[Updated] Violent Capp Street Rapist on the Loose

Categorized: Crime

According to Reddit, there's a rapist out there:

One of my friends was VIOLENTLY ASSAULTED and RAPED by two men she did not know Sunday night at 19th and Capp. You wanna get graphic? I'm talking stitches in the cervix. With her permission, I've written to the two local mission blogs, asking them to publish this incident, but nothing.

Then today my friend saw two dudes walking down the street matching the descriptions of the attackers. One had scratches on his face that correspond with the attack. Two Hispanic men, between 20-25. One stocky, one lean, one with obvious scratches on his face.

Please help her out. Share this info. At the very least, maybe we can tell women in the area to be on the alert. Any other suggestions?

Note: Uptown was never contacted about this, but we will be sure update if we hear more.

Stay safe, everyone.

Update: Mission Local was able to interview the victim and get more information:

A 30-year old woman told Mission Local she was brutally raped near her house early Monday morning.

The woman was walking home from Bender’s Bar on South Van Ness Avenue shortly before 2 a.m. on Monday when she was attacked from behind by two men on the corner of 19th and Capp streets, she said. [...]

“I was heading home and two guys jumped on at me,” she told Mission Local. “Two Hispanic men, one was a tall guy, one was short, it was dark all I could remember happening very quickly.”

After attacking her from behind, the men dragged her to a nearby driveway on Capp Street where she was raped. She tried defending herself by punching and scratching one of the assailants.

“Both grabbed me a couple times, I hit one and they took me to the ground and there is nothing I can do after that.” The two men also took cash she had on her, she said. [Read on]

Did your friend call the cops when they saw the suspects? this is just upsetting. =( I hope they catch them soon.

Thanks for posting, this has been all over my facebook all day. I live only a few blocks from there, hope to get a sketch so I can keep an eye out for them.

Thank goodness Ed Lee is stepping up patrolling the park!

Whatever happened to the beat patrols we were supposed to have in the Mission? It seems like they made a big announcement, had a beat cop or two for about a month, and then we never saw them again.

I still see them though it does seem like they aren't around as much. Either way, at 2:00 am there wouldn't have been any beat cops there. The response to this shouldn't be more COPS it should be less RAPISTS. (Or maybe both, I don't really know).

If you were a criminal, wouldn't you want to move to a neighborhood where you can easily get away with your crimes?

I sometimes feel really safe while walking in the city, but this reminds me why I truly feel safe while navigating it by bike.

I hope they catch these ass holes. This was sad and eye opening to read.

You shouldn't feel safe just because you're on a bike. I've had friends who have been clothes-lined or had a stick thrown through their front spokes in attempts to steal the bike and rob them. I've had people try and run me into a parked car late at night on Bryant.

The fact of the matter is, you can be victimized no matter what you are doing. The best defense is to be aware and look after each other. Any time you are alone you are a target.

Your absolutely right about the need of being aware as a method of survival. I usually am naturally more aware by bike because I'm looking for cars and people I might run into,but yes consciously knowing danger could be hidden and waiting for you is important to think about.

Sorry for the improper use of "your" and any other grammar mistakes.
