Police say two women, ages 32 and 24, were reportedly attacked and sexually assaulted by a group of 10 to 12 black male juveniles in Kosciuszko Park (Wilmington, DE) at about 6:54 p.m. Thursday. According to police, the suspects, who range in age from 12 to 17-years-old, remain on the loose.
Guess what race the two victims were? No, you’ll have to guess because the police are not releasing it. A call to the Wilmington DE Police Department asking what the race of the victims are got me this . . .
That information was not made public. And it won’t be made public until the department wants it to be public.
Police did leave a tip line for anyone having information about the incident. It happened in a small park, surrounded by homes, with visibility through the entire park from all of the homes. And amazingly, nobody saw anything. Police say they have no leads on who the perpetrators are and no witnesses to the gang rape.
I’m not a cop, but I’ve seen Columbo on TV. Only reason besides a public relations embarrassment that the race of the victims are kept under wraps might be due to the fact that no witnesses have yet to come forward. Any other idea why?
Going out to play isn’t what it used to be. Come on Wilmington. Give it up.
