Chelsey Wright

[Imstickingwiththisone]

Anyone curious why the Chelsey Wright story is not being discussed by mainstream media?

A young woman alleges she was raped by 6 men in a house. DNA was found on her belonging to numerous men, she had injuries which supported her allegation and there are witnesses who heard her screaming and saw her fleeing the house half naked. Oh and a toxicologist report found that she had rohypnol.

Despite what appears to be compelling evidence the CPS droped the case due to insufficient evidence. The young woman has waived her right to anonymity to discuss this with the media.

The problem is, as far as i can see, it's only being reported on by right wing websites and Tommy Robinson has jumped on it massively organising marches in Sunderland and setting up the website justiceforchelsey. I've no doubt that this is because the alleged rapists were refugees rather than anything else. But why can't I read a balanced article on the matter? Why aren't the mainstream media reporting on it?

Probably because the BNP & Breibart are all over it

But that supports their argument that the authorities and media don't want to touch it because they're afraid they'll be called racist.

Didn't a lot of violence kick off in the city as a result of the reports?

Sometimes it feels as though things go unsaid when it's not in the public interest to report which I can understand but still feels wrong.

The town my mother now lives in had a big problem with teen suicides a few years back and according to her a considerable number of suicides in the area have since gone unreported or been very played down in the local press as it was believed the press coverage was having a "copycat" effect and almost glamourising it.

I don't think they should censor like that though and i think it makes people either have doubts about a rape victims story because it's not being reported on by a reputable news outlet, or believe there is a coverup similar to Rotherham which is what they are trying to argue against now.

Suicide is different. The press have a responsibility to report on it without details and in a very specific manner as it has been proven to result in an increase in suicides. The Samaritans researched this and I think they set the guidance.

Ah I hadn't heard about the Samaritans research, will have a look for it as that would absolutely explain what is going on.

Agree that you would hope lessons were learned over Rotherham but race relations are so sensitive in the press at the moment - do you think it comes from a reluctance to stir the pot while emotions are running so high and avoiding the potential fall out?

This is it tri. I don't think it suggests it shouldn't be reported on at all but i don't think it's a bad idea if there has been a spate of suicides. I understand the more you hear and read about suicide when you are in a deep depression can create suicidal thoughts and temptations.

If that's the reason then i think it just adds fuel to the fire as i literally cannot find a balanced article on it so there's no counter to the hysterical frenzied reporting by Tommy Robinson et al which is designed to whip people up for an agenda they already had. Also it just stinks that this woman's voice is being disregarded as she must be very brave to have come forward.

I remember there was a backlash against the media's lack of reporting on mass groping at large public events in Germany last Summer so i don't know why it's happening in this instance.

People should be allowed to read facts and come to their own conclusion. Closing down conversations is not sensible at all.

Hadn't heard of this, but you're right there's nothing available online that isn't of a right wing bias. What the hell is going on here? There was a weird report local-ish to me, reported in January, of a teenage (school age) girl being attacked by a group of six men, 10.30 at night, in a residential area near to a major city. It was in the local press and the online comments section was awash with speculation from locals that the group were recently arrived refugees. The attack was aborted when a local man, hearing a ruckus, went looking and intervened (he went out armed with a knife) and called the police. Then comments started to appear, attached to the report in the online newspaper, from a man who claimed he was the 'rescuer' and that the attack was being downplayed by police and he detailed what had happened. Since then there has been nothing in the local press following up on this, the man's claims have been removed from the local news website and the article itself has been heavily edited to be bare minimum and very vague. This is a large city but the kind of area where local news usually amounts to 'local woman in custard shortage' type articles, so ie this story could have been expected to be big news no matter how it panned out. But, no, nothing. Almost like it never happened. It was only seeing your OP that reminded me of this local incident and prompted me to re-check what was currently in the media regarding it.

I hate the bnp et al with the burning passion of a thousand suns.

But if this is true it is absolutely infuriating!

Why are the msm not reporting this?! It's playing right in to extremists goddam hands!

Ffs, censoring the news will only result in rage and backlash when it gets out (inevitable in the world of sm)

Just report on it without sensationalism.

Why haven't the Sun and the daily mail leapt at this story?

I hate them but come on, they wouldn't turn their noses up at this would they?

The mail reported on it shortly after it happened while the accused were on bail but no follow up. Like you say they should love this story and it's very strange how everywhere is so silent on it. Especially being able to put a name and face to the victim.ll

I honestly saw this through a Tommy Robinson link who I cannot stand and thought it was so horrendous that I needed to see what the facts were, but I couldn't find any. Totally bizarre and dangerous I think.

Seems that the DNA didn't match?

Ah thanks locked that's an interesting read. Sounds like the police are trying to be tactful but informative.

I hate these bastards for distorting matters for their own gain

I lived in sunderland for years, drank in the town and walked the street where this happened all the time. looking at the pictures of her something has gone badly wrong, and it’s bothering me. I can't accept the CPS decision on this. Serious violence has occurred here. The type of violent behaviour described is likely racist toward the woman, not the other way around. And if the defendants claim it's not racist it's definitely gender violence. And they are also admitting to condoning this behaviour toward women of their own culture. When are authorities going to catch up with this. When a person is sexually aggressive toward me I am the victim. it doesn’t matter what colour people are. It’s about power. Here’s another link

The EDL has been able to hijack it because no mainstream is reporting. It's become a racism story rather than gender violence. All people should be good to each other and keep all safe for the good of all women, men and children. if people can't do that it's criminal. The thought of one person attacking is horrific, the thought of a gang terrifying. that a gang of people would work together for depraved pleasure against another human being i can't accept. The modus operandi is alike to a paedophile ring. The legal outcome setting a terrible example for others, dangerous for all. The accused are walking free without charge, no trial. Likely they won’t be in the North East anymore so could be in my city for all I know. Something has gone badly wrong, and it’s bothering me.
I’ve been subjected to heightened sexism incidents for a couple of years now, ranging from sexual assault to street harassment to aggressive staring to inappropriate watching. It’s like I’ve woken up in some sexist nightmare, but it’s real. The undertone is violent. It happens in daytime hours, going about my business, public space, when I’m on my own. It happens regularly, 3 times last week, once the week before. It gets worse in Spring. There appears to be a view I don’t have my own consent and should put up with the behaviour, that it is the man’s right, or segregate myself from public space for my own safety. When I try to complain to the authorities there is sympathy until I describe the assailants. Then I’m ushered away and it’s implied I’m racist. It occurs to me I have very few British Asian women in my life but British Asian men are everywhere I look. Simply put, on the streets there’s an imbalance of male to female and little interaction between the sexes. I’m late 40’s and I’m concerned younger women are suffering more. This can’t be right. This is not my future. I move for prosecution, a general consciousness sea change on appropriate behaviour for all regardless of race/ethnicity/culture/religion, and tougher laws on gender violence and sexual prejudice.
There has been an incident in Portsmouth recently which you may or may not be interested in. A group of men on a group if women. I don’t care what nationality they are, the level of physical and sexual violence toward the women appears hugely disproportionate.

Go well. Building a better future for all.
No place for hate, prejudice, racism, sexism, homophobia, gender violence, or fear.
