When you think about rape, usually you think about lonely places, parking lots, odd hours but what would say if I tell you that you are not even safe to go to the bathroom by yourself while you are in the cinema! And what about if I go further and I tell you that this did not happen in New York City or California but in South Salt Lake City, Utah?

A 16-year-old girl was raped last night at a movie theater in South Salt Lake. It happened at the Century 16, off 33rd South. South Salt Lake police told me this is the first rape case they've ever had here. No matter what scary movie you've seen at the Century 16 theaters, it doesn't even come close to the horror a 16-year old girl experienced there Thursday night. South Salt Lake police say the girl was raped in the womens' bathroom. Shelley Tingey: "It surprised me that it could've happened here. It's always so crowded." Investigators believe a 19-year old man followed her in, crawled under the stall, and covered her mouth so no one would hear her screams for help. Joshua Guy Taber is now in jail charged with rape. The victim knew him through mutual friends also at the theater last night. Erica Thoen, with the Rape Recovery Center, says most rape cases involve two people who know each other. But even then, she says the most important thing for victims is to get help, and not blame themselves for the attack. Erica Thoen/ Rape Recovery Center: "It's not their fault. And I think more often than not, society tends to blame the victim..." |

How sick is that? You follow the girl while she is eliminating herself? Salt Lake City seems to be getting worst as they open up their borders.
Rather off topic, but... It is interesting they said it was the first rape case they have heard of... just imagine in Trinidad, a very small island that could fit in the Great Salt Lake, it happens multiple times daily. |
