Cytherea
There’s
some interesting banter around the net about “feminists ignoring the brutal rape
of a former porn star (Cytherea) during a violent home invasion at her Las
Vegas home” (http://www.returnofkings.com/57034/why-are-feminists-ignoring-the-violent-gang-rape-of-porn-star-cytherea);
“Police were called about 10 p.m. Jan. 19 to
a home in the 9200 block of Weeping Hollow Avenue, south of the intersection of
Blue Diamond Road and El Capitan Way, to investigate a report of a home
invasion, robbery and sexual assault.”
Two children and
three adults were inside the house, according to reports. Police say they were
robbed, held at gunpoint, and Cytherea was raped, after a gang of attackers
kicked in the door to the home.
Three suspects,
Qumaire Rainey, 18; Edward London, 17; and Casey Franks, 16, were arrested by Metro
detectives, who were working with the North Las Vegas Police Department on a
related case.
Police Lieutenant
David McGrath investigated what he called a ‘rare case’, in which a gang of
teens kicked in the door of a random home.
“This family
didn’t know these individuals,” McGrath told KLAS.
All three
suspects face numerous felony charges for the Martin Luther King Day attack,
and will be arraigned in Las Vegas Justice Court this morning.
Police have
acknowledged that the suspects have criminal histories and knew each other from
detention.
HOWEVER, I think that banter overlooks a much bigger issue – the national
media has completely overlooked this crime...while, at the SAME time having
heaped unwarranted attention and unverified agreement with such obvious HOAXES
as the Duke lacrosse Rape hoax, the recent UVA rape hoax and the dubious claims
of Columbia Coed Emma Sulkowicz.
This
media obsession with certain kinds of rapes (those allegedly committed by straight
white males, Cytherea’s attackers were all black) exists at a time when female rape
rates are at their lowest level in decades, domestic violence is at its lowest
rate ever, in short, NOTHING about this obsession makes any sense.
