| ‘Occupy Cleveland’ Protester Alleges She Was Raped |
| 2011-10-19 |
| An “Occupy Cleveland” protester tells police she was raped in her tent over the weekend. Cleveland police are investigating an alleged sexual assault incident Saturday at the “Occupy Cleveland” rally involving a 19-year-old female student from Parma. According to police reports, the 19-year-old student was instructed by “Occupy Cleveland” personnel to “share a tent with the suspect due to a shortage of tents.” The suspect identified himself as “Leland” to the woman. The woman told police that after she had thought the suspect went to sleep in his own bed, she slept in a sleeping bag provided to her by the rally. The student went to school Monday and told a teacher about her sexual assault incident in Public Square — which is being classified as “kidnapping/rape” — prompting the teacher to immediately contact the authorities. |

| #18 As Madam Mao put it .. to a communist revolutionary sex is no different than drinking a glass of water. I guess you could skip a dinner and a movie if you wants to take Madame Mao out. |

| #17 Cleveland is actually quite pleasant, like Buffalo. Warm, welcoming people, too. Unfortunately, over-ambitious unions ruined it for everyone. |

| #16 It isn't theft. It is wealth redistribution. |

| #15 seems that lawlessness is not limited to Cleveland as far as the occutards go. Theft is our biggest problem |

| #14 Somebody actually WANTS to go to Cleveland? If you have a brother in prison, another in a whorehouse & a third one in Cleveland, you have to get the guy out of Cleveland FIRST. |

| #10 After seeing the types "occupying" Chicago, I'm only surprised that there hasn't been more trouble. Give it time. |

| #9 Didn't Obama's good buddy Bill Ayers do much the same thing during his 'Weather Underground' days? |

| #7 rjschwarz, it happened in the 60s protests too. There was a lot of pressure for women to sleep with the guys, and some of the pressure went beyond just words. Classmate of mine was gang raped at one protest in 69. |

| #6 How many women have been raped at Tea Party rallies? Which one is safer for your daughter? |

| #5 Very sad if true. They aren't the woodstock generation unified by fear of Vietnam, these are selfish folks with a lot of anarchists mixed in. It's not a surprise that something like this would eventually happen. Hopefully the poor girl's trauma can lead to a bit more common sense from the occupy crowds. |

| #4 After seeing the types "occupying" Chicago, I'm only surprised that there hasn't been more trouble. This kind of crowd tends to attract losers. Besides, who would want to occupy Cleveland? |

| #3 Not that I'm glad, but rape has a way of clarifying who the bad guys are, in a way that reason can't. |

| #2 I like the news slant on this one. If it were at a Tea Party rally, the slogan would be "Teabagger rapes female attendee". Nicely done. |
