In the article and poem, the victim is a Mexican-American woman, who is raped and abused by two assailants. When she recovers from her ordeal, the attorney states that they cannot prosecute the two men for the crime. The reason why they will not prosecute the men for rape is because the woman has an "immoral character" and she does "not speak English." One of the men is still on the run, but the other was already brought in. He pleaded guilty to assault and spent 90 days in jail.
