Scary news making the rounds this week: a 17-year old girl was brutally raped Monday morning on her way to school while waiting for an RTA bus. This is the kind of story that makes you double check the locks at night.

According to Channel 5, the girl was waiting for the bus at 55th and Broadway when she noticed a black van. When she tried to walk home, the van followed, and eventually the assailant jumped from the vehicle and forced her into the car.
