Girl 14, thrashes would-be rapist en route to school

May 11, 2012 News

 

 

A 14-year-old girl put her boxing skills to effective use yesterday after a would-be rapist attacked her on a lonely Soesdyke/Linden trail.
The teen bit, kicked and punched her alleged victim mercilessly before fleeing and reporting her attack at a police outpost.
Kaieteur News understands that the victim was walking down a trail on her way to school when a man, who had a jersey tied around his face, grabbed her.
But when the would-be rapist placed his hand on her mouth to prevent her from screaming, the teen, an amateur boxer, went into action. She clamped her teeth on one of the man’s fingers, causing him to beg her to release the finger.
The desperate would-be rapist began to punch the schoolgirl, who retaliated by throwing several punches of her own. She also pulled off the man’s makeshift mask, thereby getting a good look at her attacker.
The man, according to sources, attempted to force the girl to the ground, but received a kick to the groin which stopped his attack.
The teen then managed to escape her assailant. She reported the assault to ranks at a police outpost, and then, accompanied by her mother, gave a statement to police in Georgetown. Because her face was swollen from the punches she received, police also had her treated at a hospital.
Kaieteur News understands that the assailant is dark in complexion and his hair was in corn-row plaits at the time. He is also likely to have a badly swollen finger.
