(범죄) 집단 폭행
Criminal act. A high school student is gang raped(윤간하다) for hours as others watch and do nothing to stop it. It is tragic, but it is effective life that every once in a while, there is a crime committed that is horrific in and of itself그것 자체는. But confounded괘씸한…..uncompounded, I should say, by the fact that many people know the crime is being committed and do nothing to stop it. What is it that causes some people to stand by to not intercede중재하다? And are those people complicit공모 방조 in the crime? This time, the crime was a gang rape. The city was Richmond, California. Ryan Owens is there and has our closer look.
Police here have already arrested five young men and say at least five more, most of them teenagers, will soon be under arrest in the gang rape of a 15-year-old girl. “I just think it’s terrible. I really do. And where was security?” There was security at Richmond high school, but it was concentrated in the gym, site of the homecoming dance Saturday night, not in the dimly lit어둑한 뷸빛 corner of the campus where the assault allegedly took place.
Detectives say the young girl had been drinking and knew at least one of her attackers. But they say she had no way of knowing what would happen over the next two and a half hours. Detectives say she was raped, brutally beaten and robbed all while a crowd of up to 20 bystanders watched and often cheered. Not a single one of the witnesses called for help.
As disturbing as it sounds, police and psychologists say they’ve seen this sort of mob mentality before. “Fear of being the one person who refuses to go alone with what everyone else is doing. Fear of being the individual. And fear of the group then turning on you and victimizing you.”
The victim in this case is 15. So much to the frustration of police, all of those people who watched and did nothing cannot be charged. “I really wish there was a way we could hold people accountable for what I think is atrocious잔학한 behavior.” Tonight, four days after the rape, the young victim remains in the hospital while so many here are left to ask, why didn’t someone stop it?
