This “human” was probably a junior citizen up from newark and probably released from Trenton in the past 60 days would be my guess.
Meanwhile, I grew up about 2 miles from that street, 50 years ago. My dad was a cop in an adjoining town. Had this been his mother, my mother or my sister and he caught the bastard, there would not be enough ink to print the criminal complaint my dad would be charged with. He had zero tolerance for assaults on women and anyone dumb enough to bother a lady in his family would send him off the charts. One of his last remarks to me before he died was if anyone hurt any of the women in our house, it was up to me to take care of it because don’t count on the law to make it right because it won’t happen.
Did he rape her? They don’t say so, but the possibility is suggested by her implied fear that he was about to. But then, “he threw her down the stairs.” Perhaps he was exercising restraint.
