Police: Woman sexually assaulted for dating black male

RIVERDALE - Police are searching for two men who a white woman said abducted and raped her because she was dating a black man. <br> <br> The woman, 36, said she stopped at a traffic light about 8:30 a.m. on New Year&#39;s Day near Southern Regional Medical Center, when two white men in a pickup truck pulled up behind her. <br> <br> One jumped into her vehicle, held a sharp object to her throat and ordered her to drive, Riverdale police detective Brad Guest said Friday. <br> <br> ``This, in my opinion, is a pure hate crime. It&#39;s pure torture,&#39;&#39; Guest said. <br> <br> The woman, who recently moved to metro Atlanta from Florida, said she drove for hours with the pickup following before being ordered to drive onto a dirt road. Then she was pulled from her vehicle by her hair and raped. <br> <br> She told police her attackers mentioned the man she was dating by name, and shouted racial slurs as they assaulted her repeatedly. <br> <br> Eventually one of the woman&#39;s attackers drove her to a dirt road in rural southeast Henry County and threw her out of her vehicle, which was found abandoned nearby. The woman ran through the woods to a nearby house and called police.
