After Assault
In Hollywood

HOLLYWOOD "a 14-year-old
girl clad only in a brassiere was
found bound and unconscious in
front of the Baptist Church last
night, the victim of attempted
rape.
Sheriff Amos Hall Of Broward
County who investigated said he
did not think there was any con-
nection between the attempted at
tack and the kidnap-slaying Of Ju-
dith Ann Roberts, 7, in Miami on
July Z.
"They aren't the same type of
crime" he said. "The man who
tried to assault the girl here was
not a sadist."
Hall said the 14-year-old girl was
not raped and wasn't harmed ex-
cept for the gag in her mouth
and around her throat.
He quoted her as saying she
was walking home from 4 girl
friends house about $40 pm.
(EST) when she noticed a man in
black car following her.
In front of the church, she said,
the man got out of the car and
threatened her with a gun. He
forced her to the rear of the
church, ripped off her pedal push
ers and blouse, tied her hands and
feet and gagged her.
Hall said that after the man LEFT
the girl said she crawled around
the front of the church and then
lost consciousness.
