New York Times Looks Into Sorority-related Attacks Around Dallas

Manny Fernandez, writing for the New York Times, takes a look at the three rapes and one attempted rape of local middle-age members of the Delta Sigma Theta sorority over the last year. Many of the women in the story — ages ranging from 33 to 70 — are removing all public affiliations with the group, including jewelery, license-plate frames, tote bags, and mentions on Facebook. Police have repeatedly said that one man seems to be targeting the women and that during the attacks, “he indicated that he knew personal information about each woman,” but the police aren’t saying any more than that. Certainly one of the more bizarre stories of the year.
