Clayton Police Continue to Search for Apartment Rapist
Clayton County police report seven armed rape attacks since December in Clayton County area apartment complexes. Two attacks occurred at gunpoint. In the other five, the rapist forced the victims to shower and remove potential DNA evidence before leaving. The latest attack occurred Saturday at The Woods on Garden Walk Boulevard in College Park, Georgia, in Fulton County. Clayton County police spokesman Lt. Rebecca Brown urges all apartment dwellers to keep their doors and windows locked at all times. Women, in particular, are cautioned to be aware of their surroundings when getting from their cars to their apartment. As always, suspicious activity should immediately be reported to the apartment manager and the police. Georgia law requires property owners to keep their premises safe or warn about attackers if the property owner knew or should have known about a danger. One of the duties of Apartment owners and managers is to warn and notify residents of the known danger. Often Apartment managers feel that such specific notice would hurt marketing efforts to keep their complexes full. They often hide crime from residents to increase their profits at the risk of injury to their residents. The hiding of such information deprives residents of the opportunity to protect themselves. Apartment residents that read this should check with their complex to ensure the complex is taking appropriate steps to keep residents safe from criminal activity. Ensure gates are working correctly and close behind each vehicle and deadbolts are installed and working properly on all doors. There are many other actions that a property owner has a duty to perform to protect its residents.
