上週五清晨還在睡夢中
被我拿來當鬧鐘的手機傳來簡訊聲擾人清夢
定睛一看，學校停車場發生類似強暴案
因為不是持械闖空門，而且停車場半夜空曠發生這種事是可預期的
所以又倒頭回去睡
(PS. 自從上次西維吉尼亞大學發生槍擊案後，本校也啟用手機傳達校園安全訊息)


早上收到學校完整的交代案發始末
只讓我罵出來
原來不是夜歸女子在停車場被襲擊
大家看完大概也會有類似的想法吧：
怎麼會發生這種事？？

稍微歸納一下：
一個女生在星期四下午在圖書館外面
有一個男生過來跟她搭訕
兩人相談甚歡
繼續跑去學校餐廳吃晚餐
在晚餐時還喝了一些啤酒
聊到九點多，女生說累了要回家了
男生說他可以送她回家
女生同意
於是就走到室外停車場
誰知那男的就把車子開到旁邊比較僻靜的室內停車場
女生開始覺得奇怪，男生說想再「多聊聊」
於是又聊了一個多小時
結果男生就開始毛手毛腳了
女生拒絕，奪門而出，男生追了一陣子就又開車跑了
女生跑到一開始那個圖書館，這時已經是十一點多了
但是就只是在那邊呆坐兩小時
也沒先報警，是路人在半夜一點發現才通知警方

雖然我為那女生逃過一劫而慶幸
也知道她在當下大概是嚇傻了不知所措
但是幾個點還是讓我覺得女生還是要有點警覺性

1. 怎麼會去搭一個初次見面的異性的車回家？

2. 在他把車開到室內停車場就該趕快跑走，還繼續聊一小時？

3. 出了事以後應該要趕快報警或是找人求助，
怎麼會是在那邊發呆兩小時？

每次去咖啡館唸書，總可以聽到兩個男女就隨便聊了起來
聽起來好像認識許久，結果聽到最後才開始交換姓名或電話
原來根本是隨意搭訕

在公共空間、人來人往的狀態或許可以如此沒有戒心
但是後續活動如果是一對一的就要特別留意自身安全了
一時的疏忽大意可能讓歹徒有機可乘
讓自己後悔莫及


On Thursday, May 29, 2008, a female UCI student was waiting out in
front of Langson Library late in the afternoon when she was approached
by a young man.  He introduced himself as "Danny", a student from
another (unknown) school.  Danny and the UCI student talked in front
of Langson Library for two hours.  Danny then suggested they visit the
Anteater Pub to eat or drink and they walked over to the Pub at
7:30pm.

While at the Anteater Pub, they continued talking and consumed several
beers each (no food).  At 9:30pm, the female student was tired and
told Danny she had to go home; Danny offered her a ride and she
accepted.  They walked to Danny's car in Parking Lot #1.  Danny's car
is only described as silver in color (no further description).  Danny
drove the female student out of Parking Lot #1 and made a hasty turn
into Parking Lot 3-A (adjacent to the Merage School of Business and
across from the Social Science Parking Structure).  The parking lot
was empty.  The female objected and asked why he had turned into the
empty parking lot; Danny told the victim he wanted to talk some more.

Once parked in Lot 3-A, the student and Danny talked for another hour
or so.  Danny then unzipped the victim's jeans and reached in,
touching her pubic area several times; no penetration occurred.  The
victim verbally resisted and Danny stopped.  Danny then put his hand
into the victim's shirt, grabbing her breasts.  Fearing for her
safety, the victim fled the silver car and ran away toward Langson
Library at 11pm.  Danny started following the victim on foot for 100
yards, calling to her to stop; Danny returned to in his car and left
the area.  The victim made good her escape and arrived at Langson
Library.

The victim was upset over the incident, and did not immediately seek
police assistance.  She sat outside Langson Library for two hours
before being spotted by others who notified police at 1am.  The victim
provided the below suspect description; she was not injured.

Suspect Description:  "Danny", Male Asian, 21 years, short black hair,
brown eyes, 6 ft 1 inch tall, 160 lbs. Last seen wearing a gray
sweatshirt and blue jeans.

Our safety escort service is available by calling 949-824-SAFE.  A
uniformed CSO will then meet you and escort you to your destination, a
safe alternative to walking alone at night.

If you have further information on the suspect or are a witness,
please call the UCI Police Department at 949-824-5223.
