Clearly this isn't the first time he has physically assaulted a girl is it?
I highly doubt it, given that this seemed to be a pattern.
Did you notice this part of the article:
She explained that a crazy man with long hair was in the bathroom...
I am not incorporating the rest of the passage, as it's so upsetting. My question is, am I reading too much into it if I wonder about the "long hair" part?
