| "Anonymous" at Occupy Chicago in 2012 |
From the Daily Mail:
An anarchist leader twice raped a woman at the infamous protest camp on the steps of St Paul’s Cathedral, the Old Bailey heard today.
The alleged assaults happened at the squalid tent city set up by hundreds of anti-capitalists in the Occupy London group.
Malcolm Blackman, self-styled leader of computer hacking group Anonymous UK, raped the woman in her tent twice in seven days, including once when she had passed out drunk, the court heard.
The woman sobbed as she told the jury why she had not informed other Occupy members about the alleged rapes. 'It was all, protest, protest, protest, and if you had any personal issues you were out of line,' she said. She was scared to report the rapes for fear of upsetting the 'togetherness' of the group, which reportedly encouraged members to ‘focus on the protests'.
The woman also claims she was raped a third time and her hands violently bound with plastic ties – although Blackman, 45, has not been charged with this alleged offence.
