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).

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
