Police say that the offense happened on the girl's way home from a high school football game.
Baldwin Borough police have accused Jamal Tompkins, 22, of 433 Zara St. in Pittsburgh’s Knoxville neighborhood, and two male juveniles of raping a mentally disabled teenager in a vacant apartment at Baldwin’s Leland Point Apartments complex on her way home from a high school football game last September. Baldwin police detective Anthony Cortazzo said that the 17-year-old victim knew at least one of the three males charged in connection with the rape. Because the victim is mentally disabled, she is not able to legally consent to sex, Cortazzo said, which led to Tompkins being charged with rape of a mentally disabled person and involuntary deviate sexual intercourse with a mentally disabled person. Based on victim testimony, Cortazzo said, …

Police track down Jamal Tompkins, who may have attacked a juvenile in September 2010.
(Read here for updated charges.) The Baldwin Borough Police Department finally got their man. Nearly 11 months after Baldwin police say that Jamal Tompkins, now 22, raped a 17-year-old girl in Baldwin's Leland Point Apartments complex, Tompkins has been tracked down in Erie, PA, and brought back to Allegheny County, where he will face nine criminal charges.
