An elderly Ms. Ella Goldstein entered the Central Park Precinct on 86th Street and went to the main desk. She told the lady officer on duty that she had been raped.

Immediately, the officer called a detective assistant to take her statement.

Going into his cubicle, he advised ms Goldstein that he would have to gather certain information, and sitting down with a pad of paper, he commenced...

How old are you, he asked.

84, she replied.

My goodness, things are really getting bad, he said. Where did this happen?

In central park, she replied.

Can you describe the circumstances, he asked.

Oh yes, she said. I was sitting on a bench, when a young man came up behind me, and put his hands under my blouse, and fondled my breasts. Then he spun me around and kissed me and put his hands down my pants and pulled them off. Then he raped me.

My goodness, he said. Can you describe him?

Oh yes. He was about 6 feet tall, and had blonde hair and sky blue eyes. He was wearing a green shirt and jeans. I guess he was about 30. He was very muscular and quite strong.

I feel sorry for you, lady. When did the rape occur?

June 3, 1946, at about 9 PM.

1946! Why on earth are you just now reporting this, he asked..We can't do a thing about it now.

Oh, she grinned... I don't want you to do anything, I just want to talk about it.
