Possible rape at DD last Thursday ...

[WDW1974]

I think the story says it all. Can y'all please refrain from the ''it's only news because it happened at Disney'' and ''she was drunk and had it coming'' BS that winds up killing these threads.

This is here because it IS NEWS. Period.

Wow, that's just terrible. Why people do those kinds of horrible things just baffles me, it's just disgusting

If they want people to help ID the suspect, it would be helpful if they attached the picture to the article somehow.

Just awful.

This is the image sent out from the Orange County Sheriff's Office. If you have any information on identifying this person, Please contact them. It was one week ago tonight.

Not trying to be snarky, but is there a reason it took a week before they released this?

"Our detectives worked this case vigorously until they felt they needed the public's help," sheriff's spokeswoman Jane Watrel said. "Sometimes they want to hold things close to the vest so they can proceed with the investigation."

Obviously, they'd rather not release info unless they have to. It's a very sensitive issue. Also, the moment a story releases, it's more likely that the guy will flee. You'd prefer to have him in custody before releasing info.

This just came out this evening. The OCSO is not known for being very forthcoming when Disney is involved.

It would just seem that in a place like WDW where the majority of vacationers are probably gone in a week that they'd want to get that picture out right away.

If I took a guess I bet it will come out its a local not a tourist that did this. Just a hunch. Usually it's people with crimes like this that have possible done it before around the same metropolitan area. But of course this is just my guess not fact by any means.

I wouldn't think it would be a vacationeer. HOB Wednesday night crowd has "80's Rewind"... not sure if its officially another Service Industry Night.

but a vacationer might have been able to ID the guy. Again, I'm not trying to be snarky, just surprised.

Okay, lets all try and stay on point before this gets locked.

This is a big safety concern for cast members and patrons of Downtown Disney as well as patrons of the House of Blues.

The goal here is spreading the image of the suspect so that people can help bring an end to this case.

and spreading awareness to those visiting the parks that these things can happen anywhere

 

[ProjectXBlog]

Seems like its just one person and they're doing their best to derail a tread thats important to public safety.

how about it gets locked and simply stickied to the top for a week or whatever

Didn't think you were snarky at all! Just was saying he may be a local. Sorry didn't mean it to come off that way if it did.

So.

Anyone recognize this guy?

I mean I swear I've seen him before around the Orlando area. But it's such a generic look, could be anyone.

if someone had the time, there might be a way to potentially match him up with a registered sex offender, maybe in the orlando area? i honestly don't know. i'm not trying to start a manhunt or anything, just trying to keep this damn thing on the rails

Any chance the rapist is a CM at this point? I'm assuming that's the first thing the cops checked....Maybe he works at one of the construction sites nearby? Scary stuff.

Hide your kids, hide your wife....
