The victim told police she was walking in the 1600 block of Nashville when she was abducted by a man in a white four-door sedan around 6:20 p.m., according to a news release from the New Orleans Police Department. Her assailant drove her to a spot near Walnut Street and Leake, by the river, and raped her in the car, then took her to another location near General Pershing and South Prieur in Broadmoor and raped her again, the report states. Finally, he took her to South Broad and Palmyra in Mid-City, took her cash and dropped her off, the report states.
