Gang-Rape of Woman, Forcing Son to Participate

For once, I am speechless.

Florida Police Arrest Two Teens in Gang-Rape of Woman, Forcing Son to Participate
Friday, July 06, 2007

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. Two teenagers were accused of gang raping a woman and forcing her 12-year-old son to join in the attack, then beating him and pouring cleaning solution into his eyes.

Authorities allege Avion Lawson, 14, and Nathan Walker, 16, were among a group of about 10 masked suspects who forced their way into the woman's apartment in a crime-ridden housing project the night of June 18.

The two were being held without bail Friday on suspicion of armed sexual battery by multiple perpetrators, sexual performance by a child, armed home invasion and aggravated battery. Both were arrested this week, but formal charges had not been filed.

"Any rape case is horrible but this takes it to another level, something you can't think of even in your worst dreams," police spokesman Ted White said.

According to the police report, a man knocked on the woman's door at about 9 p.m. and told her he had a flat tire. The mother and son, whom police have not identified, went outside and were ambushed by a group of gun-wielding suspects.

The victims told police they were forced back into their home and beaten and sexually assaulted. According to authorities, the men raped, sodomized and beat the woman, then forced her son to participate in the assault at gunpoint, making him have sex with his mother in front of them.

The boy was then beaten and had numerous household cleaning liquids poured into his eyes, according to the police report.

The suspects also stole a few hundred dollars worth of cash and jewelry, White said.

White said more arrests were pending, but he would not say if authorities had identified additional suspects. The teens in custody were not cooperating, but Lawson confessed to taking part in the attack, White said. Walker has denied involvement, White said.

DNA evidence in a condom found in the victims' home linked Lawson to the crime, police said. Investigators also say they found a palm print belonging to Walker at the scene.

The victims did not suffer life-threatening injuries and have been released from the hospital, White said.

"They're going through the county victim services for counseling," he said.

Lawson lived in Dunbar Village, the hardscrabble project where the attack occurred. Walker was apparently visiting a friend there, White said.

Authorities believe the suspects all knew each other from the neighborhood, but they don't think they knew the victims directly.

Prosecutors have 21 days from the time a suspect is arrested to formally file charges. Lawson was arrested Tuesday. Walker was arrested Thursday.

A call to Lawson's public defender was not immediately returned. It was not known if Walker has an attorney.

I would give these people life in prison, at a hard labor camp. This is just plain evil. I am truly sick to my stomach.

I'm just totally offended, angry and totally speechless just by reading this article. What is the world coming into? How can this even happen in the first place? This is a totally immoral act and i hope the criminals will be put into jail for an extremely long period of time as their actions just made me sick to the stomach.

Robbery alone is an act of sin, and this group here forced a TWELVE year old child to have sex with his mother? I severely condemn their actions and think they seriously need some counselling and psychology treatments.

But this just highlight another point that should be taken into consideration - that woman should be more careful when there's no one else/men in the house to protect them or whatsoever. Look at what happened to this kind hearted lady who just wanted to offer some help! In any case, i think anyone should ensure the intentions of someone who knocked on your house door before even opening the door to answer to that person or even let him in. I think they can probably get their neighbours across the street to check if there's anyone else outside their house waiting to attack them or what. I mean i'm not asking everyone to be paranoid when anyone knock on your door, but it's better to be safe than sorry, right?

I pray for the mother and son that they will recover soon from this horrible ordeal and that situations like this will NEVER happen again!

Your right. In fact, if more criminals would announce their intentions, I believe crime might be reduced considerably.

I am very careful when home alone when someone comes to the door. I never open the door inless I know who it is. I had the police come to my house once and I dont have a peek hole to see who is actually there. So I called our non emergency phone number and confirmed who was at the door. It was the police and it turns out they had the wrong address. What happeend to this women was a bit different tho, two teenagers came to her door looking for help, not much older then her own son. No one would think that on the other side fo the door there would be someone wanted to attack her in this manner. Its hard to say what would have been the best thing to have done, I dont have kids. I personally wouldnt have opened the door. I would have offered to call a tow truck or offered to call their parents. But again it wasnt me behind the door. Just remembr to always be cautious.

Har har ExIsle_be_back, it's so funny and i can't stop laughing, right.

You do know very well what i mean and while most of your posts are funny most of the time, i think you should come to a more serious tone when it comes to issues like this. But whatever, i do not have control over what you decide to post or not.

I understand what Popo is saying, however I disagree to an extent. I find that saying the mother should be more careful when opening the door is shifting the blame to the victim. It was not late at night, 9pm, and the boys that attacked them were her sons age. I have a 12 year old brother and he is not allowed outside after 8pm unless he is with an adult. If a 12 year old was at my door at 9pm I would be inclined to answer it because there must be a reason for a teenager to be knocking on my door at night, alone.

But at the same time, I suppose, it does say it was in a crime-ridden area. I live in Toronto and avoid the Jane and Finch areas at all times. I live in a nice area off the Danforth in a very secure building so I'm not overly concerned, but I suppose one should never let their guard down

Hey Popo. I understand what you're saying, but if we do what you're saying we'd be a bunch of paranoids afraid of our own shadows. I believe there is a little more crime here, in the U.S., as opposed to your neck of the woods. Everyday, on the news, we hear about people getting carjacked, robbed, beaten, kidnapped and murdered. Should we cower in our homes and not venture outside in fear of something that possibly could happen? I've been inside a store moments after it was robbed. Does that mean I should have called ahead and see if the coast is clear? No. I don't think so. You can't be prepared for everything that life throws at you and hindsight is alway 20/20.

Yeah. It's a terrible thing that happened, but I don't think the victims were responsible in any way. The lady could have asked who was there and if she didn't answer they may have broken down the door anyways. Heck. We could play "what if" all day and play every scenario in the book and still come up with the same result. (Or worse.) Unfortunately, it's the other idiots out there that are the problem, and if we want this type of thing to go away, we need stricter laws enforced. It's not going to go away if we just keep slapping their wrists and telling them no.

There. Is that tone serious enough for you Popo?

I wasn't trying to say the victim was at fault in anyway. I was just trying to make a point that one should always be wary and be on guard.

Yes, that's very serious. Hopefully all your posts will be like this in future.

Not a chance, dude. I post here to bring some levity to this place and escape from the drudgery of life in general. I have to be serious enough when I'm at work or at home. You'll see what I mean in a few years.
