CENTRAL FALLS (Rhode Island) - THREE armed men broke into an apartment and raped a woman who is seven months pregnant while her 9-year-old son was home, police said.
The woman, who is in her 20s, was asleep with her son early on Saturday morning when three men kicked in the door to her third-floor apartment in Central Falls, police said. She was threatened at gunpoint, and one of the men raped her in a bathroom, police Captain James Mendonca said.
The boy was in the bedroom during the rape and 'might have overheard something', he said. The alleged victim told WLNE-TV that the boy saw 'everything'.
The men also took a game system and television set from the apartment, but the woman refused to tell police whether any firearms or drugs were stolen, Cpt Mendonca said. He said the stolen items have not been recovered.
The woman reported the attack to authorities at 3.10am on Saturday, Cpt Mendonca said. One suspect was taken into custody, charged and later released, Cpt Mendonca said. He refused to name the man or say what charges were filed.
The victim suffered minor scrapes and abrasions. She was taken to a hospital, where a rape kit was used to gather evidence.
