A 32-year old student was kidnapped at gunpoint and sexually assaulted on her way to class at Evergreen Valley College around 7 am. Tuesday. Police Chief Ed Dunn said that the woman's sister drove her to school and dropped her off at the south end of the Cedro cluster. An asian man approached her as she walked past the Cedro building, pointed a gun at her and ordered her to get into a car in the parking lot, where he fondled her for about ten minutes. A police interview with the student found that she went to class once she was released. It was not until after class was over that she contacted her sister, who took her to the Student Health office at Evergreen Valley College. The nurse contacted the police, who interviewed the victim, and then sent her to Valley Medical Center for examination and counseling. According to Dunn, it is not uncommon for the victim of a sexual assault to continue his or her ordinary schedule. "The embarrassment and degradation and humiliation and fear ... ·can throw any person, male or female, into trying to disbelieve the horror [they're] going through," he said. Valley Medical Center staff determined that there was no penile intercourse, but that the assailant may have penetrated the victim ·with his finger. That would not be classified as rape, but would constitute penetration by a foreign object under section 289 of the California Penal Codes. The last time an incident like this occurred on the Evergreen campus was in the late 1970's although there was a rape at San J ore City College in 1982. The perpetrator in that case was apprehended within three weeks and was sentenced to three years in prison. In addition to safety measures Pllt in place by the administration, Dunn hopes that students and staff in the district will become more aware of their surroundings. Anyone noticing anything or anyone suspicious should turn and walk the other way. "The ideal possibility: walk in P<tirs or in groups," be advised. 1-Iaving keys in band before arriving at your car can reduce risk as well.
