How did he force her into his car? at 4 in the afternoon on a busy day? I suspect she knows him and got in his car. Does that make assault ok? never. But I think this is not a case of some random drive by assault.

  If she knew him, wouldn’t she have given the police a name instead of a general description? Pls. don’t blame the victim, too little information for that…

    Quit it with the “don’t blame the victim” stuff. There was no victim-blaming in that statement.
