DANA POINT : 2 Men Are Sought in Attempted Rape
Two men who dragged a 17-year-old girl from a sidewalk into a car near Dana Hills High School on Tuesday evening are being sought by police for suspicion of kidnaping and attempted rape.
Sheriff’s Lt. Richard J. Olson said the girl was walking on Street of the Golden Lantern near Cheltam Way about 7:30 p.m. when two men pulled up next to her and began yelling in Spanish.
One of the men jumped out of the car and pulled the teen-ager inside, then drove to Doheny State Beach and parked. When the men began pulling on her clothes, she fought back, kicking and punching her assailants.
The girl then jumped out of the car and hid in a clump of bushes until the men left. She sustained a bruised cheek.
One of the assailants was described as about 20 years old, 5-foot-6 and 155 pounds, with black hair and brown eyes. The girl said he was wearing a Raiders baseball cap, gray T-shirt and blue jeans. The other was described only as having brown hair and wearing black pants.
Anyone with information about the assault is asked to call the Sheriff’s Department at (714) 647-7042.
