An alleged rape victim has accused a 911 dispatcher of having "zero sympathy" after he told her to "quit crying" while she was reporting the incident of being raped, ABC News reported.
The horrific incident came into light when WSYX asked the Columbus Police Department for a recording of the call that had been placed around 4 a.m. on Sunday.
Just after 4 a.m. last Sunday, the victim contacted a dispatcher in Columbus, Ohio, according to ABC affiliate WSYX.
While she was staying with a friend at a house just off the Ohio State University campus, the victim claimed that she was woken up by a stranger holding a gun to her head and forcing her to perform sex acts on him.
The sobbing woman told the female dispatcher that the man had broken into the house full of sorority girls and left after assaulting her, stealing cash and an iPhone, according to WSYX.
However, the 20-year-old victim confided that she wasn't aware of the friend's address, and asked if the dispatcher could locate where her phone was, according to ABC News.
"No. We can't. That's why I need to know where you are," the dispatcher could be heard saying on the call.
The victim described her attacker as a small white male with a white shirt, and begged the dispatcher to arrest him immediately.
"Ma'am, you're going to have to quit crying so I can get the information from you," the dispatcher told the victim.
When the dispatcher asked the rape victim where the attacker came in, the victim answered: "I have no idea. I have no idea. I have no idea. The back door."
"Well, they're not going to be able to find him with the information that you've given," the dispatcher responded.
By that point, the distraught victim broke down.
"Don't you understand how horrified I am? I am a 20-year-old from Upper Arlington. I don't know what you deal with every day, but the kind of sympathy you have is zero," she told the dispatcher.
The police have arrested and charged Michael Callaghan, 30, with rape and burglary in relation to the attack on the woman.
The dispatcher could have handled the call better and will have his case reviewed, a 911 supervisor told WSYX. But since the victim has been helped and a suspect has been charged, the dispatcher will not be reprimanded.
The Columbus police could not be reached for comment by ABC News.
