The gang rape of the Sixteen-year-old Mary Jane Hicks occurred on 9 September 1886. While
walking to a city employment registry, she was offered a lift by Charles Sweetman, the driver of
a hansom cab, who instead drove her in his cab to what is now the Moore Park area, then an
isolated piece of bushland in the suburb of Waterloo and called Mount Rennie. He attempted to
molest her in the cab but she screamed for help. Two young men approached and took her out of
the cab, purporting to save her from disgrace. The young men walked her to a different isolated
location where they were joined by several others, some of whom began to take turns in raping
her. The girl's screaming was heard by a passer-by, William Stanley, who attempted to rescue
her but was driven off by the gang with bricks, stones and bottles. Stanley ran to distant Redfern
police station to report the case and they interrupted the crime that was still in progress, but were
unable to apprehend any of the fleeing offenders. Twelve men were identified and eventually
arrested, including Charles Sweetman.
In the early morning hours of August 12, 2012, two high school football players, Trent Mays and
Ma'lik Richmond, raped a 16-year-old girl from Weirton, West Virginia. According to trial
transcripts, at about midnight the intoxicated victim left a party with four football players. They
went to a second party where the victim vomited and appeared "out of it". The same group left
after about 20 minutes, and headed to the home of one of the witnesses. In the backseat of the car
during the 15-minute trip, her shirt was removed and Trent Mays digitally penetrated the victim's
vagina and exposed her breasts while his friends filmed and photographed her. In the basement
of the house, Mays attempted to orally rape the victim by forcing his penis into her mouth. Now
unconscious, she was stripped naked and the second accused, Ma'lik Richmond, also digitally
penetrated the victim's vagina. She was again photographed. Three witnesses took the photos
back to the second party and shared them with friends. On March 17, 2013, Trent Mays and
Ma'lik Richmond were convicted of rape after the trial judge found they had used their fingers to
digitally penetrate the victim's vagina and that it was impossible for the incapacitated girl to have
given consent

Effects of Rape
Physical effects of rape can arise from both forced sexual assault and those not involving forcible
submission, such as drug assisted date rape. Forced sexual assault frequently causes visible
bruising or bleeding in and around the vaginal or anal area and bruises on other parts of the body
from coercive violence. But both forced and other types of rape can have many other physical
consequences:
• Painful intercourse (with significant other)
• Urinary infections
• Uterine fibroids – non-cancerous tumors in muscle wall
• Pregnancy
• Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) – HIV, genital warts, syphilis, gonorrhea,
chlamydia, and others
Psychological Effects of Rape
Victims experience both short and long-term psychological effects of rape. One of the most
common psychological consequences of rape is self-blame. Victims use self-blame as an
avoidance-based coping tool. Self-blame slows or, in many cases, stops the healing process.
Other common emotional and psychological effects of rape include:
