Duffy Reveals More Details Of Ordeal...

[Mozz71]

As per my previous post about the sexual abuse suffered by the singer Duffy, she's, as she said she would, released details of her ordeal.

Poor girl :-(

Once again the downside of mass communication rears its ugly head.

It gives Duffy the chance for a cathartic opportunity to tell of her ordeal, which I really hope is good for her.

Personally, I doubt the wisdom of doing so, because it lays her open to exactly the sort of cynical responses posted on here - people looking to 'reason out' the 'flaws' in her story, and find reasons to believe it to be untrue.

Hopefully the perpetrator of this dreadful crime has been, or soon will be apprehended.

In the meantime, I would caution any AB'ers who are keen to dismiss the story as simply a twisted attempt at career enhancement to consider that some people who post on here have ensured traumatic experiences themselves, and they don't need the lofty criticism of cynical strangers to remind them of what has happened to them.

Something to think about maybe?

Wouldn't be difficult to identify her kidnapper. His name would be on the passenger list. How on earth did he get her from the restaurant ,get her passport and drag a drugged female onto the plane?

[Old_Geezer]

Poor girl. Hope she's truly past the experience now, and doesn't mentally fall back.

Rather unfortunate error in your post, andy-hughes.

Why is it wrong to question Duffy's reasons for not having this kidnapping rapist apprehended?

Don't give me more guff that 'he might have been' if he has why would Duffy not mention it?

[Old_Geezer]

Having to go through the experience of giving evidence/testimony in court ?

[pixie374]

Why would she, Roy? I just posted and didn't mention it. How are you AB expert here? Is it experience or qualifications?

[royfromaus]

Potentially stop other women being raped by him?

Or is that not important?

[pixie374]

Are you suggesting she never reported it? As she says she has. Publicly reporting... maybe not a great idea before someone is found guilty. In any case, it is not her responsibility to stop him, it's his. Stop victim-blaming.

[royfromaus]

What you're saying is that you can praise her for her bravery in telling the world but not criticise her for not having this man face justice.


Sorry but I don't get bullied.

[pixie374]

You are a bully.

Are you suggesting she never reported it?


It doesn't appear that way. She casually mentioned it to two female officers is all I have read.


I am not victim-blaming.

[pixie374]

You are, if you are suggesting it is her responsibility to get him off the streets. She has reported it officially, what more do you expect her to do?

[royfromaus]

Where am I bullying anyone who is just accepting what she says without question?

That's the way of people who just want to be liked by everyone, that's not me but bullying is also not me.

Duffy can not have it both ways.

[royfromaus]

She has reported it officially


Can I have a link to that?

[royfromaus]

It's the responsibility of the police to get him off the streets but they need the information to do that.

[pixie374]

You are suggesting she must report it, in order to save other people, as if that is her problem or her responsibility. It isn't. She is doing what she needs to do herself. She had officially reported it, but even if she hadn't, why is she the person you want to criticise?

[pixie374]

The link is provided already, Roy. If she is ready to give information, fine. If not, fine. Either way, it is not her doing.

Cloverjo, is going down the best avenue ,"did she have her passport with her in the Restaurant" well spotted Miss Marples.

Are there many former international singing sensations posting and/or reading this Forum Andy?

One persons 'Lofty cynical criticism' is another persons 'Free debate'

Then again not all of us have our hands on the trigger do we? :-)

[royfromaus]

If you're brave enough to tell the world about your ordeal then be brave enough to get the assailant jailed.


This rapist must be one powerful man to have not been arrested or attracted any media speculation.
