Police investigate reported rape

Police are investigating an alleged kidnapping and rape that

occurred Saturday morning in North Laguna.

A woman was allegedly raped and beaten after being kidnapped by

three men, who took her out of Laguna and left her in Irvine, police

said.

Police are calling this a random attack and do not have any leads.

The victim told police she was walking alone at 3 a.m. on Cliff

Drive, near Beverly Street and North Coast Highway, when a man jumped

out of a dark-colored sedan and pulled her inside the car with two

other men, police said.

The car drove off with the woman in the back seat, police said.

The men allegedly took the woman to a remote area and raped and beat

her, police said. At the time, the woman did not know where she was;

police later determined she was driven to an area outside Laguna

Beach, in unincorporated Orange County, police said.

When the woman tried to escape, the men caught her, drove to

another location a short distance away, and raped her again, police

said.

The men then left the woman and fled the scene, police said. The

woman reported seeing lights in the distance, which turned out to be

a security guard shack at the Irvine Regional Park. Though no guards

were inside the shack, the woman found a payphone and called 911.

The woman was taken to a hospital in Orange and treated; her

injuries were not life-threatening, police said. The hospital

notified Laguna Beach Police after details of the abduction surfaced,

police said.

Police are awaiting DNA test results.

Anyone with information is urged to contact Det. Matt August,

(949) 497-0371.
