Bellevue police searching for knife-wielding rapist
BELLEVUE, Wash. -- Bellevue police are investigating a rape that took place Tuesday night inside a local business.
The victim called police just before 10 p.m. to report the crime. She said a man came in for a massage and then raped her at knife point.
Police have not released the name of the business, which is located in the 15200 block of NE 20th Street, but they did say the man had been there before.
The woman was taken to a local hospital to be checked out.
Police are now looking for a white man in his mid 40s who stands roughly 6'1 tall and has dark hair. The victim said the man was dressed in a business suit and was armed with a knife.

Ummm - a "massage" at 10:00 pm at night? Wow! They're really accommodating. While I still feel badly for any victim of rape, I suspect all the facts have yet to come out on this case.

And I do hope the perp gets the knife used on him in a very selective manner...
 @RobertinSeattle I am sitting here having my morning coffee and reading this story. The first thing that comes to my mind is my very good friend who is an LMP and just started working at a new place in Seattle area (I don't know where yet!)- she isn't a prostitute as you are possibly implying the woman in this story is. If this turns out to be my friend, I will be as devastated as she is. Whomever she is, she does not need to see anyone commenting that she did something to promote her own rape. Apologies if that is not where you were going, but it's what I thought you were implying.
Sounds like another candidate for a frontal lobe labotomy.

@Ey777c Wow, that made a whole lot of sense. :/
@Ey777c What a lame thing to say...you may not like the company or it's products but it's a whole other thing to disparage the employees that way. Grow up.
@Ey777c not in a business suit....
Outlaw knives!
 @jelisized I really hope you are joking.
 @Zoso  @jelisized If he had held her at gun point we would be hearing a lot more comments like that about guns.
 @DarkParty Yeah I just submitted my feedback asking them to bring the edit option back.
 @two loons  @Zoso  @jelisized Crowded, stupid commenting system with no edit!
 @two loons  @Zoso  @jelisized I think it's crowed on both sides of the fence on this site.
 @DarkParty  @Zoso  @jelisized jelisized is making a gun control stab here. There seems to be a rabid anti-gun gontrol presence on this site that rears it's head every chance it gets.
anybody who thinks gun control is really about the guns is a moron. it's about control.
 @DarkParty  @Zoso  @jelisized Very true. Where are the anti-gun folks now? This woman was raped and it was a knife that allowed the perp to get away with it. Not an evil gun. Wait, maybe its PEOPLE who are the problem, not the weapons available to us...
