Story out of Lawrence, Massachusetts:
A Lawrence woman who says her boyfriend tied her up, raped her and threatened to shoot her initially couldn't get help when she escaped from the Newberry Street apartment she'd been held in.
The Eagle-Tribune reports the woman ran naked into the street, with her hands still bound behind her and screaming that someone was trying to kill her as people seeing her looked and did nothing.
Lawrence Police Officer Ariel Montas, who was the first officer on the scene, told Lawrence District Court Monday that the victim said she ran into a store and was told to leave, the Eagle-Tribune reported.
Eventually, the victim ran past a woman who called 911.
Police found the woman sitting on a stoop crying and wearing a sweater donated by a passerby, WCVB reported. Her face was dirty, her feet were bare, and there were ligature marks on her ankles and wrists where she had been bound, the police report stated.
According to several reports, the victim told police her boyfriend, Keyvin "Ghetto" Gil, was upset and accused her of taking his marijuana. The woman said Gil pointed a gun at her and used it to violate her. She said two days later he raped her and told her he would wait for her daughters to come home so she could say goodbye to them before he would shoot her. It was then, the woman told police, Gil tied her with clothesline. He then burned her body with a lit cigarette, she told police. The woman was able to free her legs and escape with her wrists still bound after Gil fell asleep. Cont.
