Why Didn’t She Yell?

[eve1974]

Firstly I’m NOT doubting that the girl was subject to an unwarranted and unasked for sexual assault…

I’m wondering why she didn’t tell in a crowded seafront?

My thoughts are that many young women are not empowered enough to ask (ie yell!( for help in such a scenario.

Ergo that the same boy who assaulted her felt confident enough to approach her afterwards (ie he likely thinks he’s done no wrong)

It’s an indictment on society and not on the victim.

Why?

Terror most likely.

[Ellipsis]

Out of her depth, maybe not a great swimmer, if she yelled then the easiest way to shut her up would be to push her under and keep her there ... is probably what she thought.

I hope hes found and has his lunchbox cut off!!

[gness]

Why didn't she yell? Even on dry land the terror leaves you unable to make a sound.

[pastafreak]

She's only 15 and was probably scared witless. The shock and terror she most likely felt would have caused her to 'freeze'. We all think we'd do this or that, but it's not the same when it is actually happening.

The offender was from Birmingham, called himself "Dabby", and plod said he is described as possibly of Asian descent and with tanned skin. Well who would have thought?

[Tilly2]

It's a long way from Birmingham to Bournemouth.

[youngmafbog]

We get a lot of people from Birmingham and London here.

Clearly you have never been to Bournemouth seafront where this happened or you would have realised screaming and yelling is continual. Even if heard it is doubtful anyone would have thought it anything but play.

I wouldn't put any money on plod finding this one. To be fair to them they are on a hiding to nothing as I doubt is friends and family will dob him in, quite the opposite I suspect. And probably isnt from Birmingham either.

Hopefully, there will be DNA from the evil B left behind.

I would think that anyone committing such an evil crime will offend again and then he will be caught (eventually).

Then he should be castrated with a rusty razor blade.

A good point uoungmafbog. This is quite a problem IMHO. Quite often, after the pubs close, I hear women screaming outside my house - many's the time I've been concerned that maybe 999 should be called, but I never do.

One day I may be wrong not to do so - but how do you tell, when girls seem to enjoy screaming, frequently in a very convincing manner.

As a bible believer eve, perhaps you think that she should be stoned to death for not yelling...

Deuteronomy 22
//23 If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her, 24 you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the young woman because she was in a town and did not scream for help,//

Or maybe have to marry her rapist...
Same chapter v 28
//28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay her father fifty shekels of silver. He must marry the young woman, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives//

[nailit]

Victim blaming.
A young girl was raped (and probably terrified)
and you have to ask why she did not scream/yell?
Seriously?

[Mamyalynne]

No need to be so nasty about it Nailit - perhaps Eve has never been in a situation where she is frozen in terror.

I for one am very pleased if that's the case.

[nailit]

//No need to be so nasty about it Nailit//
Where have I been nasty?

//perhaps Eve has never been in a situation where she is frozen in terror.//
OBVIOUSLY!!!

[nailit]

Even as a man, I can imagine the terror of been raped....

[nailit]

Sorry Mamy,
But you dont like your own 'nasty' Bible verses quoted back at you.

[royfromaus]

As you don't believe in them, nailit...quote them?

And I seriously doubt they are mamya's 'nasty' Bible verses

[royfromaus]

*why quote them ^

[nailit]

Roy,
Not my belief system mate.
Ask the one who asked the question,

[Tilly2]

How do the police know his name and hometown? Did the girl converse with him before the alleged tape took place?
