Two Men Gets Mad At A Young Girl For Rejecting Them And Tried To Take It In Public
On October 1, 2024, in Beyoglu, Istanbul, two men, Semir T (31) and Ömer K (27), assaulted a 23-year-old woman, Iremsan A., as she was walking down the street. The men followed her, cornered her against a wall, and attempted to sessually assault her, as captured on CCTV footage. One of the attackers tried to kiss her before knocking her to the ground and getting on top of her. The woman’s screams alerted bystanders, who intervened.
During the confrontation, one of the suspects attempted to defuse the situation by falsely claiming that the woman was his cousin, saying, “She’s my uncle’s daughter.” Despite this lie, citizens prevented their escape and called the police. Both men, who have extensive criminal records, were arrested but initially released after the woman declined to press charges.
However, after a review of the security footage and public backlash, they were re-arrested
