A woman walking though the Overture Center parking ramp Tuesday morning protected herself from attack by kicking the perpetrator in the groin.

Around 10:30 a.m., the 28-year-old Stoughton woman was walking from her car to the stairwell on the second level of the parking ramp when she noticed two men hidden in the stairway.
According to Joel DeSpain, spokesperson for Madison Police Department, the woman did not pay much attention to the men.

The victim was then pulled to the ground by one perpetrator. To free herself, she kicked her foot into the perpetrator’s groin.

“Certainly she’s shaken up by this, and it’s got to be very scary and very alarming, but I don’t think she’s physically injured,” DeSpain said.

The victim ran to safety and dialed 911, and MPD was immediately dispatched to the site.

Two apartments robbed at gunpoint in San Luis Obispo

A scary night for one college student, after his door is kicked in and he is taken against his will.

At about 9:30 p.m. Thursday night, officers were called out to the 1200 block of Murray Street in San Luis Obispo.
"I was able to hear the cops breaking up the fight. I could hear them talking through their speaker but I didn't know it was a fight at the time," said Cal Poly student Phoebe Pynchon, who lives in the complex.
Investigators said it was like something out of a movie. Police officers were dispatched to the apartment complex, where they said a man kicked in the front door of a 19-year-old Cal Poly student's apartment.
The victim told police that once the suspect was inside, he showed off his gun and demanded the student's property. Investigators said when he wasn't satisfied, he took the student at gunpoint to a neighbor's apartment and kicked in that door and began to take things.
"That's a little scary. That's more extreme than anything I've heard of going on this street," said Pynchon.
Investigators said before officers arrived, the apartment manager fought off the suspect, who then ran away.

A quick thinking woman managed to talk a man out of raping her several times, Cedar City police said.
The 21-year-old woman went out on a first date with a fellow student at Southern Utah University on Sunday night, police said, ending up at his apartment.
"It was the first time they'd met and been together for any length of time," Cedar City police detective Mike Bleak said Wednesday. "They went back to his place and were watching a movie and he allegedly jumped her."

Police said the woman tried to fight him off, but was dragged into the bedroom.
"She tried to escape and he held a knife to her throat and told her if she'd escape, he'd kill her," Bleak said.
The woman told police the man attempted to rape her several times, but she fought him off and managed to talk him out of it. For the next several hours, Bleak said the woman was held captive in the apartment.

"He assaulted her several times, but she was able to talk him down several times and get him to calm down. Then he would attack her again," Bleak said.
About 7 a.m. Monday, police said the woman was able to persuade the man to let her go. She went home and told the family she was living with, who took her to the hospital and notified officers. Police later arrested Woonghee Cho, 21, and booked him into the Iron County Jail on investigation of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault and forcible sodomy. He remains in jail in lieu of $100,000 bail.

UWM Student Assaulted, Suspect Nabbed

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28728450/

A UW-Milwaukee student was sexually assaulted in her off-campus apartment on Saturday morning, according to Milwaukee police. The accused attacker was arrested within an hour of the assault.

MILWAUKEE - A University of Wisconsin Milwaukee student was sexually assaulted in her off-campus apartment on Saturday morning, according to Milwaukee police. The accused attacker was arrested within an hour of the assault. The alleged attack happened in an off-campus apartment on Oakland Ave. Police may have caught the suspect so quickly because the victim fought back. The attack happened just blocks from the UWM campus, according the police. On Sunday, TODAY'S TMJ4 reporter Michael George spoke with young women who go to school at UWM. "I'm not surprised, but by how close it is, actually, I'm very frightened. I was actually just on my way for a walk. But now I'm thinking of going back and doing an inside workout," said UWM sophomore Carly Zietlow.

A 19-year-old student told police she woke up to find a stranger in the bedroom of her apartment. She says he got in through an unlocked door, sexually assaulted her, and fled. Just as disturbing as how the crime happened is when it happened: 10:30 a.m. on Saturday morning. The victim did manage to injure her attacker, and that's how police caught the suspect. A Shorewood police officer spotted an injured man before the report of the assault had even come in. The suspect claimed he'd been in a fight, but when the officer questioned him, he said he didn't want to file a police report.

Fortunately, the officer did ask for his name and address. Minutes later, when the attacker's description went out, the officer realized she had just met him. Police arrested him at his home within an hour of the alleged assault. But many students were still worried about their own safety. "It's scary. Cause, I mean, most of the time you think stuff like that happens at night, and it's broad daylight now. So, you gotta make sure you're protected at all times," said sophomore Vanessa Medina. The suspect is a 28-year-old man with a criminal record. He has not been charged with a crime, but the district attorney's office is expected to look into the case on Monday.

PERUGIA, Italy - A judge ruled Friday that the trial of an American student accused of killing her British roommate would remain open to the media despite concerns about the indignity of releasing sensitive details of an alleged sexual attack.On the first day of the trial of Amanda Knox and her former Italian boyfriend, presiding Judge Giancarlo Massei rejected a request by the family of victim Meredith Kercher to have the proceedings closed to the public and the media.Massei barred cameras from filming, but ruled the trial would remain open to print journalists - although some sessions could be closed. The next session was scheduled for Feb. 6.The ruling was one of several technical issues ironed out at the start of the trial of Knox, 21, from Seattle, and Raffaele Sollecito, 24.Both are charged with murder and sexual violence in the slaying of Kercher, who was found stabbed to death Nov. 2, 2007 in the apartment she shared with Knox in Perugia, 115 miles (185 kilometers) north of Rome where both were exchange students.

Lack of women in OU police force may stop girls from reporting rape

http://www.thepost.ohiou.edu/Articles/Opinion/Editorial/2009/01/16/26785/

Lack of women in OU police force may stop girls from reporting rape
Published: Friday, January 16, 2009

The Ohio University Police Department has 26 officers, and only one of them is female — meaning women make up about 4 percent of the force. About 51 percent of OU’s Athens campus student body was female during Fall Quarter 2007. In contrast, women make up 11 percent of the police force at Miami University, 20 percent at the University of Toledo and 29 percent at Kent State University.
OUPD has to change.

This is not merely a matter of equal representation or affirmative action or something else warm and fuzzy and politically correct. This is about having officers in place that may better be able to handle sexual assault cases. In 2005, according to the 2008 Clery Report, 17 forcible sexual assaults were reported among OU students. In 2006, four were reported. In 2007, that number was 12. The results are not yet in for 2008, but the numbers are likely similar — and study after study has shown that across America, reported sexual assaults are a mere fraction of what actually takes place.

How many were never reported at OU because a student was uncomfortable and ashamed of discussing it with a male officer, we can never know. But it is not just speculating to assume that a young woman who has undergone a horrific, traumatizing rape might recoil from recounting the story to a man. This isn’t sexism: This is about creating an environment in which rape victims feel comfortable to come forward.

Student Fights Off Intruder

http://www.nbc26.com/Global/story.asp?S=9655050

A criminal justice student stops an alleged armed burglary in his own home. Patrick Houlihan is from New London and was home on Christmas break when he says a man broke into his home. According to a report, Timothy Hill held him and his three friends hostage by gun point.
Patrick says the man entered the house through an open garage, and secured two guns from a safe. Patrick and five others friends were hanging out in the recreation room when the man allegedly broke in. "He told us he was actually downstairs in that room after he had the guns, he said he watched us for about an hour, waiting for people to leave," Houlihan said.
Patrick says two of his friends went out to get something in the car, and when they didn't return, Patrick went looking. That's when he found his two friends face down on the pavement of his driveway, with a gun pointed at them. "He assured us the whole time the guns were loaded, and I will blow your brains out right now," said Houlihan.

Patrick is a second year criminal justice student at UW-Platteville. He decided to pursue the law enforcement degree because of his involvement with the New London Police Explorers during his high school years. And he says these skills helped him during this hostage situation.
"Once I was on the ground, he had the control point of him having the gun, but the whole conversation for the most part I was controlling him, I was find out exactly what he was doing, exactly what was going on," said Houlihan said.

19 year old Timothy Hill has been charged with six felonies in connection to the crime.

College Student Fights Off Intruders Armed with Toy Gun

http://www.firstcoastnews.com/news/local/news-article.aspx?storyid=128195&catid=3

JACKSONVILLE, FL -- Police are looking for three men who broke into a college student's apartment, fought with him, and ran off leaving a toy gun behind.
The Jacksonville Sheriff's Office says the incident happened Friday at an apartment complex in the 1300 block of North Don Quixote Circle, a block south of Beach Boulevard and San Pablo Road.
A 20-year-old University of North Florida student told police three men knocked on his door around 11:30 p.m. He says he opened the door and the guys told him they had the wrong apartment.
The man says about 20 minutes later the same three men came back to his apartment. He says one of the men forced the door open, and pulled out a gun.
The victim says he hit the gun as hard as he could, then got into a fight with the suspect. At this time the other two suspects barged in and tried to take an X-Box 360 and laptop computer.
The student tells police he fought with all three men. He says one of the suspects dropped the gun, and picked up the victim's BB gun before taking off.
After the suspects left, the victim examined the gun they'd left, and realized it was a fake.
Police questioned the victim's two roommates, who were home at the time of the incident. They told police they heard a scuffle, but it happened so quickly that they came out and found the suspects had gone.

STAUNTON — A man accused of sexually assaulting a Blue Ridge Community College student inside a car on campus was found guilty today of sexual battery in Augusta County General District Court and sentenced to 30 days in jail, but 19-year-old Coltan J. Strong will remain free while he appeals the conviction.
OAS_AD('ArticleFlex_1');

Strong, of Goshen, was arrested in October on allegations he forced an 18-year-old woman into a car on Sept. 24 and repeatedly fondled her as she struggled to break free.
The victim testified that she and Strong were "strictly friends." He became agitated upon seeing a text from her boyfriend, snatching her phone and taking her car keys between classes at the college.

She said Strong grabbed her by the hood of her sweatshirt and pulled her into the parking lot, forcing her inside her car. "I figured he was just playing," the woman testified.
With Strong driving, she said they went to a nearby gas station and then back to a school parking lot. As she tried to exit the car, she said Strong grabbed her clothing and kept her in the vehicle, then drove to a second parking lot on campus.

The woman said Strong pulled her arms behind a front seat and, holding them with one hand, fondled her as she struggled.
"I couldn't get free," she said. "Finally, he got on top of me."
The woman said she bit Strong's lip and got out of the car. She said Strong followed her to a class they shared. After class, the woman said she went home and told her parents of the incident. Authorities were then notified, she said.

He grabbed her arm and tried to get her to follow him into the parking lot.

"He grabbed her by the arm again and she pulled away from him. He actually grabbed her up into a bear hug and he touched her inappropriately, said some inappropriate things to her. She was able to push him off and he ultimately left," said FAU police chief, Charles Lowe.
About an hour or so after that, police say a female staff member was approached while she was outside the library. The man also grabbed her, touched her inappropriately and said inappropriate things.The victim was able to push him off as a nearby friend walked up and the suspect took off.
