The Sun reporting on soldier Cheryl James

[Cocolepew]

The report reads like some sort of shitty carry on film.
Cheryl was held captive in a room while a superior officer tried to, or did, rape her. "Romp"? FFS

That is disgusting. Shame on the Sun, unfortunately they have none.

Ffs that is hideous

And people claim rape culture isn't real.

I am not surprised, but still disappointed by this kind of reporting in the Sun. It's hideous.

I don't think we'll ever know exactly what happened to Cheryl James, sadly.

That's appalling reporting!completely minimising.

"Have his way" honestly, its beyond words.

OT... Why is suicide in quotation marks? I'd understand if it had ju st happened, but surely cause of death was ruled ages ago?

I think the coroner's verdict was open wasn't it? That's why it's been reopened because it may not have been suicide but murder/unlawful killing, I think (I haven't been following it closely as I've been away)

What do you expect from a paper that has page 3?

Trying to 'have his way with her'?? Absolutely disgusting reporting. But then, what do you expect from the Sun?

It seems to have become quite common to use all sorts of euphemisms to avoid saying what happened, namely "rape". But this is a whole new level of minimisation, like some Benny Hill-esque scene.

How horrible. Perhaps a complaint about the article may be in order. Ideally feel for her family.

I meant I really feel for the family.

That's abhorrent. Even for The Sun. I agree that a complaint is in order. How dare they refer to a rape as a romp? Reminds me of that BNPer who likened rape to force-feeding a woman chocolate.

"Romp" is horrible.

"Have his way with her" is what the witness (her friend) said in evidence. The Mirror was much
better :
