TRENTONn — Police conducted a pre-dawn raid Thursday at a public housing complex where officials say a 7-year-old girl was gang-raped while her teenage stepsister got paid for it, and arrested 27 people on outstanding warrants.
The sweep on Rowan Towers was planned before the girl’s attack, Trenton Mayor Doug Palmer said. Police hope the arrests will lead to tips to help them find those who assaulted the girl; otherwise, the arrests were unrelated to the case, he said.
“This is only the beginning,” Palmer said. “We’re not going to rest until that area is cleaned up so that decent people can live without the threat of fear and violence.”
Police say the child’s 15-year-old stepsister sold her to have sex with as many as seven men and boys at a party Sunday in a vacant apartment near their home. The stepsister was arrested and charged with aggravated sexual assault, promoting prostitution and other crimes.
Many of those arrested Thursday were women, who told The Associated Press the warrants were for minor infractions. Police did not immediately return calls for further details.
Residents said the assault was clearly at the forefront of police officers’ agenda during the raid at the apartment building, a high-rise complex so dangerous that police are hired as security guards at night.
Tair Rivers, 27, said officers yelled, “What happened to the little girl?” as they arrested her and other women. Rivers was arrested for outstanding parking tickets, she said.
Rivers lives in 13-H, an apartment right across from 13-C where the party occurred. She said she was not home over the weekend but would not hesitate to tell police if she knew something.
“We all got kids,” River said. “If we knew something, we would tell.”
Police believe as many as a dozen people were at the party and say everyone in the apartment when the rape occurred could be legally culpable. There were security cameras at the complex and police said they were reviewing all available building surveillance videos.
According to police, the teenager and the 7-year-old were outside in the neighborhood Sunday when the older girl ran into two young men she knew who invited her to the party. The 7-year-old wanted to tag along because she was worried about the older girl’s safety.
At the party, the 15-year-old starting having sex with several men for money and then gave the younger girl some cash to let a group of men touch her as she looked on, police said. It soon escalated to rape and the men threatened to kill the child if she screamed or told anyone, according to police.
The girl later put on her clothes and left the apartment; her older sister stayed. Two women found the child crying outside the apartment and walked her home.
The teenager’s name was not released because of her age, but the county prosecutor plans to ask the court to try her as an adult. It was not clear who was representing the girl in juvenile court.
Interstate Realty Management Company, which manages the 15-story building, said about 150 people live there, and many of the apartments are vacant.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie on Thursday called the incident “deplorable” in his first public comments on the crime that occurred in the shadow of the New Jersey Statehouse.--http://www.njherald.com/

SWEET DREAMS--My Best Friend 6---In search of......
I loved being FREE to make my own decisions while my abusive husband was locked up,I had went to visit him on a few occasions to try and keep him from becoming suspicious of my activities.He already was of course but he was helpless to do anything about his suspicions.I had discovered that sex really was great.I had never experienced an orgasm before my affair and had quite frankly begun to think that I was frigid or abnormal somehow.To discover that I was a completely normal young woman was very exciting to me and I was determined not to give that excitement up.My abusive husband was finally released and my freedom had come to a very sudden end.I decided to tell him that I could not go back to living life with him as before.I told him that I wanted out and felt that he should move out of our apartment because after all,it was my Daddy's property and he should be the one to leave the residence.Well he flat out REFUSED to leave no matter what I said or how I said it.But my mind was made up and I had decided if he wouldn't believe my words than maybe my actions would show him.My new boyfriend and I stayed away from each other for about 3 weeks,we had gone back to the stolen glances and catching a glimpse of each other whenever possible.My mother-in-law knew about our affair because she would babysit my children (her grandchildren) while I spent time with my boyfriend.She understood somehow and knew how very much I wanted out of my marriage to her abusive son.She told me that she had warned him repeatedly that his obsessive and abusive behavior would cost him his marriage.She knew this first hand because of her life with her abusive husband,his dad.So my situation was indeed very weird and quite unusual but this was my life at the time.
The stolen glances were really starting to drive my boyfriend and I crazy,we wanted to be together and we couldn't.This made me resent my abusive husband even more than I already did.So one day I was at my parents house doing the laundry and the telephone rang and when I answered the phone and my boyfriend was on the other end.I was so delighted and excited to hear his voice.He had seen me go to my parents house from his sister's front porch and decided to call me.I was ecstatic!!! We decided that we had to see each other and I began to plan the details of getting away for an afternoon.I had told him that I could hear the music that he would play for me downstairs in his apartment.I would lay awake at night and listen to it because I could hear it really well after turning off our television.I had called my best friend also and she had agreed to watch my children whenever I needed to get away.Bernice was a great Mom and I knew that my babies would be well taken care of and she would not allow my abusive husband to come by pick them up.Now I had to decide on an afternoon to get away and where to meet my boyfriend at.........

Las Vegas police are investigating a stabbing Friday morning that has a woman in the hospital and a suspect at large.
