Chicago's Rape Epidemic

The Chicago Tribune reports:

In December, over DePaul's winter break, police reported that a man broke into a student's apartment and sexually assaulted her. Police and university officials alerted the public to the crime, and the case received attention from newspapers and TV stations.

But the DePaul case wasn't the only sexual assault in Chicago that weekend, said Angela Exson, the head of advocacy for Rape Victim Advocates.

That same weekend, volunteers from the group responded to 11 sexual assault victims in emergency rooms across the city.

"What we see in the newspaper or on television--it doesn't match what we see as service providers," Exson said. Rape "happens every single day."

Just think,in Chicago,you can't own a gun to defend yourself.
