Two men charged for gang rape of lesbian

From Yahoo News:

MARTINEZ, Calif. – Two men and a teenager were charged Tuesday in the alleged gang rape of a lesbian in the San Francisco Bay area.

Humberto Hernandez Salvador, 31, and Josue Gonzalez, 21, were charged with kidnapping, carjacking and gang rape in the attack last month in Richmond.

Hate-crime enhancements were added to charges against Salvador, which could mean a more severe sentence if he is convicted. Authorities say the woman was taunted for being a lesbian during the 45-minute assault. Salvador was also charged with being armed with a gun.

Glad to hear it!

personally, I favor the punishment method of tying them to a tree stump in the Atchafalaya Swamp in Louisiana and let the alligators take care of him.

Rape is a horrible, frightening and humiliating crime. I like your idea, but I think the allegators should be provided with a glory hole.

Not terribly Christian today, Bruce Chris

I do wish that there was a way to reach out to the woman, and offer her support

There are some fundraising efforts to raise money and help pay her medical and legal expenses. Equalityactionnow (which I am involved in) is planning something in the very near future, and I believe other events are already occuring in the bay area. Very sad. I don't believe in the death penalty, but at the moment I'm not opposed to allowing the perpetrators to try their luck at surviving the alligator pond.
