Six Sexual Assaults occured in Daytona Beach the first week of Spring Break!

Every year I speak to hundreds and sometimes thousands of young High School and College women but the crime of sexual assault and drug facilitated sexual assault continue to raise at an alarming rate.

There have been six reported rapes in Daytona Beach during spring break, all of which occurred in one week.

Daytona Beach police said the reported rapes happened the first week of spring break. One person has been arrested in connection with a rape, while authorities search for the other suspects.

One attack happened at a resort and spa. Another four occurred behind a popular beachfront restaurant and one on the mainland.

In the most recent attack, which occurred on Sunday, a 37-year-old woman was pulled into the men's bathroom at the Ocean Center and assaulted during an electronics trade show.

Police said reported rapes usually increase in March because of vacationers on spring break.
Last year, there were 41 sexual assaults in Daytona Beach, police said.
