On August 18, 2006, seven young African American lesbians traveled to
the West Village from their homes in Newark for a regular night out.When walking down the street, a male bystander assaulted them with sexist and homophobic comments. The women tried to defend themselves,
and a fight broke out. Thus began the women's nightmare for almost a
year. Three of the women accepted plea offers. On June 14th, 2007
Venice Brown (19), Terrain Dandridge (20), Patreese Johnson (20), and
Renata Hill (24) received sentences ranging from 3 ? to 11 years in prison.
