90-year-old Woman Raped by Three Teenagers

On August 12th, three teenagers in Detroit, MI have been charged with raping a 90-year-old woman. Maurice Randall, 17, Anthony Hardy, 18, and a 15-year-old boy whose name is not being released because he is a juvenile were arraigned immediately. 

 

The crime took place on the west side of Detroit. The attack angered residents of the neighborhood who started patrolling the neighborhood with bullhorns urging witnesses of the attack to come forward. Police have stated that more than 200 volunteers played a key role into finally solving this case and finding the guilty parties. The united front of the volunteers shows how people can aid in bringing justice forward. It is tragic for any woman to have to go through such brutality. It is fortunate that the men responsible for this injustice are going to be held responsible for their actions. 

Every two minutes someone in the U.S. is a victim of sexual assault. Elderly women are especially vulnerable because they are less likely to physically be able to protect themselves from such an attack. If your family member was a victim of rape, there can be no course of action to take away the emotional anguish a person suffers from that type of incident. Contacting an Arizona personal injury attorney can help bring the responsible parties to justice and help your loved one receive compensation for their injuries.  

 

Man Jailed For Attacking 67-Year-Old Mother

A 67-year-old woman was left with a fractured eye socket and several other injuries following an attack against her from her son, 45-year-old Bradley Stewart. Stewart reportedly barged into his mother’s house while he was intoxicated and he threatened the woman’s life and the lives of her grandchildren.

 

Stewart punched Bernette Ellis several times in the face and kicking her all over her body. The altercation reportedly began when Stewart barged into the house and demanded answers from his mother regarding a family issue. A neighbor reportedly called emergency crews to the house when she heard thuds in the house. When police arrived, Ellis’ eyes were swollen shut and she had blood coming from her eyes, ears and nose. There is no information on what legal action will be taken against Stewart at this time.

There are many incidents that occur as a result of somebody being intoxicated or under the influence of some other substance. Very often, many people are put in dangerous situations especially when the person that is intoxicated acts violently toward others when intoxicated. However, the fact that this incident involved an elderly woman makes things much worse. Regardless whether it is an elderly victim or not, nobody should be put in a situation where they inevitably fear for their lives because somebody they know becomes violent due to alcohol influence. It is likely that Stewart could face severe criminal charges in this incident.
