How I Survived A Yorkshire Ripper Attack | Minutes With |

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.

her anger about the disgraceful police failure is palpable, her disgust towards politicians response like Margaret thatcher is invigorating, the pride in her face and voice as she talked about women marching the streets in protest speaks volumes...her passion and strength of character has obviously been vital in her survival ...she s a woman of incredible character

[@joelhall5124]

Blimey, what do think Thatcher could have done? Toured the country with a shotgun in case she met a serial killer?

[@catau8000]

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

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 was a tennis teacher for wealthy kids in NYC, Gary Wollinsky. 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. They found he owned a cabin upstate NY which was filled with torture devices etc. You can about it on google. (He was popular roller skating playing tennis etc)

Her son came to speak at my school and told his mother's story and how his life was affected after her murder. 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.

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.

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 KZbin 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..

What a queen, absolute warrior, I can't even imagine almost becoming prey to a serial killer like that wouldn't traumatised me for life, I'd struggle to even leave the house....she's unreal x

[@LorienInksong]

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.

Have you reached out to Women's Aid? They might be able to help or give you more info about the best course of action. I hope everything gets better for you.

No contest divorces in UK cost bout 600 quid n can be done online

[@martynraveybracey7202]

womens aid- hang up. no contest divorce of £600- no good when the spouse recieves the money. shelters require benifits to house you are no good either, since you are unfortunaly married, To quote my responses, 'you are your mans problem'. and 'stop wasting our time'. Thats all the help Ive found. Your options are to put up with it, or potentionly recieve worse begging on street. I hope you have more success in finding a 3rd more appealing, practical choice.

I’m not from England so I can’t give any advice, but I wish you the best of luck and hope you can find help.

[@moniqueengleman873]

I lived in England during that time going to college. This was all over the news. My mother was freaked out because I hitched on my own. Which was very common back then. They told people to go out in pairs or more. We walked to the local pub and back.

[@jacwindsor5552]

It was common back then but there were a lot of stories about lone hitchhikers being attacked even then and the information helped me not ever hitchhike, although I did cadge a lift from a lone policeman, and looking back he could have been a Wayne Couzens. At the time you avoid men in cars and lorries and one would have thought lone policeman with a responsible job would be ok but we know know that a good job with the police doesn't make a blind bit of difference to a predator with sexual violent fantasies.

[@amandaloxley2012]

Yes. One imagines that justice always prevails, and it's the injustice of it all that has in fact caused the most hurt. I love this woman's eloquence. I love this woman's strength. I love this woman's dignity. I love this woman's courage. I love this woman's resilience. Thank you for putting out this video and may she find peace and true happiness in what is left in this lifetime. Bless you Mo.

[@darrenfield8546]

She states if at around 12.20 in that if they took her seriously then Jaqueline Hill possibly wouldn’t be attacked.. nonsense as Uphaya Bandara was attacked just around the corner around the same time where Mo Lea’s fairytale happened a couple of miles away.If you know about this case then you know what Mo Lea says is nonsense,even in her description she states her attacker was a young man,Lea was 20 and Sutcliffe was 34 but the biggest hint that Sutcliffe wasn’t her attacker is she failed to mention his beard and moustache in her description

[@soniasamivillin743]

I love the advice she gives us at the end.

[@jeananneramsden]

So sorry for what you went through both from Sutcliffe and the attitude of the police. You must have reserves of strength you never knew you had to survive and then talk about it as you have now.

It's crazy that women still can't reclaim the night in 2022, I'm living in Europe (France and Luxembourg) and we are still told to be careful and not go out alone at night because of all the psycho men out there

[@matthoward7645]

So stay away from areas with psycho men there's more women on the street and out all the time where I'm from in England always is there's also creepy people just don't go dark places or accept drinks etc 🤷🏼‍♂️

@@scuttledspatula8837 sorry but literally that's just so unbelievably incorrect, specific cases of male to female violence cool ye be scared men are literally leagues above women of being in danger during late hours, your facts are just completely wrong men are attacked,murdered,robbed,raped on average more then females in pretty much every country. It is unsafe for humans to be outside regardless of gender if they ain't being smart it's not a damn gender issue if it is then the issue is men are attacked more and that should be addressed

​@@darrenfield8546 how could you know better than her? Perhaps because it reveals sutcliffe as the deranged copycat killer. You need to delude people to keep him as the ripper. So that's your game plan Darren. You're a police nark. 😂😂😂😂
