SeattleCrime.com is reporting a strange incident last month, just released in an SPD report. Apparently a woman told police she was attacked by a man inside his Interbay apartment, in the 3800 block of 14th Ave W, on January 27 after she refused to sleep with him. According to SeattleCrime.com, the police report noted that the woman had been recently arrested for prostitution and is currently homeless. The records state that the woman went with the man to a party at his apartment that evening, later sleeping on his couch. She told police that the man, described as a white male wearing an eye patch, woke her in the during the night and put “his thing in [her] face”, kicking and punching her when she “wouldn’t put out.” Police took the woman’s report and attempted to contact the man at his apartment, but were unable to find him.

Why is it important that the police noted she'd been arrested previously for prostitution? Last time I checked, even prostitutes had the right to say no and be free of sexual assault.

Yes, this story is very scary. It is not somehow less of an issue because she may or may not be a sex worker or may be homeless. Violence against sex workers and the poor is most often overlooked by both police and members of their communities as though it is somehow less terrible.
I also think it's interesting that they have narrowed down the man's identity to living at the 3800 block of 14th ave w and wearing an eye patch… There can't be many of them, right?

That must have been one ugly dude, to get a “no” from a homeless street walker.
