A pair of Chicago teens were assessed just one misdemeanor charge each after they and others allegedly attacked a couple so brutally that their female victim suffered a miscarriage.
On Friday evening, a 41-year-old woman identified only as Nina was walking home with her husband after going out on a date. Nina had taken advantage of the opportunity to look nice for her husband, donning a dress and heels for the occasion.
'We believe in faith, and it wasn't meant to be. So, we don't know why this happened to us.'
At about 8:30 p.m., the couple reached the intersection of Grand Avenue and McClurg Court in the Streeterville neighborhood when suddenly a group of teens allegedly jumped them from behind. "Everything happened from behind us. First, someone approached him and punched him in the head," Nina said of her husband.
Her husband implored Nina to run, but the assailants prevented her escape. One girl allegedly dragged Nina to the ground and pulled on her hair with such force that she tore chunks of hair out of Nina's scalp.
"I start screaming, she started pepper-spraying me right in the face, in the eyes," Nina claimed.
Nina also sustained repeated punches and kicks to her stomach. When her husband attempted to protect her, the gang descended upon him, and Nina estimated to FOX 32 that "over 10 people" held him down.
The suspects ran away after police arrived on the scene. However, officers managed to nab two teens — a 14-year-old boy and a 17-year-old girl — believed to have been involved in the assault. Both have been assessed just one count of misdemeanor battery and are no longer in police custody.
Alderman Brian Hopkins has since contacted the state's attorney's office, hoping that the charges will be upgraded to a felony. "Both victims suffered extensive injuries," he noted to FOX 32.
Indeed, they did. In fact, there was apparently a third victim in the attack as Nina was a couple of weeks' pregnant at the time. She later learned she had lost the baby.
"We believe in faith, and it wasn't meant to be. So, we don't know why this happened to us," she said.
Nina and her husband are still trying to make sense of the attack against them since there seemed to be no motive for it. "They didn't steal anything. They say like, 'We own the street. We own the street. You can't walk around,'" she recalled.
"They dragged my dress on the ground, and they said, like, 'We own the street. You can’t just walk around prancing in your little dress.' And they were saying things that just didn't make any sense to me because they don't know me personally."
Police told FOX 32 that the incident remains under investigation. The outlet asked the state's attorney's office whether other charges might be forthcoming but did not receive a response.

'My husband and I are heartbroken': Actress and singer says that she 'performed on stage for 2000 people while having a miscarriage'
Actress and singer Laura Benanti, a Tony Award winner, revealed that she recently performed while experiencing a miscarriage.
Benanti noted that she was aware of the miscarriage prior to the performance.
"On Monday April 3rd, I performed on stage for 2000 people while having a miscarriage. I knew it was happening. It started slowly the night before. If it had been our first loss, or even our second, I likely wouldn’t have been able to go on. But unfortunately, I am not a stranger to the pain and emptiness of losing a pregnancy. It is a path I have walked before, hand in hand with my husband," she wrote in an Instagram post.
"But this time we walked it alongside some of the kindest, most loving humans I will ever have the honor to share space with. Thank you to everyone in that audience for the grace your presence allowed. For lifting me out of my grief for that Holy hour. Thank you to my band for holding me, unconditionally, in your hearts, and to the crew for working so hard to make me as comfortable as possible. Thank you to my friends and fellow performers for rallying around me and so graciously accommodating my changing needs," Benanti wrote.
"My husband and I are heartbroken but we will move through this together as we, and so many others, have done before. I share all of this, not to garner sympathy or attention, but to remind the many people and families who have and will suffer in this way that there is no shame in this kind of loss. That you are not alone. And to remind myself as well," Benanti said.
The woman and her husband, Patrick Brown, have two children, including one who was born through a surrogate last year.
"Patrick and I are so grateful for the family that we have, and the miracle of our two little girls. One carried by me and one carried by an angel-on-earth," Benati wrote.

Stop Calling My Miscarriage An Abortion
I had a miscarriage, not an abortion, and here’s why I’m angry about those who aren’t making that distinction.'My baby's heart had stopped beating': Jessa Seewald, who had a D&C after a miscarriage, issues statement after leftists suggest she had an abortion
Jessa Seewald, who is one of the more than a dozen children of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, has publicly disclosed that she suffered a miscarriage and underwent a dilation and curettage procedure.
But after revealing the devastating loss, the grieving mother has issued what appears to be a response to those who seized upon the tragic news to suggest that she had undergone an abortion.
"There's a world of difference between someone dying and someone being killed. To equate one to the other— and to a mother grieving the loss of her baby no less— is severely distasteful. There is a world of difference between a mortician and a murderer. Even a child understands the difference between the two," Seewald noted in a post on her Instagram story.
"Women have D&C's for many reasons, not all of which involve killing a living human being. The ultrasound revealed I had a missed miscarriage. My baby's heart had stopped beating 3 weeks before I had a D&C. (Btw, this was not my first D&C— it was my second. My first was 2 weeks postpartum Ivy's birth for retained placenta.)" she wrote. "Each person is created 'in the image of God' (Gen 1:27), and to purposefully destroy a baby in the womb is an affront to the God who created that life."
Seewald had posted a video discussing the tragic loss of her unborn baby, and noted that she underwent a D&C, but some leftists pounced on the news to suggest that the pro-life Christian woman got an abortion.
A Jezebel headline reads, "Jessa Duggar Seewald Had an Abortion, Even If She Won't Say the Word," while a Parade headline declares, "Jessa Duggar Reveals She Had a Life-Saving Abortion in Emotional New Video."
Jessa and her husband Ben Seewald have four other children together.
