HPD says otherwise - no rapes - and given the amount of security at the shelters, I would be very surprised. There have been six *attempted* rapes, but no successful (!) ones.
Who is HPD?
They are misinformed.
We have seen interviews with people leaving the shelters who said that children and women were raped. Some of the stories told to relief workers and recounted here were quite detailed.
All of the reporters on the ground in NO on FNC have discussed the fact that children, young girls and women have been raped.
Well, Aaron Broussard demanded to let the people in to see their destroyed homes.
Generator fumes kill one, sicken six

One man died and six other people were severely poisoned with carbon monoxide from running an electricity generator inside a Harvey home, Jefferson Parish officials said Monday.
The identities of the victims were not available. The survivors were taken to West Jefferson Medical Center.
Robert Wilson, assistant chief of the Marrero-Ragusa Volunteer Fire Department, said he saw four generators in the home at 2316 Alex Korman Blvd., in the Woodmere subdivision.
Wilson said dead man was in his 50s and, judging from the condition of the body, might have died as early as Friday. Because carbon monoxide poisoning impairs mental functions, he said, the other occupants of the house might not have realized that the man was dead.
Deano Bonano, deputy chief administrative assistant to Jefferson Parish President Aaron Broussard, said sheriff's deputies originally thought that all seven people in the home were dead. But emergency medical technicians found signs of life and sent the six survivors to the hospital.
Parish officials say the incident was the latest of several deaths caused by carbon monoxide poisoning. Portable generators should never be placed inside a home or an enclosed area, they said.
