I'm sorry but a woman being locked up against her will for forced sex is rape not a bloody romp. This is disgraceful.

You are right.

Write to the editor to complain.

CatchAPlaneToBarcelona · 12/02/2016 16:53

quite right its bloody awful.

Alisvolatpropiis · 12/02/2016 16:54

Romp is quite the typo for rape.

Arseholes.

Griphook · 12/02/2016 16:57

It's unfortunately quite common!

SonjasSister · 12/02/2016 16:57

Was she a girl, either? Doubt it.

Ugh, this is vile.

Katenka · 12/02/2016 16:58

This family have been through so much, how can no one at this paper have questioned that headline.

It's fucking disgusting.

EElisavetaOfBelsornia · 12/02/2016 16:58

Vile is right. Angry

ScrambledSmegs · 12/02/2016 17:02

That's deplorable journalism. Do IPSO deal with this sort of thing now?

Here

MrsOlaf78 · 12/02/2016 17:02

I'm guessing she was more than "upset" as well - bloody traumatised I should think. He makes it sound like something from a Carry On film.

Was that in today's paper? If not what date is it?

fakenamefornow · 12/02/2016 17:03

Oh, an name of the journalist who wrote it.

Cocolepew · 12/02/2016 17:04

I posted this in the feminist topic .
I don't think I've ever been so angry at a newspaper article before.

ClaudetteWyms · 12/02/2016 17:10

That is vile.

gooseberryroolz · 12/02/2016 17:13

It's a great shame that The Sun can't follow in the footsteps of the NOTW.

ricketytickety · 12/02/2016 17:14

bloody hell! That's disgusting. She was only 18. Rape culture should not be jollied up as romping. Makes me think that journo equates trying to rape a teenager as some sort of kiss chase.

Babyroobs · 12/02/2016 17:15

Disgusting. I hate how these bloody rags sensationalise stories, there is no compassion for the family. My dm died in awful circumstances a number of years ago and the disgusting Daily mail sensationalised her death, it still upsets me now. People's tragedy and suffering is just another headline to them.

timelytess · 12/02/2016 17:15

Sickening.

ThinkAboutItTomorrow · 12/02/2016 17:17

If it had happened to a male soldier I can only imagine how differently it would be treated.

iamnotaponceyloudperson · 12/02/2016 17:20

BBC online is hardly better. I made a complaint a couple of days ago about one of their headlines. I won't repeat it here as involved a infant death and would hate to draw bereaved parents' attention to it but I despair at the ignorance shown by all levels of the media. Nothing is too low for them to sensationalise.

Devora · 12/02/2016 17:22

So suspected rape and murder (this is the Deepcut case?) = romp.

Just disgusting.

Shallishanti · 12/02/2016 17:27

this is why I will never buy the Sun
shame you can't boycott something twice

EdithWeston · 12/02/2016 17:27

"Was she a girl, either? Doubt it."

Cheryl James was only 18 when she died.

Spudlet · 12/02/2016 17:30

SonjasSister she was 18. Poor, poor lass.

How could anyone write a headline like that and think it was ok? Have they no empathy at all?

Followyourart · 12/02/2016 17:31

This has made me rage!!!! That fucking newspaper!!!!

Funny really because the Metro is just as bad, and that's free - can be picked up on buses etc, there are lots handed out at my work, greatest propaganda tool going..

Yuck. Yuck. Yuck.
