Detailed description of violation:
Michelle, 30, describes an attack on her roommate last August. “She asked [a man] for directions on the Mar Mikhael steps,” she says, “and he led her down an alleyway and started masturbating. He was saying ‘Are you scared of me, are you scared of me?’ She had a bag full of books and she tried to hit him with it, but he punched her in the face and gave her a black eye.”
