Sun-Times:
The 19-year-old sophomore told police a masked, male attacker struck her in the head with a handgun about 8:30 p.m. Thursday after she entered a restroom in the school's Schaible Science Center. She suffered a concussion.
Threatening graffiti -- "Kill the Muslims" -- was written on a mirror in the restroom, students and police said.
Earlier Thursday, the victim had spoken at a demonstration called to denounce the anti-Islamic slurs and swastika she had discovered on Oct. 2 in her locker, school officials and students said. Among the slurs was the phrase "Die Muslims."
Both cases are being investigated as hate crimes, Elmhurst College spokesman Charley Henderson said.
More from a local ABC affiliate:
"She received a concussion, a bruise on her side, and she passed out," said Soofia Ahmed, a good friend of the victim. They are both Muslim, both born and raised in the Chicago area.
The college believes the incident may have been a hate crime.
"We're leaning that direction, yes, we are. Since this morning, a crime alert has been posted that does say this is reported as a hate crime," said Charles Henderson, Elmhurst College spokesman.
The same student who was attacked Thursday night discovered threatening graffiti in her locker just eight days ago. The words "Die Muslims, rid us of your filth" were scrawled in magic marker on her locker along with a swastika. It is front page news in the college newspaper and the school started an investigation.
According to the Chicago Tribune, the college is offering security escorts to Muslim students.
The woman's father said Friday that she said the gunman asked her: " 'Now who is going to protect you?' " He said his daughter replied: " 'God will protect me. . . . You can kill me, but you cannot take my soul.' "Students have reported tensions on campus since students held a Sept. 18 rally to protest the Guantanamo Bay prison camp, and several witnesses reported that three female Muslim students, including the woman who reported the attack, were harassed and verbally threatened.

Rapist Strikes Again Near Georgetown University

Georgetown Students Speak Out After Attack on Campus
Georgetown Student Assaulted on Campus

-->
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Police say a man who has been raping and sexually assaulting women near Georgetown University has struck again, and those living in the area are on alert.
Investigators say the suspect has struck at least four times this year, assaulting women in their own homes. News of an attack over the weekend at a home on R Street has many Georgetown students on edge.
If you ask Georgetown students about a man sexually assaulting women in the neighborhood, they know exactly who you're talking about. The university alerted its students to an assault last Friday in the 3700 block of R Street.
During the overnight hours, police say a man walked into a woman's bedroom and put his arm around her, then left the apartment a moment later.
But police say in some cases, the man isn't just cuddling. Back in June on the 2400 block of Tunlaw Street, police reports show a woman woke up to a man kissing her on the neck and trying to rape her. When she asked what he was doing, the suspect took off.
Police say the mode of operation has been similar in each case.
"A lot of times, he's been able to get in through an unlocked door or an unlocked window," said Lt. Pamela Burkett-Jones of the D.C. Police Department. "We've asked citizens to make sure their doors are locked."
Kirsten Oftedahl and her roommate, Kimberly, live on Tunlaw Street where the attack in June took place.
"A little nerve-racking and scared about walking around alone at night, especially coming home by myself," said Oftedahl.
The two Georgetown students even stepped up security in their home, adding a lock to their front door and blinds to their back door so no one can see in.
"We don't want them to know when we're here and when we're not," said Oftedahl.
Police say the suspect has attacked women between 3 and 4 a.m. in the area, and he's hit twice on R Street. Kit Niesen told FOX 5 her friend endured a similar attack in her home last spring.
"She's really freaked out," said Niesen. "She has a lock on her door, and she's trying to keep her roommates aware even on nights when they're going out."
Police are asking students to keep their doors and windows locked at night, and to take the campus shuttle service or safe ride escorts. If you see anything suspicious in the area, you're asked to call police.

Student Reports Rape, Is Threatened By Administrator

http://studentactivism.net/2008/04/25/student-reports-rape-is-threatened-by-administrator/?referer=sphere_related_content/

Two years ago an undergrad at the University of Portland, a private Catholic college, asked a male friend to walk her back to her dorm after a party. He claims they had consensual sex when they got there. She says he raped her.

Some time later, she reported the incident to the campus police, but the university brought no charges against the alleged assailant. When she criticized them and asked why no action had been taken, she received a letter from the university’s judicial coordinator that read as follows:
Based upon my findings in my investigation, I am unable to determine if a sexual assault occurred. I have reason to believe that intercourse occurred, but both parties admit to drinking and therefore, consent—or lack of consent—is difficult to determine. Given these facts, there are possible violations for which you could be charged.

Black College Student Attacked by Jewish Gang in Crown Heights (BK). Grand Jury Probing Incident. Cops: Hasidic community taking page from rappers' “No Snitch” Code.
April 24, 2008 by editor (View Source)
(nydn) The Brooklyn district attorney will seat an investigative grand jury to probe the beating of an unarmed black man by two Jewish men in Crown Heights, the Daily News has learned. The victim - a 20-year-old college student and the son of a cop - has met with prosecutor Charles Hynes about the April14 attack in a neighborhood with a long history of racial tension. "He's an excellent young man, and I met with him personally to assure him that I would do everything in my power to bring to justice those who humiliated him," Hynes said Wednesday. Daily News columnist Errol Louis revealed details of the troubling attack in Wednesday's editions, citing fears of unrest if arrests are not made soon. Police sources say their investigation has been slowed by the refusal of neighborhood Hasidic residents to cooperate with authorities. "Right now, the Hasidic community is taking a page from the rappers' 'don't snitch' campaign," said a police source. The investigative grand jury can subpoena witnesses and compel them to testify. Andrew Charles, a sophomore at Kingsbridge Community College, was walking along Albany Ave. when a white attacker on a bicycle sprayed him with Mace, police sources said. A GMC Envoy then pulled up, with a second man emerging from the vehicle to smash Charles in the back and arm with a nightstick, police said. An adviser to the Charles family said both the attackers were wearing yarmulkes. Charles was treated at Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center and released. (BBN: In the Daily News print edition, the article included a quote from an unnamed police source who said: “Right now, the Hasidic community is taking a page from the rappers’ “don’t snitch” campaign.)

he college student attacked during a fight in a Fells Point bar tells her side of the story, hours after she’s released from the hospital.
Earica Flood doesn’t understand why she was attacked and why no one called an ambulance. Her father wants quick action after a fight that left his daughter with serious injuries.
It was somewhere around midnight when Earica Flood and some friends took the dance floor at Cheerleaders on Broadway.
Gigi Barnett reports an incidental brush with another woman escalated into mayhem.
“When a girl said that I bumped into her, I turned around and said, `I’m sorry, excuse me.’” That’s when everything started. She started throwing up signs; they were from the west side,” Flood said.
After almost a week in the hospital, Earica is back home with her parents. She’s recovering from a concussion, broken nose and lacerated liver. The injuries were inflicted by five or six women whose kicks and stomps were partially caught on security cameras.
“My friends said I lost my balance. I slipped and fell. People were kicking me in my side, in my face, pulling my hair out,” Flood said.
Club management says Flood refused medical treatment but she tells Eyewitness News that’s not the case at all.
“I wasn’t really offered anything other than ice and paper towels,” she said.
Earica’s father is glad to have her home but that doesn’t ease his anger.
“I’m still angry. I’m anticipating someone getting caught for this. It can’t happen fast enough,” Earl Flood said.
Doctors are telling Earica to take a month off to fully recover before going back to school, but she’s learned a costly lesson.
“Things do happen even if you don’t provoke anyone. Things can happen. It really is as serious as people say it is out there,” she said.
So far, police have not made an arrest in this case.
Earica must wait a while before learning from her doctors whether she’ll need plastic surgery.
