February 15, 2023Another Rape in Bay Ridge – First for 2023
A woman was raped (or reported a rape) on Sunday, February 12th at 11:00 pm.
Not one elected leader thought to mention that a woman was hurt in our area. Yes, you can mention that a crime has happened without giving personal details about the victim.
The location reported on Compstats is 3rd Avenue and Ovington. You can see this map at Compstats – here. Last week there was a hate crime in our neighborhood according to Compstats.
Let’s elect leaders who can speak about rape and crime….and what we can do as a community to stop it.
*Prayers for the woman in our community who was hurt.
