Five fiends took turns raping a terrified teenage girl in a Brooklyn playground Thursday evening, police said on Saturday.
The 18-year-old and her dad were inside Osborn Playground, near Hegeman Avenue and Osborn Street in Brownsville, at 9:10 p.m. when the perverts, all strangers, accosted them.
One had a gun and pointed it at the pair, demanding that the father leave.
The father ran out of the park, desperately looking for help.
When he left, each of the men, who ranged in age from 20 to 30, raped his daughter, cops said.
By then the father had encountered two cops, who accompanied him back to the park.
When the perverts saw the officers, they fled.
The teen was taken to Kings County Hospital, where she was treated and released.

If a wheelchair bound man sees his daughter fall into the water and begin to drown, would it be best for him to stay and watch her drown, roll into the water and drown with her, or go try to find someone who is equipped to rescue her?
Same thing applies here. He was unarmed and totally helpless to rescue her against 5 armed thugs, so he did the only thing he could do to try to rescue her...go and get help.
Do we ever get tired of hiding in our homes so we can pretend all cultures are equal?
Might be time to clean out the park...
He was in NYC where only criminals and cops are allowed to carry guns.
Did you even read the story? The thugs TOLD him to leave. It was a dumb move on their part and he took advantage of it by going to get help.
In a perfect world, yes. But this is New York City. I'll take that bet.
“I have a daughter. I’d die for her. She would never witness me retreating when she’s in danger. . . . Ever.”
Overwhelming violence in the attack has a value all its own. The USMC and Texas Rangers revolved around this very concept.
“An 18 year old is a “little girl”?”
If it’s your daughter,,,yeah.
Four suspects from group accused of gang-raping woman, 18, at Brooklyn park in police custody
Four of the five fiends - all teens - accused of gang-raping an 18-year-old woman in a Brooklyn park were in police custody Sunday evening, authorities said.
Two of the boys are 15, one is 14 and one 17, according to police. The boys were being interviewed by cops after two were brought in by their mothers. The other two were apprehended.
None of the suspects had been charged early Monday, and one remained at large.
A bodega clerk on Sunday said he turned away the victim’s father when the man asked to use the store’s phone to call 911 moments after he and his daughter were set upon in the Osborn Playground in Brownsville.
The Gaston deli staffer, who gave his name as Sammy, said he didn’t believe the man’s story.
“He looked normal. He didn’t look nervous or desperate,†the clerk recalled.
“A lot of people come here asking to use the phone. I feel bad now knowing why he needed the phone.â€
The rebuffed father flagged down two cops in uniform outside, authorities said. He told them he was walking with his daughter when five suspects approached them about 9:10 p.m. Thursday. One pulled a gun and ordered the man to leave. The five creeps then raped the woman, according to cops.
I’m just speaking for myself. No one gets to my kids except through me. I’d never be able to live with myself otherwise.
My daughters will ALWAYS be my little girls. Anyone messing with them will feel the wrath and fury of hell itself unleashed on earth and they will regret the day they were born only to die a slow, miserable, and agonizing death.
And that’s assuming I’m in a good mood that day.
Sorry....I’m going all Rick Grimes on one of these dudes & bite right through his neck. Whatever happens, happens. This girl will never trust her father again & he’s going to self-destruct unless he’s content to live as half a man.
What are you saying? Do you think the father was in on the rape or that the store clerk lied or what? I can tell you sense something doesn't add up... What is it?
That wasn’t his point, though. Yes, of course any parent is just as protective when they are 35 as when they are 5. But he was using her “little girl” status in order to make the father culpable in the attack. That is what was so noxious about his post. If she was truly a little girl, then yes, he would have been culpable of poor judgement, and he would have been at fault for putting her in harm’s way. But NOT WHEN SHE IS AN ADULT. At that point, he has no right or obligation to tell her where she can, or cannot, go, and therefore he is no longer culpable for putting her in harm’s way. She had every right, as long as we are a free people, to have gone into that park, with or without him, because she is an adult. He can make suggestions, but the decision is hers. A decision which wasn’t hers to make, when she really was a “little girl”.
Read some history....we did run in some battles.
I am not an internet commando nor a mall ninja. For whatever it adds to the debate, I spent 24 years as a police officer, and I know first hand that there are moments in life where you get off the X, regardless of the odds. Yes, the 5 animals involved in this sorry incident are completely to blame, and I acknowledge that the father was not left with any good choices. We will never know what might have happened had dad chosen to stay and fight, so your supposition that it would have made matters worse is no more valid than my supposition that standing and fighting for someone you love would have been better.
I am guided by my code of living, and I would have fought. I am not impressed with internet cowards who can find reasons to justify inaction or cowardice.
This story is pretty fishy. For one thing, dad and daughter went to the park at night together to drink beer. Odd at a minimum. Then after leaving his daughter, dad went to a bodega and calmly asked to use the phone, but didn’t tell the bodega owner why. He was turned down and left the bodega without making a call.
See post 88. The person who I was responding to was trying to imply that the father was at fault for situation arising, because she was “a little girl”, and shouldn’t have been in the park unprotected. While you (and I, and just about everyone I know), would like to think that we would gladly give up our lives just for the opportunity to save our daughter, this has absolutely nothing to do with my point. The bottom line is that the father is not culpable for her being in the park, unprotected or otherwise.
Horrible story.
