Moments later, the victims called the police and told them they had been robbed and attacked.

The victim walked to a nearby house, and after approximately 10 minutes of conversation, called the police at 7:22 p.m.

In two cases the victims called their significant other before- hand.

All those victims, and not a single person called to account.

"The surviving victim called a friend by cellphone and told what happened," the sheriff said.

The victim went to her apartment and called the police.

Some later sued the states for what one victim called "sexual murder."

The victim went to a nearby pay phone and called for help, the police said.

After they fled on foot, the victim drove to her home and called the police.

Experts in domestic violence say the police sometimes fail to make an arrest because victims call for help but refuse to press charges.
