Rape victim is jailed on old warrant

‘A college student who told police she had been raped was jailed for two days after officers found an old warrant accusing her of failing to pay restitution for a 2003 theft arrest.

While she was behind bars, a jail worker refused to give her a second dose of the morning-after contraceptive pill because of the worker’s religious convictions, the college student’s attorney said.

The 21-year-old woman was released Monday only after attorney Vic Moore reported her plight to the local media.’
