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.

    • I like Tidal, but it still does not control devices from the mobile/app and still no surround support. And yeah re: above comment I still get a lot of network errors and I am on a 4/4 Gbit Fiber connection.
    • Aren`t "security features" and "AI model that can see your screen" a tad diametric!
    • Samsung, Amazon extend 990 PRO 2TB NVMe SSD deal beyond Prime Day 2026 by Sayan Sen Recently, we had Amazon's Prime Day 2026 sales wherein there were several great deals including on SSDs. One of those discounted components was the Samsung 990 PRO SSD as the 2TB variant of it was selling for $370, a very good price after a long time. Although that deal was supposed to expire today, Amazon has now extended that sale further (purchase link under the specs table down below). The 990 PRO is a PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD and still one of the fastest drives available today for under $400. Speaking of fast, sequential reads and writes are rated at 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The random throughputs for reads and writes are 1400K IOPS and 1550K IOPS, respectively. The 990 PRO is based on Samsung's 7th Gen V-NAND flash, and it too is TLC. It packs 2 gigs of LPDDR4 DRAM cache, which helps the random performance. The endurance rating for this is 1200 TBW (terabytes written), which should be sufficient for most users. The Samsung 990 PRO is compatible with the PlayStation 5, but if you are going to use the 990 PRO on a PC, check out the Samsung Magician app that lets you track your drive's health, update its firmware, customize various settings, and more. The technical specs of the Samsung 990 PRO 2TB are given in the table below: Specification Value Form Factor M.2 2280 Interface PCIe Gen 4.0 x4, NVMe 2.0 NAND Flash Samsung V-NAND TLC Controller Samsung In-house Controller Cache Memory Samsung 2GB Low Power DDR4 SDRAM Sequential Read Speed Up to 7,450 MB/s Sequential Write Speed Up to 6,900 MB/s Random Read (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,400,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD32) Up to 1,550,000 IOPS Random Read (4KB, QD1) Up to 22,000 IOPS Random Write (4KB, QD1) Up to 80,000 IOPS Operating Temperature 0°C to 70°C Reliability (MTBF) 1.5 Million Hours Endurance 1,200 TBW (Total Bytes Written) Get it at the link below: Samsung 990 PRO SSD 2TB NVMe SSD (MZ-V9P2T0B/AM): $369.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Glad im on the right boat. Tidal has lots of issues in terms of app and music mix, its worst than spot but its honest. Spot algo is very tendentious and they pess less to artists, so im comfortable with the tidal errors, for now.
