At a Walmart in the United States, customers prevented the attempted assault on a woman.
According to the victim, the suspect attempted to rape her while she was shopping.
In the United States, cases of violence against men have been on the decline, while cases against women are growing.
At a Walmart in the United States, a subject allegedly tried to rape a woman, but this did not happen thanks to several clients taking action and preventing the sexual assault. Some users have already expressed themselves in this regard and point out the need to share this type of case to make it visible that even in 2022, there are people who can attack you for being a woman.
According to the measurement portal, Statista, in 2019, the number of cases of gender violence is, for men, 1 million 579 thousand 530, while for women it is 1 million 479 thousand 540. Although this could mean that the cases of violence against women are still less than those of men, the truth is that the number of cases in men has been decreasing since 2005, while the number in women has been increasing. This means that it will not be long before the balance tips to the other side.
In short, although the statistics show that the majority of sexual aggressors are people close to the victim, the truth is that this does not mean that a stranger cannot approach a person in a violent manner. And this is what happened at a Walmart in the United States.

Harvey was charged with sexual assault and taken to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center., according to information from CBS 4. “It was not an isolated place. He didn’t care that he was in sight,” Detective Álvaro Zabaleta told the same portal.
It is also known that the aggressor was already on probation when he tried to rape the victim, so the judge prohibited him from approaching the victim and the Walmart chain, in addition to paying a fine of 50,000 US dollars.
The reaction of the users was immediate, because while some mentioned that the victim would have suffered enough to still have to see how his case goes around the world, some others commented on the importance of sharing this type of news for make visible that, even in the middle of 2022, sexual assault continues to happen and, not only that, as Statista points out, it continues to grow year after year.
