Simmons, Sharpton to Host Trenton Rally for 7-Year-old Rape Victim

A peace rally for the seven-year-old Trenton, NJ girl who was gang raped in the city will be held on Saturday (April 10) with Russell Simmons, Rev. Al Sharpton and the PeaceKeepers scheduled to attend.

The seven-year old victim was allegedly sold for sexual favors by her 15-year-old sister, who has been charged in the case along with the five men accused of raping the seven-year-old during a party on March 28.

There were reports that Jay-Z was part of the “Stop the Violence” rally organizers with Simmons and Dennis Muhammad’s PeaceKeepers group, but the rapper’s attendance has not been confirmed.

Yesterday, Trenton Mayor Douglas H. Palmer said he would not attend the rally, which is taking place at the Lighthouse Outreach Ministry.
