My sister-in-law has a sister-in-law, and she has a sister named Sarah who is a graduate student at Columbia University.

Pray for Sarah, she is in the hospital because Friday night she was followed home to her apartment, and over a 12-15 hour period she was raped, assaulted, and tortured.

She is suffering from severe chemical burns on her face and eyes due to a bleach like substance thrown in her face, presumably to prevent her from identifying the attacker. Doctors say that had she not been wearing contact lenses, she would be blind now.

She was also force fed Tylenol until she overdosed. Doctors have treated that, and they say her blood levels are doing allright, but the enzyme levels in her liver are still too high, and if they don't come down soon she will need a liver transplant.

Police plan on charging the attacker with assault, sexual assault, kidnapping, arson, and attempted murder.

However, the attacker is still at large.
 
OMG ! how tragic

Many prayers for Sarah I pray she heals inside and out. it will be a long road for her and I also pray for her family and friends for strength to help her through this.
 
The NYPD have arrested their primary suspect in the attack.

Link to AP story

I didn't have all the details in my first post, he held her for 19 hours, not 12. And he bound her to her futon and set it on fire before leaving. She was able to grab a towel with her feet, set it on fire, and use the flames to burn through the cords holding her to the futon. She then was able to run to a neighbor and get help.

Doctors are saying she is going to make a full recovery physically, and it doesn't look like she will need a liver transplant afterall.

But it is just now starting to really hit her emotionally, and she'll have a long road ahead of her in that regard...
 
The main suspect has been indicted on 71 counts, faces life in prison.

He's pleading not guilty.
 
Hoping for the best for this associate of yours & will reserve commentary on the "alleged" scum...
