Daytona Beach has been the spring
break capitol of Florida for a long time but a disturbing report by the
Associated Press today has to have some wondering if it is a safe
environment. According to the AP in just the first week of spring break
in Daytona Beach six rapes have been reported. Four of the alleged
sexual assaults took place behind the same beachfront restaurant.

Of the six reported rapes, two took place at a resort and spa and
the other four, as mentioned above, behind a popular restaurant. So far
just one person has been arrested in connection with a
rape. According to
police the number of rapes reported usually rises in the month of March
due to the amount of spring breakers in town. The AP reports there were
41 sexual assaults last year.
