Sex Assault Averted

I hesitate somewhat to post this story, mostly because of the missing pieces. Unfortunately for true victims, some of these sexual assault stories turn out to be fabricated. I have no reason to believe one way or another for this story, but a red flag goes up when the victim can only give one piece of information on her attacker: "...she could not provide a detailed description of the many, saying only that he was heavy set."

That doesn't pass the initial smell test for me.

This particular story appears to be fairly widely distributed on MSM sites, and here is the KSTP News version: "SCSU student fights off parking-lot attack".

ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) - Police were investigating on Tuesday a report of an attempted sexual assault in a parking lot at St. Cloud State University.

Police said a female student was walking to her vehicle Monday night when a man opened the rear door of a parked vehicle and pulled her into the back seat.

The woman was able to fight her way out of the vehicle and get away. Her injuries are not life-threatening.

She told police that she could not provide a detailed description of the many, saying only that he was heavy set. He was in a larger, newer four-door vehicle with a cloth interior.

Again, I don't want to discount a legitimate story, but I need more information. Out of instinct, I took a wait-and-see approach with the Kenwood Park sex assault story, and that turned out to be the right move (I certainly miss some too) because the story turned out to be "Unfounded".

Let's give this latest story some time and see what shakes out. Obviously, if true, it merits significant concern.
