A woman staying at the Disney’s Pop Century resort escaped from an attempted rape at the resort. The woman was walking along a path at the resort around 5:50 p.m. when a man knocked her into some tall bushes. He then reached into her pockets and attempted to steal her room key. She escaped and woke her husband how was sleeping in her room a few minutes later. The husband had the hotel staff call 911 and ran to search for the attacker. 11 sheriff’s patrol cars were seen searching the area of the resort after the attack. The attacker was described as being tall, light skinned black man weighing 190 pounds and being around 40 to 50 years old.

Maybe you should get all your facts straight before you post something on the internet. The husband did not call 911. She also did not have her key snatched. So please dont post false information

Thanks for the correction, it has been updated. I misread the sourced article. I guess i shouldn’t try and do the news while watching Dirty Jobs… hrm

Maybe you should learn some manners before you post something to the internet.

If you know every thing about the story why did you read it here?

Maybe mr. get your facts straight should give everyone a break…

Nice…. we were staying at Pop Century when this happened. We came back from Animal Kingdom (after NOT getting killed on Everest) and there were 10+ cop cars and cops all over the place. Nobody would tell us what was going on. Nice to know my wife and kids and I were around the pool 2 hours after this happened. And that my wife and daughter walked back to the room by themselves an hour before myself and my youngest walked back…. Really farking great that Disney lets everyone go about their business with an attempted rapist running around.

Correction…. we were at the pool one hour after this happened (not 2). And my wife and kids went down to the pool before me… by themselves… right to the location of an attempted rape one hour after it happened.

I get madder the more I think about this….

I was there and wondered what all those cops were there for! Scary!

we were also stayin at pop century when this happened. my brother said there were many cops outside the hotel that night.
