Prostitute loses baby after attack by two men
‘Attackers were of eastern European appearance’
A prostitute suffered a miscarriage after she was attacked by two male customers who wanted their money back.
The 29-year-old woman was attacked by the pair after performing sex acts with them at an industrial estate off Oldham Road in Manchester on October 19.
The pair agreed to drive her to a friend’s house but stopped the car on Riverport Road, Openshaw, at around 9 p.m. where one of the men demanded his money back and attacked her.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said the woman panicked and handed back the money before the other man joined in and dragged her out of the car, kicking her and leaving her at the roadside.
The spokesman said: “The victim did not know she was pregnant, and a few days later she miscarried.
“Police are investigating whether the miscarriage was caused by the attack.”
The pair were driving a white estate-type car. Both were described as being of eastern European appearance.
The driver was described as about 21-years-old, 5ft 6in tall, medium build, with short brown hair, a thin face with high cheekbones.
The passenger was of a similar age but slightly taller, with short blonde hair, a slim face and had a scar in the middle of his forehead.
Detective Sergeant Jerry Pointon said: “This was a disgusting and cowardly attack on a vulnerable woman.
“We desperately need to catch these men before they target anyone else, so I would appeal to anyone who has information to come forward.
“I understand that many sex workers may be worried about contacting police when they are the victims of crime because they think that, due to the nature of their work, they will not be believed.

@dear Philip,
A relatively recent study in the States concluded that 100% of inmates, in that particular year, on death row (awaiting execution) for alleged murders came from homes where their father was absent, not known, disenfranchised by the system…
There’s no doubt that some children from single parent families are absolutely amazing, high achieving students, especially the very few raised by single fathers, but all current statistics and research show that children with fathers in the home are less likely to;
Indulge in underage sex, prostitution, drop out of school, commit violent crimes , abuse alcohol/ drugs, be unemployed, work menial jobs, become single parents, or become dependant on welfare…
“It takes two to tango and have a child, but it takes a whole village to raise one.”

Dear S Atlamyob
So are you implementing that a single parent can't raise children properly? What if in a happily married couple, one of the parent dies in an accident at work when 2 children are only 1 year old? Can't the single parent raise them and they excel in life?
I agree that the ideal situation is to have both parents there but that don't mean that a single parent can't do the job.
May all the genuine single parents find the support and guidance needed from the state and their family and friends. May the society look up at them and praise them.

I'm a peaceful and loving man and usually don’t concede to violence, but before us is a case that has all the earmarks of what can happen to kids who grow up without discipline and proper guidance from BOTH parents, and in this particular individuals, a good whooping across the backside,.
My sympathy to the young lady and unborn child :^(
