Woman reports attack at Hunter Park similar to recent Tukey Mountain rape

Hunter park Slides at Hunter Park (Staff)

For the second time this week, a woman has reported she was attacked at an area park.

Police say the victim reported she was attacked Thursday evening at Hunter Park in south Tulsa. The information she gave police was similar to a recent reported rape at Turkey Mountain late Monday night.

This happened as city leaders addressed the recent Turkey Mountain incident.

It was recently announced that more security cameras are being added to Turkey Mountain.

Tulsa police say they aren’t ruling out that it could be the same suspect.

Laurel Roberts, Tulsa’s Public Safety Commissioner, made a statement about the recent assaults saying, “The recent assaults on our community, specifically in our parks systems, are unacceptable and cannot happen in our city. The Mayor’s Office supports and stands with the Tulsa Police Department and our law enforcement partners to bring these heinous acts of violence to an end and the perpetrators to justice.”

Anna America, Tulsa Parks Director, also commented on the Hunter Park assault, “We are deeply disturbed by the recent incident at Hunter Park and our hearts go out to the victim. We commend the victim’s courage during this terrifying situation, and are thankful for those who called 911. Tulsa Parks is cooperating fully with law enforcement as they conduct their investigation. We take the safety of our visitors very seriously and will continue working with our partners to support a safe environment in our parks.”

Tulsa Police are actively investigating both the Hunter Park and Turkey Mountain incidents and encourage anyone with information about the suspects or events to contact the Tulsa Police Department Special Victim’s Unit at (918) 596-9168, or by email at specialvictimsunit@cityoftulsa.org. You can also always remain anonymous and call Tulsa Crime Stoppers at (918) 596-COPS.
