Police reports show a teenager punched her alleged attacker in the genitals to stop a sexual assault.

The Oklahoma City Police Department reports that on May 29 officers were contacted by a set of parents stating their 16-year-old daughter had been sexually assaulted.

The parents told police that their daughter was friend with a girl and had asked to stay over at her residence in the 4100 block of S. Robinson.

At some point during the night, several men arrived and began partying at the home.

The friend also said that no one was in the home and she would lock the door behind her.

Police reports show Rivera was holding the girl down and began to sexually assault her.

Police were then notified and Rivera was later arrested on a complaint of rape by instrumentation. »

These halos comprise high concentrations of silica and indicate that liquid groundwater flowed through the rocks in Gale crater longer than previously believed.

The discovery of light-toned bedrock – called ‘halos’ – with high concentrations of silica in Mars’ Gale crater, reveals that groundwater persisted once the lake in Gale crater dried up.

This study shows that liquid water was present in the sub-surface of Gale crater for much longer than previously thought, which expands the window in which life could potentially have evolved on Mars Featured image courtesy of ESA/DLR/FU Berlin. »
