Police: 2 assault transgender woman in N. Carolina bathroom

January 9, 2019

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Police in North Carolina say two women sexually assaulted a transgender woman at a Raleigh bar.

News outlets report 38-year-old Amber Harrell and 31-year-old Jessica Fowler are charged with second-degree kidnapping and sexual battery.

The woman told Raleigh police she was inside the bar’s bathroom in December when Harrell and Fowler started verbally abusing her, exposed themselves and started touching her.

The woman says Harrell and Fowler continued to assault her outside the bathroom and ignored her and the bartender’s orders to stop.

From the description of the crime they escaped a few of charges. What the hell is wrong with people! I hope justice is served. I wonder what was keeping her from just leaving? Did she have NO advocates to turn to for support and help during the crime? This makes me feel sad and also leaves me with a lot of questions.
