Rape Suspect Sends Victim’s Family Explicit Text Messages

[Locutus]

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Dallas police say a man raped a woman, then used her cellphone to send her family messages.

A police report shows officers wanted to track the phone to find their suspect Sunday morning after the attack, but were told it could wait until Monday.

The 20-year-old victim was picking up snacks at a 7-Eleven on North Akard around 6 a.m. Sunday when she told police a man offered to walk her home.

She refused, but told police the man followed her anyway, grabbed her, pulled her into a loading dock area, and raped her.

Afterward, the victim ran naked into traffic where she flagged down a driver, who helped her call police.

The police report shows the attacker stole her iPhone and used it, “texting (her) relatives phone for some time.” Sources tell CBS11 the messages he sent were explicit.

I wouldn't expect anything better than from the scum of the earth that would pull a woman off the street and rape her, so the text messages, while disgusting, are hardly surprising.

This from the article though is maddening!

A police report shows officers wanted to track the phone to find their suspect Sunday morning after the attack, but were told it could wait until Monday.

Further in the article, this is what a judge said.

“I get called at home quite often in murder cases, rape cases, especially when they’re hot on the trail of someone,” said Dallas County Judge Lena Levario, who was unsure why police waited to track down this phone.

And this is what a police officer stated.

A sergeant in charge of sexual assault investigations told CBS11 since the victim was no longer in imminent threat, it wouldn’t meet the criteria for a warrant.

First of all, what in the ****ing hell is going on that a person cannot simply give permission to have her stolen cell phone traced? Why in the hell do they need a warrant? Secondly, why wouldn't they just call a judge immediately to try to get a warrant signed to begin tracing it immediately on the Sunday? Odds are they probably would've nabbed the guy since he was text happy on Sunday. By now he could have ditched the phone.

And people wonder why women feel rape isn't taken seriously.

Well they don't. I mean it's only a matter of time before someone asks what she was wearing......at the 7-11 at 6 a.m. on a Sunday morning.
