[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This 46yo man from DC followed a girl off the Metrobus and raped her in the woods at the intersection of Aspen Hill and Veirs Mill Rd.  He made her uncomfortable on the bus, so she got off and he followed her.

Police are reaching out to the public because they think there are likely other victims.

My DD goes to RM, which is close to there, and there are tons of students who take the bus up and down Veirs Mill and Rockville Pike both to and from school.  Talk to your kids, especially your daughters.

Glad they caught him, but this definitely makes me a bit wary about DD taking the bus, even during the day.

And the dcum moms beat up and disparage the parents who don’t let their kids ride piblic transport alone. They will stay quiet on this thread and shrink. [/quote]

I don’t think I beat up anybody but I do let my teens ride metro bus and will continue to do so.  I’ve talked to them about safety and will continue to do so.

I feel awful for this girl.  It is terrible that the choices seem to be to restrict our girls’ movement or risk sexual assault.  I don’t want to live in a world where a teen girl can’t go to see her friend by herself or stay after school for an activity.  This also could have happened if the teen had been walking.  We are not safe as women and every day we all need to make hard choices about what we can do and where and when.  
Prayers for her and her family.  And agree this guy should never see the light of day.  I  would guess he  was caught so quickly because his DNA is already on file.  This girl is a hero for reporting it quickly and likely getting the rape exam. I hope her strength and courage in putting this guy away gives her some small comfort and sense of agency.
