Roxse Homes arranged a meeting on
Saturday at 1 p.m. in the Roxse Homes community room to initiate a plan to ensure
the safety of young woman as they are in danger of a sexual assaulter still on
the loose around Roxbury.
Two
attacks occurred earlier this week involving two teenage girls. Both victims
were sexually assaulted on Camden street where they are living in the Roxse
Homes Apartments. "Both victims were able to escape the attack without
injury," stated Boston's NRP news station, "Boston Police suspect the
same man attacked both victims."
A
description of the assaulter was provided by the first victim as she describes the attacker as a Hispanic, possibly Dominican, male
in his late teens, standing 5 feet 7 inches, with a stocky build, medium
complexion, flat nose and “baby face.”
“It’s
scary. My daughter is 13 and she goes to the school nearby, and there are times
when I’m running late and just let her walk over by herself, but not anymore,”
Eva Lopez, who lives on Camden Street, told The Boston
Globe.
As
the parents in the Roxse Homes community began to take precaution of their
girls from possibly coming across the assaulter, the Boston Police and the
mayor's office called up for a meeting at Roxse for all the residents. All
residents had to be aware about this dangerous person trying to hurt (rape)
young innocent woman. The residents had to be informed on the details concerning
the incident, know what exact actions to take and spread the word to others in
the area.
"Many advice's were given in the
meeting." stated Felipe, security officer for Roxse Homes, "For
instance, under the circumstances, avoid walking alone. Begin to walk in groups
and do not talk to strangers. If you are going out, tell a family member your
exact location or destination. If you happen to be alone, walk on a street
where people can see you."
While
the assaulter is still on the loose, the residents continue to take extreme
precaution for their children.
"I am not even safe in front of
my own house. What is this world coming to?" stated Reiniris Uribe, 17-year-old
resident living on Camden street.
