But the attacks on the two women apparently got no publicity even as a local news item here in the D.C. area.

What? How'd you miss DOJ press release: District man pleads guilty in two separate Rock Creek Park assaults

The Salvadoran on the grassy knoll?

I did do a google search on Guandeque's name and "Rock Creek Park," and that search found two DOJ press releases, the one you linked and another. It found nothing else. The media seem to have responded to that press release by reporting nothing.

As I know from my own experience when I was beaten with baseball bats by a black gang at a Metro station outside D.C. and tried and failed to get the media to report it, there are certain crimes that the media will not report. From the address where he lived, I surmise Guandeque is black or Hispanic. His two assault victims are apparently white. That may be why the media wouldn't report their assaults. Or maybe there's a policy not to report minor crimes occurring in Rock Creek Park.

I was being facetious. You've done a fine job over the years and I appreciate the work you've done.

I found it odd that the DOJ had a press release about a relatively "low-level" crime. Is the Rock Creek Park a fed. park? If not, why the press release from the DOJ?
