An 81-year-old woman was awakened in her bed by a man who broke into her Southwest Philadelphia home. The man beat and raped the elderly woman for two hours, police say.
The attack happened the night of Sept. 19 in the woman’s house on the 1300 block of South 51st Street, where the elderly woman has lived for 51 years.
“Perpetrator said, 'don't look at me!' My mother looked so he beat her before he did whatever he did,” a family member told USA LOCAL NEWS. “He stayed in that house for two hours.”
Police say that the man entered the home through a side window and then left through the back door.
The victim’s son and daughter told USA LOCAL NEWS that the attacker beat their mother in the face, busted her lip, and choked her until she almost died.
Although their mother’s physical wounds are healing, emotionally she's got a long road to recovery.
"She's completely embarrassed about what has happened, that's her feelings about it,” her daughter says. “She hasn't told us everything but the things she's told us were brutal."
