12-year-old girl escaps rape helped by an iPod Touch
A 12-year-old girl from Minnesota escaped from her mother’s ex-boyfriend repeated attempts to rape her by using a MP3 player with Internet access.
On the night of 10th of July, Raymond Cesmat, 42 years old, took away the girl’s cell phone after an unsuccessful rape attack and left telling her to leave the door to her bedroom open. What he did not know was that the girl had an iPod Touch, an MP3 player with Internet access, which she used to call for help. The girl used the iPod Touch to access her Facebook page and search for friends online. There she found Cesmat’s daughter whom she asked to contact her mother and tell her to get home because she is being molested by her father. Just as she was sending the message Cesmat entered the room and tried to rape her once again, but the little girl fought back kicking and scratching the defendant.
Thinking that he might come back for the third time, the girl pushed her dresser in front of the door, got out her bedroom from the window and ran to a gas station nearby where she called the police. The police came to their house and found Cesmat covered in blood which he claimed was coming from scratches obtained while searching for the girl that ran away. Cesmat was arrested and put in a Dakota County jail where he took his own life when realizing that he was facing two counts of first-degree sexual charges.
