PrintA Queens woman was raped in the Midtown nightclub where Plaxico Burress last year accidentally shot himself -- but managed to summon help via text message, The Post has learned.
Leroy Benros, 26, of Yonkers, met the victim, 22, at 3:40 a.m. Saturday at the Latin Quarter at Lexington Avenue and 48th Street, cops said.
When Benros allegedly forcibly kissed the woman, she rattled off a text to a friend reading: "I'm being molested. Help."
But by the time the friend and another pal found her, she was partially naked underneath a coat with her eyes closed and her arms dangling as Benros raped her, authorities said.
One of the friends yanked the victim away, sources said, and Benros was charged with rape.

It really sucks that you had to use Plaxico Burress name in this sad situation involving a girl who almost or got raped so that your story could reach headline news. First, of all this is not even Plaxico's Club. What comes around goes around... I'll pray for you. How is the girl doing? If your going to report the facts... report them... Plaxico had nothing to do with situation. You better hope next time something comes up nobody just throws your name into it.

Here's why you should be home in bed at 3:40 a.m. and not out meeting strangers at bars.

No one here is looking for a Nobel on literature... just take what people are trying to express...Just the content of it. I am sure that many people can not write as well as you do but some are able to write (not to well) in more then one language....What about you.

Even if the woman stripped naked, does that give anyone the right to force sex on her? The article says she texted a friend in the club that she was being molested, not that she texted while being rsped. The friends found & rescued her. I doubt Kimo is a woman, just a friend of Leroy. Even if Kimo was there, he or she should have spoken with the police at the scene & should call the DA's office & the defense attorney today!
