Terrifying moment 'demon possessed' homeless man unzips pants and thrusts himself against his victim but woke 'LA DA says it's not attempted rape because attacker didn't say that's what he was going to do'
2023-10-26
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A lone woman who was almost sexually assaulted in broad daylight by a homeless man who unzipped his pants before grabbing her from behind and thrusting up against her, expressed her shock this week that he won’t face felony charges.

Rebekah Pedersen told ABC Los Angeles in an interview that she was told Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon's office was not willing to charge the suspect with felony attempted rape because the attacker 'didn't say that's what he was going to do.'

The horrific incident occurred on October 20 outside of a Village Market restaurant in downtown Long Beach. Surveillance video shows the suspect sitting on the ground as Pedersen walks by.

After she passes him, he hurries up behind her and grabs her, throwing her to the ground. A man sitting nearby springs into action and pepper sprays the would-be attacker, who then runs away.

A witness described the attacker as 'salivating' and appearing to be 'demon possessed' prior to the attempted assault.

The man who pepper sprayed the suspect, Dan McIntyre, gave a horrifying description of the attacker to CBS Los Angeles saying that the man was 'salivating' prior to grabbing Pedersen.

Pedersen told ABC Los Angeles that she plans to get a gun license and a taser.

#7  The homeless guy may not have overtly expressed his motive, but my guess is that "Johnson" was more pointed in confirming intent!

#3  See, what these Soros DA's don't understand is that eventually, nobody will call the police. The castrated corpse will simply be found in an alley. They seem to be pushing hard for a return to street justice.

#2  By this 'logic' I could rob people with a gun and get away with it, just as long as I don't say anything about the gun. Got it.
