” The Times does not identify victims of sexual assault. One of the victims previously told The Times that she was out on a walk that night to reach her 10,000 daily step goal and did not suspect the area to be dangerous. She plans to carry pepper spray and is considering getting a dog for more protection, she told The Times. She suffered serious injuries, including at least eight fractures to her jaw, a large laceration to the back of her head and facial bruising.
