One Confirmed Assault and One Alleged Rape

Saturday, April 30, a girl posted "Warning to all female joggers who run on the road to the landfill in Cul de Sac" on Facebook, saying that a young woman may have be raped there a few days earlier. The police says: no complaint has been filed. The possible victim is invited to come forward and file a complaint, very quickly. She can also contact Trait d’Union, the association helping victims in Saint-Martin, who will accompany her in the process. The gendarmerie also advises joggers to avoid running alone in poorly lit, uninhabited and isolated areas. As for the rumors circulating on social networks, though they sometimes are very good indicators, the facts are often amplified and one should use caution before consider everything immediately as true.

The day before, Friday 29 at 10:30 P.M., a man driving his scooter on Holland Street was molested by two young men who brought him down, without a gun, and left with his vehicle. The victim filed a complaint and the case is ongoing at the gendarmerie brigade.
