(Atlanta News First) — A woman was raped by three men, including one wearing a Joker mask, during a Halloween party at a downtown Athens bar, according to a police report. Between late Saturday night and early Sunday morning, a 20-year-old woman said she was at a Halloween-themed event at Duke’s and Dottie’s, a bar and dance club on East Broad Street, when a man wearing a Joker costume offered to buy her a drink, the report from the Athens-Clarke County Police Department says.

When the woman declined the offer, the man grabbed her arm and forced her inside a bathroom, where two other men were waiting. The woman said the three men took turns raping her. After the men left, the woman realized they took her purse, which was carrying her iPhone. The woman got a ride from a friend, whom she told about the assault. The friend drove the victim to a hospital in Barrow County. The Athens police report said the department received a call from Barrow County police about the assault around 4 a.m. Sunday.
