Don't be a Victim!

Today, WSOC reported about a woman who was victimized after she fell for a sly trick by a rapist. On Friday night, a 23 year old woman stopped at a convenience store on Glenwood Drive- in west Charlotte.

Police said a man tapped on the woman’s passenger-side window and she cracked it. The man asked for a cigarette and when she looked down at her purse, he put his hand in through the window and opened the door.

The man made the woman drive three miles to an isolated location on Kansas Drive, where he raped her three times, officials said. Police say the young woman was on her way to help a friend who was having car trouble.

Be careful if someone knocks on your window! If you must, crack your window a tiny bit and always make sure your doors are locked. It is unfortunate people use tactics such as this to victimize people. We have to think twice about helping people these days and that stinks!
