Online Meeting Leads to Rape

2007_09_computer.jpgThe police charged a Queens man with raping a woman he met on the Internet. A 21-year-old woman traveled from Indianapolis to the Port Authority Bus Terminal on Tuesday, where David Graham picked her up.

He then allegedly took her to his home in Queens Village, where police say he raped and sodomized her. The woman managed to escape to a neighbor's house yesterday morning.

Graham was charged with rape, sexual misconduct and criminal misconduct. He is also a registered sex offender; he had been convicted for sodomy in 2001.

I really hate doing your work for you, Gothamist, but here's a link to David Graham:

You can post his picture now.

Yeah, blaming the victim is wrong, but it is common sense not to meet a complete stranger off the internet.

This story has an amazing lack of detail. Where did they meet online (i.e. on what site)? Why did she travel to NYC? Who did she think this guy was?

Yikes. Reason number 439,293,466 not to meet people on the internets.

She took a bus from Indy to get raped in Queens by a sex offender she met online?

BWAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAHA!!!!!

The only time I ever meet anyone from the internet is to engage in anonymous deviant sexual activities. I mean, where else am I going to find a T-girl to indulge my stripper clothing fantasies. Its not like I can ask my girlfriend for that, she doesn't have a cock. I have no idea what this broad was expecting.*


*Yes, I'm kidding...well, not completely.

Queens Village? she's lucky it was a white dude.
there are worse places to get raped.

user-pic

it was a black dude...look at the picture

What did the dumb whore expect - a stroll through the park?

user-pic

BTW it's very impressive the lengths these perverts would go to lure "unsuspecting" women to do their bidding...

user-pic

The dirty whore probably got it good but had to report it to the authorities out of self respect. And let me guess - it was a white girl...?

user-pic

Again, the skank deserved it just for being the dumb little ho she is.

he's a convicted sex offender. these people should never be allowed to leave jail.

it's a myth invented by criminal defense attorney's that people are rehabilitated after spending time in jail for sex offenses.

Memo to self: consider relocating to the Midwest

This sounds like a Law and Order episode in the making.

user-pic

...where there are no sex offenders? They are there too.

user-pic

No, where the IQs of the females are generally lower than their counterparts in the Northeast....

I'm with EdEx. Rehabilitation for sex offenders is a myth. These people should go to mental institutions after they serve their prison sentences.

user-pic

I would say more like "capital punishment".If this half brained sex beasts are not rehabilitated AT ALL, why the rest have to pay for their existence. That money can go to education...or like republicans prefer: war.

user-pic

he probably met her on eHarmony... that CEO is creepy as hell and probably attracts weirdos.

That's a really great resource for parents and their children- familywatchdog.us!
