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

The story states that she was chased round the room. An actual romp/rape doesn't seem to have ensued on this occasion.

But it was part of the overall events. It wasn't some Benny Hill style jape where they chased around and then had a good giggle, it was sexual intimidation that led to rape.

Come on now... exalted

Romp to me = Carry-on style fun

Being chased around the room by someone you have no intention of having sex with doesn't sound all that fun to me... that this happened on a different occasion to the next assault she may well have been assaulted on this occasion is neither here nor there.

We may call an 18 year old a girl in casual conversation but in this instance she should absolutely have been referred to as a young woman. Everything about this piece reeks of contempt and casual dismissal, it's disgusting.

What's your point exalted? That she managed to run away from the threatened rape romp so that's OK?

So soldiers threatened with beating by a corporal who has form for beating recruits into heart attacks isn't going to do it to you?

How terrified must Cheryl James have been? In barracks with the strictures of the army around her at 18 with the fear of rape slung into it all.

The Scum haven't learnt a single lesson. Hillsborough. Milly Dowler.

Yuck, disgusting. What is the best way to complain?

It's so depressing that rape gets referred to as 'romp' in the year 2016 in the UK Sad

As a Liverpool fan, I'm not surprised. It's a horrible, disgusting rag and I judge anyone I see reading it.

I'm so sorry to hear that, Jetcat. It was a long time ago now, but I have never stopped feeling shocked and upset by Deepcut.

My god this had just made me Angry Agree with GloGirl, use the #RapeNotRomp hashtag on Twitter and let this vile rag's editor regret ever passing this over. Utter scum.

That poor woman's family. They've had to deal with so much and now the trivialisation of a sex crime against their daughter on the front page? Disgusting.

Sorry, I posted the link to IPSO but I don't know what the procedure is or even if they're the relevant body. I hope someone who knows more can help with what to do?

Fuck me, it seems like I shouldn't have done but I really had expected better from the Sun. Not a lot, but to call rape a 'romp' is spectacularly shit.

This is really close to home Sad

It's not just Cheryl's family who suffer with headlines like this (though clearly their pain must be unbearable), but my family suffer as well (another Deepcut victim).

I have complained, and hope that many others do too.

I really hope that someone is human enough to do the right thing and give her family honest answers. These people are the most appalling set of cowards and disgusting individuals to conspire to withhold the truth.

The Sun, is a group that takes great pleasure in making money out of other's misery, and seeks to cause as much pain as possible.

When I was at school a friend was murdered(by a stranger) the Sun and Daily Mail made her families's lives hell for ever, they still do given half the chance, pure poison.
