A 15-year-old has been held in custody following the rape of an autistic woman in Ohio, America.
According to police, Anferney Fontenet attacked the unnamed 26-year-old, who is bi-polar and has Asperger’s syndrome, while she walked to the library after leaving her friends house in the early afternoon.
The boy allegedly told police that he threatened the woman with scissors and then raped her on the sidewalk – in full view of motorists and pedestrians.
Police also say the boy told them that he saw the woman walking alone and was determined that he was going to have sex with her.
Several drivers witnessed the attack, but did not stop and help, although some did call the police.
The victim has since spoken about her ordeal and blasted those that watched and did nothing.
She said: “I’m ticked off because people were doing nothing. Just driving by. What humans are we becoming?”
