It should also be noted that just two weeks after the raping of a white woman at Central park by black and hispanic teenagers, a black woman was raped and thrown off a building by three black men. (Duru,2004)Although equally gruesome and horrible, the case drew less attention and outrage from the public as the raping at Central Park. Both women were victims of sexual assault, but since the white women was attack by colored males the assailants were branded as “wolves” and “wildings”, while the black women attacked by black men were barely thought of by the public, and received significantly less outrage from the public. The raping at Central Park drew so much publicity that Ed Koch the mayor of New York City at the time ,even commented and called the five teenagers “wolves” from a “wolf pack”, expressing the public’s acceptance that the Central Park five were the beasts that attacked and raped Trisha Meili.(Duru,2004) Trisha Meili’s rape drew attention nationwide, Donald Trump even paid $85,000 for full- page ads on four newspapers to called for the return of the death penalty, days after the news of Trisha rape broke out.(Burns,2016)
Aileen Wuornos was found out and convicted with the death sentence; even if her sanity was questioned she was executed by lethal injection in 2002. On the psychological side of the scale, both Nature and Nurture are present in this case. Aileen had a very bad upbringing being abused, and abandoned which in tow would seem as if the nurture of her past drove her over the edge to commit those murders, but on the biological side of things her dad had some sort of problems as well, her father being a child molester that it could be argued that he gave her traits of being a molester, through heredity. This being said, in this case both nature and nurture had some play in part to why Aileen Wuornos became a serial

Eventually their “flirtatious” relationship escalated to a “single-sexual encounter” on or about October 3, 1991. The relationship was brought to light by the parents of the child henceforth urging Mr. Kimball to plead guilty to one count of statutory rape in 1992, where the judge then imposed a withheld judgment with a three year probation. After that, Mr. Kimball was accordingly put on the Sex Offender Registry.
