The Attempted Ravishing of Miss Dickinson
News of the Times Episode 286 | 1875
1875 London, and all of England is agog with the scandal that Colonel Valentine Baker, personal friend of Bertie, Prince of Wales, soldier within the Queen’s Guard – a highly prestigious position - and celebrated war hero has been accused of an assault of a sexual nature on a train against a young lady whom he does not know.
As further details come out, it would seem that it had been an attempted ravishing – another word for rape in Victorian England. The case is further amplified by the young woman hanging out of a train for 5 miles rather than submit to his attack.
The case’s salacious and celebrity status – Colonel Baker regularly rubbing shoulders with the aristocracy and highest echelons of society – ensures that this is the only topic of conversation in London society at the time.
We take a look at the crime, the case and the trial of the attempted ravishing of Miss Dickinson in today’s episode of Frightful Fridays
Hosted by Robin Coles.
