[A 14-year-old boy has been arrested
after a woman was raped in a nightclub toilet.
Officers were called to Bloom club in the
Manchester’s Gay Village area shortly
after 5am on Wednesday.

The boy was arrested on suspicion of rape
and has since been bailed pending
further investigation, Greater Manchester Police said.

Police said the victim is being supported
by specialist services and a number
of lines of inquiry are being followed up.

The woman and her friends were
offered drugs by a teenager shortly
before the attack, police believe.

Staff at the club allegedly allowed
the suspect to leave the venue after the
victim said she did not want police to
be contacted, however the woman’s friend
later called police and an arrest was made.

Bloom nightclub issued a statement
on Thursday saying it had closed
“to allow for a complete investigation”.

It added: “Due to the severity of an
incident which occurred in the club on
Wednesday, Bloom Manchester
will be closed to allow for a complete
investigation to take place.”

The venue, in Bloom Street, describes
itself on Facebook as “Manchester’s favourite
late night LGBTQ+ nightclub”.]

Thanks Arista, no doubt the nightclub didn't want to explain why they allowed a 14 year old in their club either

Yeah that's crazy to think a 14 year old can get into a nightclub in this day and age. I mean you have to look over 25 to buy booze and tobacco in all the shops now. Not like back in the early/mid 00's when i first started clubbing (didn't last long, maybe a summer). It was always the girls, they'd get in, some around 15/16. The boys of that age, like me, would always struggle. It was a 50/50 chance every weekend really.

Looking older than you are and a fake ID can be dangerous combinations, the club should be punished and fined heavily for not having strong enough security checks

He was a 14yr old drug dealer, who was waved into the
toilets by the security with the words "have a good one" ringing in his ears from one of the security, as he sauntered in with his victim.

Security later knocked on the cubicle door of the toilet but did nothing when they discovered there was 2 people behind the door.


3 questions..why was a woman allowed in the gents.
Why wernt they asked to leave the toilet cubicle when it was discovered that there was 2 people behind the door.

Was it a unisex toilet.

was the nightclub taking a cut on the drug sales?

It seems a bit iffy to me that they would allow any mixing in the toilets let alone give the opportunity for rape to occur

I read this earlier
Clearly the woman went into the cubicle freely
My take on it is, drugs for a sexual favour.

Yeah that was my thought, the club are probably complicit in drug dealing in the venue and the exchange taking place in the cubicles is quite common

If the club knows about dealing there is no need to go to a cubicle.

of course there is, anyone could have seen and made a complaint and they would be closed down, they were turning a blind eye to illiegal activity

exactly. Deciding that the woman had agreed to trade sexual favours for drugs is a big leap fgs

Re the cubicles thing, a lot of gay clubs have unisex washrooms. It's also not uncommon for them to be creepily permissible when it comes to allowing younger people in, and turning a blind eye to goings-on in the cubicles. Vile places.

They don’t get a set of scales out in a club and start weighing white powder

If it’s coke or speed it’s already in a deal sized rap or pills

Even with clubs that are anti drugs dealer’s are still in there dealing

The only time you usually get the opposite sex’s go in a cubicle together is to have sex.

Th bouncers (or one of them anyway) would always steer you in the right direction if you wanted any Coke or Pills in the few clubs i went to. The Maidstone clubs were always the roughest. I could never fully relax or let myself go in them clubs. Always dicks looking for fights and stuff.

No it’s not
Sex drugs and rock and roll

Women and girls get drugs in exchange for sex

It happens.

The woman has said she was raped and you've basically called her a prostitute

yes it happens, but so does rape, why are you so quick to say it isn't rape?

he is a minor so if she did have sex with him he is underage and she will go on the sex offenders register, so there may not be a good outcome to report it as it is her word against his

except when the dealer is a minor and shouldn't be in the club in the first place never mind dealing

I’ve not said it wasn’t rape
Going in a cubicle to give a blowjob was my take on it and it went wrong from there

Also have you seen the size of some second school kids, some have a full on beard and it’s easy to see how girls can look older these days because the human body has changed

[thesheriff443]

I’m getting the same crap in this thread that women get in a trans thread

I’m a man get over it.
