A 94 Year Woman – Latest Victim of a Serial Rapist and Night Stalker

Night Stalker in South east LondonA sexual assault & rape offender, this night stalker is evidence of crimes against senior people. This suspect has committed more than 100 crimes in South-East London in 18 years; his criminal history puts the lives & safety of senior people at risk. He targets men & women between the ages 68 to 93, with an average age in the 80s. His prime intention is burglary accompanied with sexual assaults & rapes. Police says the man has raped four victims, one of whom suffered horrific injuries and almost died in surgery. In majority of crimes, he has targeted women but 10 men are also included in his criminal track record.

His recent break-in was at the home of a 94 year old woman. Police were notified of a burglary and a police officer for the Metropolitan Police said: "A burglary was reported in West Wycombe by a woman in her nineties and officers from Operation Minstead have been involved." A neighbor told the Daily Telegraph: "He must have targeted her.It is very shocking for all of us here. It's a terrible thing to have happened and he needs to be caught soon."

The suspect is believed to be aged between 35 and 45, between 5ft 10in and 6ft 2in tall, with a slim athletic build. Detectives already have a DNA profile of the night stalker. According to Scotland Yard, he started the criminal offenses in 1990 but stopped from October 1992 to 1996 and again between August 1999 and October 2002. Until now he has committed 100 offences against pensioners.

A £40,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to a conviction. I request my readers to look at the photograph carefully and help Scotland police arrest this criminal.

New York City criminal lawyer said “For a criminal to move freely after committing more than 100 crimes in 18 years is a serious issue. He is putting many more old people’s lives at risk.” Lawrenceville criminal lawyer said “I think Scotland Yard will be able to find this suspect soon. A lot of awareness has been created and senior people in South-East London are now very careful.”

Karachi – A Rape Hub

The cosmopolitan city of Karachi in Pakistan is known for its scenic beauty. It is on the eastern coast of the Arabian Sea. The sea level must be increasing with the tears of more than 100 women being raped everyday in Karachi. Can the scenic beauty hide the ugly reality of these sexual assaults?

Recent news articles show that on an average, more than 100 women are raped every 24 hours in this city but very few rape victims have the courage to register a case. One of the main constraints is the weak legal support structure. Dr Zulfiqar Siyal (APS) of WMLCO hospital Karachi said in his interview with Daily Times “Karachi is also short on hospitals where rape survivors can go through the entire medical examination. It isn’t just medical facilities, you won’t find a single women police officer (WPO) in any of the total 101 police stations of the city,”

The political system of the county needs to take immediate action against such sexual violence. If respect of women is lost, there is not much left. On the one side, the society promotes purdah system (physical segregation) for women safety, and on the other side we see these shameful acts against women. Burqa (purdah garment) can hide the wounds on their bodies but not their souls. Women are the losers on both the sides of the fence. Instead of increasing the number of hospitals for the rape victims’ treatments, it is urgent to reduce the crimes against women. Sexual offenders should be punished severely. If one sexual offender is punished, it will give confidence to other rape victims to raise their voice.

Sexual Offenders at Public Places

No one ever wants to come across sexual offenders but think about FEELING them at public places. Some women were sexually assaulted by Gary Rempel, a 24 year old man at Mill Woods mall. He forcefully grabbed and fondled them at Mill Woods Mall's food court. An employee of the food court complained about his unlawful behavior. When a police officer came to the rescue, the offender spat on the police officer. Gary Rempel was said to be in a drunken state and is now facing two charges - the first is sexual assault and the other is assault on a police officer.

There have been several incidents of assaults on women in malls and stores. Watch a recent video that shows how police is still searching for a man charged with a few sexual assault cases in the Malls and other public places in North Carolina.



Very recently I came across an article in Blue Collar Muse that talked about a man who photographed a 16 year old girl, without her knowledge or permission, in a retail store. The photograph was a soft porn, known as “up-skirt” shots. The offender was convicted of felony. But the court set him free after few months because the photograph was not in a place where she had a reasonable expectation of privacy.

There must have been times when all of us have faced problems of men touching, grabbing or brushing their body against us. Either we tried to ignore them or forget those embarrassing moments. I personally feel that to let go these offenders is not correct because they are always hunting for new victims. A strict legal action will not only help to put an end to these crimes but prevent offenders from thinking about sexual advancements. Let us be more careful while we are shopping and speak up when we find ourselves in similar embarrassing situations.

Sexual Assault Suspect around Wilmington

women police blogThis is a warning to women in Wilmington to avoid going out alone at night. A sexual assault suspect has made three women his victims. It is still under investigation if the second and third attacks were made by the same suspect. Look at his sketch carefully and try not to entertain a stranger with similar appearance or any stranger period. All the three victims have described the suspect to be a 5 feet 9 inches guy with dark complexion and resembles the sketch closely.

The first attack was on July 24th- a young woman was sexually assaulted and stabbed in a church courtyard. The police had released this sketch and warned women from going out alone at night. The second victim was RoxAnne, who stopped at a gas station and the suspect jumped into her car. Initially she thought she knew the guy but realized he was not the one. By the time she realized, it was too late. He forced her to take him to her apartment but she refused. He kept hitting her till she somehow managed to escape. The third victim was a woman who was jogging. Her assailant caught her from behind and attacked her. She got few injuries including, a bloody nose. Both of them feel that he is the same guy as the sketch.

We don’t have control over criminal actions but we should try to avoid situations that can get us in trouble. RoxAnne could have avoided the trouble if she had refused to drive the car with a stranger. I always recommend women to carry some self protection devices, especially when going out at night. I know it’s hard to carry self protection devices all the time but better to be safe than sorry.
