Mentally Challenged Woman Raped on LA Bus: Bystanders Present and Surveillance Camera Don't Prevent It

The shocking rape of a mentally challenged woman on a Los Angeles bus late last week- despite the presence of passengers, a driver and a surveillance camera- should underscore how predators can sexually abuse victims in the most unlikely of circumstances. Particularly for individuals with disabilities, the risk of sexual abuse or attack is shockingly high. Sadly, most families don't have the resources to be as vigilant as they need to be. The rest of us as potential intervening bystanders must be attentive.
