Online Dating Rape In New York City




[From article]
The 28-year-old victim told cops she met a man named “Jeffrey Kent” on the popular dating Web site. It is unclear if that is his real name, police said.
Kent and the woman — whose name and hometown are being kept confidential by authorities — agreed to have their first date in New York and she took a bus into the city on Monday, arriving at around 4 p.m., police said.
The two met at an agreed-upon spot inside the Port Authority, but he did not make a good first impression — not by any stretch — immediately suggesting they go to a hotel, a law-enforcement source told The Post.
The woman was furious, and refused.

He forced her downstairs into the maze of underground concrete spaces and tunnels that extends west of the Port Authority, sources said.
She told police that she was raped inside an area with what looked like an abandoned train track running through it, sources said.
The woman could not easily pinpoint where she’d been taken, one source said.
“She’s from out of town and could only say that she saw train tracks,” the source told The Post.
After the attack, the woman somehow managed to find her way out onto West 41st Street between Tenth and 11th Avenues.
She ran up to a parked fire truck and asked for help.
