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 took the Tories 14 years to dig that 20bn blackhole. It's taken Labour 14 months to double it.  You cant get rid of Reeves though because the next person will actually be totally incompetent. There are no MPs in Labour capable of performing better than the current shower.
    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "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 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?
