In the shadows of a grimy tower block, the baying mob swarmed all over the sobbing schoolgirl like feral dogs—and savagely stole her childhood. Again, and again, and again, they took turns to violate her 14-year-old innocence at knifepoint. There were 19 of them. As she shrunk into a ball pleading for mercy, she was frog-marched round the grim east London estate in a two-hour display of depravity that shook all Britain.
VICTIM: "I was crying and begging for the rapes to stop ... but all I heard was the baying gang whooping each other on"
The spark for their monstrous brutality was a simple schoolgirl remark she made to a pal, telling her she was right to think about ditching her boyfriend. But that boyfriend was a member of a notorious gang called The Kingshold Boys in Hackney—and when what Jane had said was reported back to him her fate was sealed.
The story is a horrible one.
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't the people help her even though she was in obvious distress?
This may be London, but i sure hope nothing like this will ever happen again.
Not when some people actually had the power to stop the trauma from happening.
Never fail to stand up for what's right.
