The Occupy Wall Street encampment in Zuccotti Park has had to deal with its share of undesirable behavior, from uncooperative drummers to a drug-related arrest, but Wednesday saw the most serious criminal allegations yet, as a volunteer in the encampment's kitchen has been arrested for sexual assault and rape.

The 26-year-old volunteer, a Crown Heights man named Tonye Iketubosin, was known in the kitchen as Tonye Parks, one cooking colleague told Gothamist. "He was a genuinely nice guy...he came to get (stuff) done," kitchen volunteer Beau Sibbing told the news blog. But after two different women reported he had raped one and groped another, his fellow volunteers told him to leave.

Gee...I’m shocked that anything like this could happen in a big-city commune camp-out. :eyeroll:

All these women in the OWS think their vaginas are 1% /S

Reminds me of what the Panthers said in the 60’s.

I’m not in favor of Old Testament rape law, but it does seem like if there’s one place a woman ought to be able to scream and be heard, it’s a close-packed tent encampment.

Actually, it sounds to me like most of them are very young and impressionable. They are the result of this liberal effed up "education" system that teaches them to accept weirdness so as not to offend the weirdos and/or criminal elements.

They are misguided and I do feel sorry for them, the young ones at least. We're talking about 18 year olds here with minds chock-full of destructive rubbish.

I agree with your assessment. That is a super rude awakening. Why would they not want him locked up? The parents of this nuts need to cut off their credit & put them back in the basement. My kids understand I would cut them off until they. acted like adults. O never mind I don’t have to support my grown children... They work.

Why would this surprise anyone?

Kenyan most likely, and probably another cousin or half brother of the turd-in-chief.

I guess that makes sense. I do get a lot of email from Nigerian princes so I guess I should’ve recognized the name.

Some leftists have vaginas? Hog wallows more like.

Getting stoned and having wild sex can also cause screaming. Those around her, if she screamed, may have chosen to assume it was not the worst case scenario.
The fact that the organizers of OWS are choosing to fight those coming forward could be latent guilt, an effort to minimize the appearance of what they chose to ignore.

Does this mean the poor lad won't get the counseling he was promised?

Thanks drewh. The partisan media shills on MSDNC's Morning Jackoffs had text on the screen (I was exercising with earbuds) for at least three minutes, saying that the must-read op-ed was NYTimes' latest shrill shilling for class warfare. Meanwhile, the past couple of days of the Post:
