  • In this week's episode we talked to Mo Lea, who was just 20 years old when she was attacked by a man on her walk home in Leeds. Mo told us how she managed to survive, what she went through with her recovery and how she realised that her attacker was Peter Sutcliffe, an infamous English serial killer, also known as Yorkshire Ripper.

    • @catau8000
      @catau8000 Před rokem +68

      I think Thatchers response calling women out for walking alone smacked of victim blaming a bit - it’s sound advice to tell women to be safe and vigilant but through a method of telling them to remove most freedoms of movement and that they should be fearful mobilising around out on their own around the country ? The problem isn’t with women being out after 5pm, trying to meet friends or catch a bus home … the problem was the lack of policing any suspicious behaviour of men on the streets - lack of bobbys on the beat - failure to arrest or effectively penalise & monitor sex pests - police blaming sex workers for sexual assaults - not to mention Britain’s piss poor support of mental health at the time - people like Peter sutcliffe could act as he saw fit with utter freedom (and no obvious Avenue to pursue mental health therapy support because let’s face it, he must’ve known he had dark intrusive thoughts for a very long time and there’s no way people close to him couldn’t have been alarmed at certain things he said or did) - thatchers comments weren’t about fixing the problem, they were utterly ridiculous, telling women to basically stay at home and fear the world

These are no disorders, such people have had their ENTIRE personality hacked by a very dangerous predatory survival 'mechanism'.... robots.... They should be destroyed or locked up for life or monitored as much as possible depending on the severity of the damage they cause onto others. They ALWAYS have AT LEAST one victim of which they partially or totally ruin their lives or their finances, or their social circle... and being a victim of them demands years of effort to recover... if one remains alive.

    I am a woman who survived a horrific crime.
    Back then I didn’t trust the police, it took my nearly 20 years to get the courage to report my attack, in the end it was the fact that he was still out there and probably attacking other women that made me report the crime.
    It changed my life completely. I live with ptsd.
    Not long after the attack a friend of mine took me on a Reclaim the Night March that ended in a ballroom full of wonderful women.
    I believe it probably prevented me from taking my life.
    They never caught him, he’s probably still out there.

    A friend of mine was a student in Newcastle (North East England) in the early 80s. She was walking across the town moor one night and came across a distressed looking woman coming the other way. The woman passed her by without a word. A minute later a man started following her. She ran and he gave chase. Fortunately she escaped but when she went to the police they said it was her fault and that in future she should carry a bucket of water with her to throw over any assailant. The police did not give a shit about women. Things have changed, but how much I can't say.

He had made some rude calls to our apartment late at night and I grabbed the phone from my sister and said, “I know who this is, you’re the freak at the end of the hallway” and he hung up. We knew he was afraid of us because he’d take the stairs, 29 floors, instead of being caught in the elevator with us. He was caught trying to kidnap one of his students and there was a car chase that ended in Long Island. He shot himself before being arrested.

What i loved about Richard (her son) is that he has a slogan which is a play on words for his last name 'I can' from what i remember from his visit, he says he used this as a mantra to keep going.

    Thank you, Mo Lea, for telling your story. It's the most traumatic moments of her life and she speaks with truth and eloquence. She's been through hell and come out the other side. I think it's awesome she's bringing attention to the terrible way it was handled after her attack. It's shameful to see the way serial killers are now given this strange celebrity status. It's disgusting. Anyone that is supporting these movies and shows that have come out, that glorifying these horrors and those committing them, is like a slap in the face to survivors and their families as well as those victims that passed and their families. Uplift and speak out about the survivors and victims, NOT the perpetrators!

      Absolutely. And how many women are out there driving old beater cars and getting stranded?
      My late baby sister recounted breaking down and walking back toward a service station. Some guy in a truck offered her a ride. She said real friendly "oh, no thanks, I've got it, just gonna call a friend..."
      He insisted. She again refused.
      He switched. Just like that. Stopped the truck. Jumped out. Started chasing her all the while cussing and telling her all the horrible stuff he was gonna do to her.
      She RAN. Toward that service station. She said she'd never run so fast in her life.
      The guy stopped & ran back to his truck only because someone at the gas station saw her running and came toward her to help.
      He asked if he should he should call the sheriff, and she said no. 🤦 I know in hindsight she knew she should've, but I think the adrenaline and shock just wasn't letting her think clearly.

      Agree. All prostitution needs to be decriminalised in every country. It demonises women especially. Here in New Zealand prostitution is legal. Sex workers pay taxes & have employment rights just like every worker. They even have a union. The country has not collapsed & we are not over run by crime just because sex workers suddenly get rights.

    I brushed passed the Camden Ripper who lived 1 minute from my main door to my home, he was walking through Oakley Gardens, Mornington Crescent and he stared right at me not breaking eye contact, he was with a younger woman. I didn't know him but I remembered him because the space invader t-shirt he was wearing on the day he was wearing it on the photos in the newspapers that were released when he was apprehended. When you make the connection, your heart jumps and skips a beat.
    I checked out his 3 victims and the woman I saw him with was not one of the victims as far as I know, however, I heard that police now believe that there may have been more victims of the Camden Ripper. I've put out a description of the woman in Camden Ripper videos all over CZcams just in case, someone knows her to be missing. The woman I saw was early 30s, pale whiite skin, dress sense was 80s like say the two young girls from movie 'Rita Bob and Sue Too', I believe she wore a pearl necklace, she had short blonde hair - she was probably a prostitute.
    The woman in the video above suffered at the hands of this maniac. They should have executed Sutcliffe and executed the Camden Ripper, - yes the system failed the Camden Ripper with his meds etc, I've researhed the case reasonably deep but he was a nasty and violent man since he was a young man apparently..
    Shockingly bad policing with this Mo Lea from the Yorkshire police.

I asked him to leave her alone which of course he wouldn't and so contacted Sussex police.

    I was assaulted by my abusive spouse, and when I turned to the police they half-heartedly offered me a non-molestation order, but when I called to ask for it I was laughed at and the officer hung up. My ex took most everything and I can't afford representation in the divorce, and even though I qualify for legal aid I've been begging for more than half a year for help and can't get anyone to help me.
    Its been hugely dehumanizing. It feels like the legal system is saying 'Its fine that you were raped, that you lived in fear of your ex partner who wanted to cut you, who expressed violent antisocial sentiments, and that you were left destitute when your ex took all of the money and forced an alimony agreement you had no say in on you. You deserve it.' There have been many days where if it wasn't for my cats, my tarantulas, my handful of friends that I would have ended myself and still I had to fight those feelings. Alone.
    If anyone knows of a solicitor in England willing to accept legal aid for a divorce please tell me. I've been trying to contact the law society at this point and am having little success. And I need help.

    I only go out with a small group or with my boyfriend. Even then, when I was drunk one night, but my bf was sober so he could drive us home. He noticed a man following us and getting closer to me. He literally had to pull me close to his side and drag me with him. If he weren't there, I wouldn't have noticed the man and probably would have been attacked.
