Serious Sexual Assaults in East Dulwich


Recommended Posts

Has anyone else seen the witness signs for the serious sexuals assaults which recently happened in ED? I think one was on Forest Hill Rd somewhere between the Herne Tavern and the Clockhouse, and the other was somewhere on Barry Rd. I haven't seen the board myself, but heard from a friend that the assaults were done by a gang. Very worrying. Has anyone else got any details? No news of this on south london press website..yet.
Having lived in ED for 9 years and then having moved out last summer, I definitely got the impression that ED was getting more aggro, I think in all the time I lived there I saw a policeman walking on foot once, but I saw more fights after pub time and general potential situations in the last year that I had previously.

Like you Paul I too feel fairly safe around ED, I hope this does not change.


I'm female, so news of serious sexual assaults is of concern. It would be interesting to hear from any other girls if they've felt at all threatened in the area, and if so where. As the assaults appear to be near Peckham Rye Park it is just a sensible thought to all you fellow joggers (that go round, and round..) to let someone know your run route and ETA home, etc and not have the tunes turned up too high. Not that I'm paranoid, just want gels (and boys) to be careful. :)

It was on Saturday 21 Oct - three hooded 18-20-year-olds pursued the 31-year-old woman as she left The Plough on Barry Road at around 5pm. They assaulted her at Parklands and followed her to her home in Forest Hill. I don't know whether she knew any of them, but probably not, as the newspaper report didn't mention it.

It's naive for anyone to allow themselves the luxury of thinking ED is a safe place to live. After all we still live in London and have high crime area's such as Peckham right next door to us. ED does appear a safe place, but it's only when your ignorance overtakes your self awareness that you will get yourself into a tight spot with some scummy rapist.


Be careful out there, London is London.

Well thank you Mr Kiwi. Once again your daily mail-esque scaremongerring views never cease to amaze us all.


I for one will no longer be leaving my house for fear of the "scummy rapists" of london.


Your words of widsom are greatly appeciated we, the un"ED"ucated, are eternally greatful.


N.

Bob's got a point. If there's a mean and spiteful exchange on the forum Quaywe's always a part of it, pretending he's not.


However he does add a certain thrill, and I know the site would be a less interesting place without him; he only tells us because he cares. He doesn't realise when he's being hurtful ;-)

Mean, spiteful? Moi? Huguenot you could be right, maybe I just don't realise how my comments are being interpreted when read on a forum such as this. It must be my Kiwi view on the world that maybe doesn't fit into the British way. If I was English I'd probably be apologising now but I'm not, so I won't. I'll just carry on entertaining those with a sense of humor and offending those without.


:)

Fantastic! With every post mrED continues to turn into a parody of himself, without even a hint of self-awareness. He's an entertainer! He cares!.. and shares!.. he tells it like it is, goddammit - and he won't cow-tow to The Uptight Brit because he's, er, from New Zealand (or something).

    • It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face. 
    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded
