Horrible, just horrible.

It was on Crimewatch last night. Utter scum - still, if they're caught they might end up getting some unwanted sexual attention of their own, once they're in jail

I missed Crimewatch last night, watched the Liverpool game instead wish I hadn't now.

Total scum.... I hope they get caught and they throw away the key!!!!!

i watched this on crimewatch last night, must admit i was scared going to bed last night  why i do i watch this programme, it scares me everytime

the article i read said it was 'oral rape' and only one of the men did it...not that that is any better...but it just goes to show how the facts can be manipulated by the media to cause maximum outrage.

it seems also that they waited months before asking the public to help i hope the lady, her BF and their baby can move on from this

Darthhoob, the definition of rape has been widened to include oral penetration.

Horrible story.

Yet another awful thing to happen. Sickos. Thankfully us humans are good at recovering from very bad situations, doen't mean we forget. but we do usually learn how to cope and keep going.

It wouldn't occur to me to do something like that.  I'd have to be forced to do it, possibly at gunpoint.  I can't imagine why it would occur to anyone else.  It makes me wonder whether there are fundamentally different sorts of people in the world, irrespective of upbringing.  Surely, a bad upbringing in the UK (as opposed to, say, Somali or other war-torn places of extreme violence and deprivation) isn't enough to produce people like that?

oh i know, but the article didn't state that, and many people do not know oral rape IS rape nowadays....so assume it was vaginal rape (esp when they say she went on to give birth ok). considering this lady was quite heavily pregnant...that makes people feel it is even more sick.
it's just the media spinning it.

and yes it is a bloody awful story

I don't know any bloke who would.  When I was pregnant blokes would fall over themselves offering a seat on the bus, or trying to help in some way or other.  I don't know any sicko who would do something like this to a pregnant woman, or who could find anyway of rationalising it.

I read they didn't want to publicise it until after the baby was born, at the request of the couple who were attacked...I don't think they wanted the added stress and I believe they also need time (understandably), also STI checks for the Woman....

I also read that the Police are hopeful they will get some leads as they reckon the 'gang members' may switch alliegances (sp) for whatever reasons...as they do not think rape was part of the original plan....

How awful for the couple, and also to have the birth of their first child tainted by this...what kind of 'Man' would do such a thing..it beggars belief...

I can't believe what is happening these days.In their own home for god's sake.We are supposed to be civilized.We are going backwards.

I'd just like to remind you that if you find something offensive, you should report it, and NOT quote it.  I've removed an offensive post, but also had to remove a few other posts because it was quoted.
