Woman reports being raped
HILLSIDE DISTRICT -- A Burbank woman was allegedly raped by an
acquaintance, but police released very few details about the incident
because it is still under investigation.
The alleged sexual assault occurred Tuesday night inside a home in
the Hillside District area. Police would not disclose the location or
circumstances of the attack.
Police officials, however, did say the woman knew the man who
attacked her. The woman went to the police station late Tuesday night
to report the incident, police said.
As of late Friday, no arrests had been made, police said.
