Mom overhears teenage daughter being raped

The teenager was attacked in Elswick, Newcastle upon Tyne, and threatened with a four-inch kitchen knife.
And her mother heard the attack when she called her mobile phone because she was concerned when her daughter hadn’t returned home.
After hearing the rapist’s voice over the phone, she called the police.

A five-day manhunt is underway to find the attacker, who struck on Tuesday at about 8:30pm, while the victim’s auntie has begged for help to find her niece’s rapist.
The 42-year-old said: “Her mum rang her daughter and she could hear his voice in the background, she didn’t know where she was or what was happening.”
After the attack, the terrified teenager got into a taxi and asked to be taken home.

As she travelled, she telephoned her mum and said she had been robbed, but in a later conversation, revealed she had been raped.
The girl’s aunt said: “My sister is absolutely devastated. She just keeps blaming herself and feels so guilty. But she was just walking to an event.

“She wasn’t drinking on the street like a lot of 15-year-olds do. She should have been safe.” Police have since found the wooden-handled kitchen knife used by the rapist at the scene.

And officers have now released CCTV images of the suspect who was caught on camera moments before the attack.
They describe the attacker as a man in his late teens, about 5ft 8ins tall, with dark skin and slim build, and wearing a black leather jacket and a black fleece hat.
Specially trained police officers have been working with the victim since the attack. — Daily Mail.
