An 11-year-old suspected rape victim decided not to go to police because of a storyline in EastEnders in which the victim was not supported, the Old Bailey heard yesterday.
The girl, who was worried about going through a court case, only summoned up the courage to make a complaint years later, it is claimed. She claims Junior Hall, 41, raped her after she called him 'gay'. Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...#ixzz1x8nxb6Zs Awful.

Very sad and worrying,I guess obviously we need to wait for the end of the case but this is the other side of the coin.
Often a storyline in a soap can usually help someone to speak out but this seems on the surface to be one time it helped the person draw back from saying anything. Awful situation for an 11 year old to be in though. |

It's a horrible thing to happen, but 11-year-olds shouldn't be watching EastEnders anyway. If I ever have children, I'd never let them watch it until 13, really.

Shocking storyline. I swear, everyday I check the news there is this all over the world. I seriously wonder about the world we live in. Poor wee girl. And bribed with a £20. Honestly...if it's true I hope the animal goes away for a long time...infact. I wouldn't even insult the animal, they'd likely have better morals. Monster.

That's what I was thinking...only thing I can think of around that time would be Trevor raping Mo storyline?

Tthat storyline was in the early 2000's though, I think. She said it took place around June 2001-2003.
Even at that...I'm now thinking, was there an issue with Mo not being supported? I can only vaguely remember it.

Probably the Kat/Zoe stuff in October 2001. In an argument at Lynne's hen do, on the streets Kat revealed to Zoe that she's her mother and Harry raped her at 6 years old and had gotten away with it until then. Either that or the Little Mo/Trevor stuff. I suggest you watch the videos I'm about to give you for a full explanation. The show was really good back then.

It can't be the incident Omah posted, that was when she hit him with an iron. But, yeah, I remember Mo's rape storyline now so that must be it.
Edit - Hang on, just re-read. Yes, it's the Kat/Zoe story. I remember no one believed her because it was a family member that raped her. God, Eastenders is so convoluted. Last edited by Marsh.; 07-06-2012 at 10:30 PM. |

My bad. Shouldn't have skim read the article. Yeah, it probably was that storyline then. Poor girl.

To be honest, I don't think it is ..... if Eastenders fans can't remember a storyline that allegedly influenced a rape victim, then it's possible that the alleged storyline doesn't exit .....
It may be that the victim's memory is "faulty" or even that the allegation is concocted, but, if the incident did happen, her legal team must have had time to iron out any discrepancies ..... |

She got raped by two people: the first one was her abusive husband Trevor, who raped her in December 2001 (as well as his general abuse towards Mo, such as burning her hand with an iron) and again two years later in December 2003 by the person you're describing ('the stranger'). Here's the episode if that will help:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RSQQKCxzyTA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eGaXk...feature=relmfu http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Co5LUDwRZQ8 His name was Gratham and it happened on 9 December 2003.

God, talk about bad luck. I suppose they rehashed stories even then.

Well, yeah, but to a much lesser extent. EastEnders started going down the pan quite a lot in 2003. It was a good year, but not as good as the years before. Mo should've been a lot more savvy than that, considering what happened with Trevor and you think she'd have learnt her lesson. I remember she always let people push her about and all.
