Police probe 'happy slap' rape claims

10.42AM, Sat Jun 18 2005

Police are investigating claims that an 11-year-old girl was raped by two schoolboys while a third filmed the attack on a mobile phone.

Three 14-year-olds were arrested and questioned about the alleged attack which officers fear is an horrific new twist on the "happy slapping" craze.

Detectives are investigating claims that sickening video clips of the sex assault were then sent to the handsets of other youngsters.

The "happy slapping" phenomenon, in which thugs use mobiles to film random attacks, has been reported across the country in recent weeks but the latest incident marks a new low.

The girl is a pupil at a comprehensive secondary school in London, which is not being named to protect her identity.

She told police that she was attacked at a house, where she was socialising with a group of boys, after school on April 25.

Police believe one of the group filmed what was happening and sent it to at least one other phone a short time later.

Teachers at the school discovered that the footage was being passed round after it had already been seen by dozens of pupils.

Four days after the alleged attack the three boys were arrested.

Two are suspected of having intercourse with the girl and the third is suspected of having done the filming. They have all been bailed until July 12.

A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said: "Detectives are investigating an allegation of rape against an 11-year-old girl by two boys, both aged 14.

"The incident was alleged to have happened at an address in north London on April 25.

"Three boys, all aged 14, were arrested on April 29 in connection with the incident."

The case is being investigated by Scotland Yard's Operation Sapphire team which deals with sex attacks.

I saw this in the paper waliing home from my girlfriends earlier and I am completly disgusted.

Happy Slapping is bad enough but then they decide to rape her, film it and distrubute the footage!?

What the hell is this country coming to when 14 year olds rape and film it? And a girl who is only 11 years old.

This country is going to be screwed in 10-20 years time when this generation is the main population. Think how many scumbag kids they are going to have.

The government and police need to wake up to the fact that this countries youth population are no more then criminals.

It disgusts me too. All I know is that my kid will be put through the wall if I found him doing that.

EDIT: Actually, I would bring my kid up properly in the first place.

Exactly, unfortunatly the current generation of parents all think that mindless violence/mugging/rape/drugs are fine for their kids.

Yeah. If it wasn't for the video capabilities of mobile phones we'd be living in utopia :| Damn you Nokia/samsung/Motorola :| Damn you kids too :|

When i was young all kids ever did was help old people cross the road whilst carrying their shopping home and in the process try to figure out an end to the worlds ills (although their were none at the time.)

it makes me sick to read that, i cant believe the country i live in, tony blair needs to get his thumb out his ass and do something, the country is going down hill fast :crazy:

Look, I'm all for defending my country, but that has nothing to do with a much more serious matter. This young girl's life was just really thrown out of whack and I only hope these pricks don't get off easy because they aren't "adults".

Chavs anyone?

Agreed... f**king scum :no:

The problem with the CJS is that these kids will get 6 years in detention and then be released. The girl will be effected for far longer than that.

And too record it, SICK :x but STUPID as well :blink:

Oh, knowing the state of the UK - they'll just be sent to bed with no cookies or milk.

Whats worse is due to their age they will get slapped wrists and told not to do it again and that will be it.

In the mean time that girls life is destroyed.

Out of curiosity, can you actually show any examples of where someone has just been "slapped on the wrist" for raping someone? (english footballers excluded.)

Put it like this.

If a 25 year old man was found guilty of rape, he would do time ( And probably get out after half the time he was suppose to do)

These kids, 11 arnt they? They will get nothing... not even comminity service, probably an Asbo/Curfew to be inside by 9pm or something like that.

    • If you can't spell a simple word that 2nd graders learn, your entire argument is suspect.
    • And here goes the "Won't someone think of the children" brigade. Get stuffed mate. This has NOTHING to do with making the internet safe. It's about tracking adults, spying on your online activity, and sending the boys around when they don't like something you post. Also, again, parliament have voted TWICE against this, and Starmer is going ahead anyway. THAT is anti-democratic bullsh**. They will use this law to track you, they will use this law to control you, and they will use this law to punish you if they don't like what you do, even if it's legal. And your data? Say bye bye to that. It'll be on the darkweb in weeks. I'm not some rando online. I've been an IT professional for 40 years, many of it in security. I know exactly what this means and what will happen to your data. I do not consent and I will not comply.
    • "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
