15. that's all it says
"jumped on the hood of her car".
no mention of an attack. nothing about her trying to escape. nothing about being intimidated. doesn't say anything about the nature of their relationship. nothing about what charges may be filed. nothing about what the police determined.

it doesn't say she was being raped, or accosted, or harassed. it says he didn't want her to go, not that she was being held against her will, or that there was any violence involved.

seems that because it was a man on the hood, and the woman driving that many people are assuming the worst of the man with nothing to indicate that this was violent or non-consentual.

maybe there are other details not mentioned in this little blurb. could be the possible charge is DUI, and the police are awaiting a blood test to file charges. maybe the guy was trying to stop his friend from driving drunk or stoned? based on the lack of details, you might assume she was stealing his car. i don't thinks its hard to imagine he jumped on the hood as a joke, she took it to the next level and thought it would be a good laugh to dump her friend on his ass in the middle of the street.

why assume the worst of the man based on a couple vague sentences?
