Investigators think there could be more victims and want them to contact police. If you have any information, you can call 919-560-4440.

Greekgirl what is sick about it? Sometimes the best way to save your life is to give in. Most times if you don't struggle they won't rape you. Rape is not about sex it is about control.

smoothtip...that's just sick.

I wouldn't fight....I would just give it up.

It starts by educating at home... On the "victims" side and on the "attackers" side - teaching the word "no" (may or may have not happened in this case) what it means and to respect it when someone else says it and also how to keep yourself safe.

Do door to door insurance salesmen exist anymore?
