Prostitute Finally Gets Justice in Rape Case

Prostitutes are people too!

From The New York Post:

When a Manhattan prostitute cried rape in 2006, cops at first did not believe her, leaving the rapist free to rape a second woman two years later.

But today, a jury believed the prostitute, and she saw justice. Her attacker, Kevin Rios, was convicted of raping and robbing the terrified woman during a knifepoint attack during a trick-turned-nightmare in a West Side parking lot.

"You're a hooker -- I can kill you and no one would even care," the pretty victim had testified that Rios, 23 of Spanish Harlem, taunted her while he and a never-captured accomplice raped her in her minivan.

Only when Rios was linked to the 2008 knifepoint rape of a Harlem babysitter -- by DNA from the prostitute's crime scene -- did cops track her down and prosecute, according to law enforcement sources.

"That poor babysitter didn't have to be raped -- if the detectives had done their job," said one source familiar with the crime. Other sources said the prostitute suffered from initial drug and "availability" issues.

Rios is currently serving 15-to-life on the babysitter's rape, and this second conviction could help him never get parole.
