To the 4 Skateboarders Who Tried to Save a Girl — Just 15 Years Old — From Being Raped in Public

When he took her back into that nearby stairwell, thank you for following him to check on her.

And when you discovered the “worst in somebody” unfold before your very eyes and saw him sexually assaulting that 15-year-old girl against the stairs, thank you for not letting him get away.

Like true heroes, three of you ran after her attacker and one of you stayed behind to comfort the helpless young teen shaken with fear at the brutal loss of her innocence.

You can’t take away what happened to her, but you can show her that for every Brock Turner, there is a Swede on a bike waiting to come to her rescue.

“I’m so sorry.

You are not just ’20 minutes of action.’ You are not some girl at a party. You are not alone in your fight.

In a society that encourages casual sex, demeaning women, and rape culture, thank you for showing us that there are still good men out there.

Still today, you stand unforgotten, as unsung heroes.

Thank you for doing the right thing, being a protector for the defenseless, and for being the voice that said “NO” when hers was not loud enough.

Gratefully,

Kelsey
