Harrow: A shocking incident unfolded when a group of teens attacked a transgender girl at a roller skate disco. They lured her there and then brutally stabbed and beat her.
Summer Betts-Ramsey was the one who stabbed the victim nine times. This all happened after a guy named Bradley Harris organized the attack. It was a horrifying scene, and the girl was just 18 at the time.
The attack took place at Harrow Leisure Centre in North West London last February. It all started after the victim had been intimate with Harris, who then shared a video of it on Snapchat. After finding out she was transgender, he decided to ambush her.
During the attack, the victim was not only stabbed but also beaten by several others. Thankfully, she survived but had to go to the hospital and later needed plastic surgery.
In court, it was revealed that Betts-Ramsey had a fascination with knives and even had them sent to her workplace. After the attack, she showed no remorse, which the judge called “shamelessly hateful.”
The judge described the attack as premeditated and motivated by the victim’s gender identity. The victim was punched, kicked, and stabbed, suffering nine stab wounds in total.
Harris and his friends had planned this attack over Snapchat, using derogatory terms for the victim. Betts-Ramsey was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in a young offenders’ institute, while others involved received various sentences.
The victim shared how the attack left her feeling depressed and constantly fearful. She expressed concern that the attackers might come after her again once they’re released.
