Woman Abducted, Sexually Assaulted in Seven Corners Area: Police

FAIRFAX COUNTY, VA -- Detectives from Fairfax County's Major Crimes department are investigating the report of an abduction and sexual assault that occurred over the weekend, sometime between 11 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 22 and 2 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 23.

So far, police say their investigation has determined that a 50-year-old woman went to a restaurant in the 5800 block of Columbia Pike, in the Falls Church area, police said Thursday. She met two men there and the three left together in a mini-van similar to an older Honda Odyssey, headed toward Arlington, according to police. Police did not identify the restaurant.

While in the van, both suspects sexually assaulted the victim, police said; the woman told police that a handgun was displayed during the incident.

The suspects took the victim’s phone and forced her out of the car somewhere along Route 50, near South Manchester Street, in the nearby Seven Corners area, about a mile and a half away. The woman was able to flag down a passerby, who then called police.

The victim was taken to a local hospital where she was medically evaluated and released, late Sunday afternoon.
