★ Rape I

At the far end stood a huge, square bed, with quilts red like the rest, and on it a girl was lying, dressed in a frock of red velvet.  At the sight of me she shrank away and tried to hide her knees under the short dress.

 

I had halted by the door.  ‘Come here, my chicken,’ I called to her.

 

She gave a whimper of fright.  With a bound I was beside the bed; she tried to elude me, but I seized her by the throat – like this, do you see? – tight!  She struggled, she began to cry out for mercy, but I held her fast, forcing her head back her head and staring down into her face … She was a peasant girl, doubtless, whom her parents had sold into slavery.

 

Without another word I pulled her off the bed and threw her on the floor.  And then I fell upon her like a tiger!  Ah, the joy, the incomparable rapture of that time! …

 

More and more savagely I renewed the attack …

 

Ah, how she screamed, with what bitter cries of agony.  But there was no one to hear them; down here under the streets of Paris we were as secure as at the heart of a pyramid.  George Orwell, Down and Out in Paris and London

This is the story of police officers not helping you because they can’t be bothered.  This is story of sexism at the heart of the police.  This is the story of a female police officer who believes her own force doesn’t help victims of rape.  This is the story of a public institution frustrated by endless paperwork.  And this is the woman who went undercover to show you the reality of policing in Britain.  Dispatches: Undercover Copper *****  Channel 4 2006

Just over two months ago a close friend of Prince Andrew hanged himself in his cell at the Metropolitan Correction Centre in New York.  Jeffrey Epstein was accused of being one of the most prolific child abusers of modern times.  Now Epstein’s victims are speaking out fearlessly … ‘He abused over 1,000 women’ … Epstein enjoyed a 12 year friendship with Prince Andrew.  The Queen’s favourite son stands accused of having sex three times with a teenage girl trafficked by Epstein, once as part of an orgy.  We build up the most complete picture yet of the relationship and the Prince, forensically examining Epstein’s address book and flight log, and comparing them against Prince Andrew’s schedule.  Dispatches: The Prince & the Paedophile, Channel 4 2019

‘Another case which has shocked the nation.  There seems to be no end to the shock and horror with brutal rapes being reported on a daily basis.’  Dispatches: India’s Rape Scandal, Indian news, Channel 4 2021

 

This is a story of rape, murder and political cover-up.  Powerful politicians and their allies silencing women they have raped.  And victims battling to be heard.  In India there is outrage at the high number of rapes  a woman reports a rape here every fifteen minutes.  And it’s estimated over 90% of attacks are never reported.  ibid.  

 

 

For many years Russell Brand was at the heart of British comedy and television.  For more than a year Channel 4’s Dispatches, The Times & The Sunday Times have been investigating Russell Brand’s treatment of women.  The allegations include rape, sexual assault, and control and emotionally abusive behaviour.  Dispatches: Russell Brand: In Plain Sight, Channel 4 2023

‘The tragedy of this are nine boys’ lives hopelessly, eternally interrupted sent cascading down roads of terror and imprisonment.’  ibid.  historian

 

The train dipped into the north-eastern corner of Alabama … a group of whites was moving along the top of the train and they stepped on the hand of one of the blacks and almost knocked him off the train … suddenly, from the shadows of a box-car emerged two white women, pale and dishevelled … ‘one of the women said we’ve been raped, all these coloured boys raped us.’  ibid.

Bill Cosby, one of the greatest America entertainers of the last fifty years, is due to stand trial accused of sexual assault.  Cosby is an American icon, a brilliant comedian who broke down racial barriers on American television.  Bill Cosby: Fall of an American Icon, BBC 2017

 

Cosby is standing trial for a single case of sexual assault but dozens of other women claim he attacked them too.  His alleged victims say he is a serial rapist who hid behind a brilliant public persona.  For half a century, Bill Cosby’s reputation has remained untarnished until now.  ibid.
