Woman, 81, Raped After Getting Off Bus In Balham High Road

An 81-year-old woman was raped after being followed by a man when she got off a bus in a busy road in Balham on Friday. The victim was attacked after she got off the 155 bus in Balham High Road at 8.30pm. She was followed by a man and taken by force to a secluded area where she was raped, police said.

A 41-year-old man has been charged with two counts of rape and one count of kidnap/falsely imprisoning a person with intent to commit a sexual offence. He is due to appear before Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court on Monday morning.

Detectives are appealing for witnesses and are trying to trace the victim’s red jacket that went missing after the attack.

Police believe the coat is of “important evidential value”.

The woman was admitted to hospital after the attack and was later taken to a Haven Sexual Assault Referral Centre, where she was supported by specialist officers.

Sometimes words fail.
Castration and lobotomy would be an apt punishment for him.

I was like what, when I heard this this morning's News. Bloody 41 yr old raping a 81yr old, why?. Because he could, easy target, the dirty stinking deviant. I hope he gets life, rapists should.

That poor lady, thoughts for her. Heaven knows how she feels.
