Wringing out 2014 – This is the second time this month that Democrat Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane has appeared in the headlines. In the first example she was the cause of shutting down a bribery and corruption sting operation in Philadelphia because only Black Politicians were taking the bribes. In this example Kane is blaming the victim of workplace rape for not locking her door, the only problem is there were no door locks.

PENNSYLVANIA – The Pennsylvania attorney general’s office is blaming a woman for getting raped by an inmate while at work at a state prison, saying she should have locked the door to her office. The prisoner has a history of rape, including of a woman at another jail.
The 24-year-old state prison clerk is suing over her rape at a central Pennsylvania prison. The defendants include the state Department of Corrections and three employees. The woman worked at the Rockview prison near Bellefonte in 2013 when she was attacked by inmate Omar Best, a criminal with three prior convictions for sex-related crimes. Best had been transferred to Rockview after committing a felony assault on a female prison worker at a different facility.
“Despite this knowledge, defendants… still allowed Omar Best to have unsupervised access to the offices of female employees,” the attorney general’s office wrote in the response to the woman’s suit.
In mid-July 2013, just a month after the plaintiff began working at the Bellefonte facility, she told her superiors that inmates were coming into the hallways that led to her office, and that she was uncomfortable with Best, who sometimes emptied the trash in that area of the building. She was especially distressed by Best entering her office, ThinkProgress reported. She was told that Best would no longer be allowed in her office, according to the Washington Examiner.
Best raped the woman on July 25, 2013. First, he entered her office, pretending to empty the trash can. He grabbed her from behind, strangled her until she was unconscious, then raped her. The ordeal lasted 27 minutes before closed-circuit television showed the inmate leaving the room ‒ the victim’s own office ‒ of his own accord. Prison staff later found the woman on the office floor, still unconscious.
The woman had tried to blow a defense whistle, but no one heard, the Examiner reported. (read more)
