Just a thought, they're rhetorical questions so no need for the righteous brothers and sisters to stoke their collective boiler of
sarcasm, snideness and outrage just yet
Maybe the police were already involved when it first happened and Duffy was able to contain the situation without media attention. I really do hope so. If not, then the perpetrater is still out there and will have seen everything she has said. She would no doubt have been scared to share what had happened to her on a social media platform.

They are not rhetorical questions if they are asked to named individuals - those require a response, which they have received.
//NJ. Why do you waste your time posting on threads which mean nothing to you ?//
They don't mean nothing to me. If what this lady alleges is true she has been the victim of a very serious crime. But I've no idea who she is. That doesn't mean I'm trying to trivialise her alleged ordeal. But she's spoken of as if she is my next door neighbour and that's what I find puzzling. Despite emmie's helpful reply yesterday morning I'm afraid I'm still none the wiser, but accept that she is a chanteuse whose performances some people enjoy.
There are probably many people of whom I have heard in areas that are of interest to me who few on here will know of. If I posted something about them like this I would not be surprised if somebody asked who they were. But I wouldn't suggest that those exhibiting such ignorance should steer clear entirely. Khandro hit the nail on the head at 18:12 yesterday.
The main element of this thread is the appalling allegations that "Duffy" has finally made public and to suggest the question is of no interest to me simply because I don't know who Duffy is suggests that a little tolerance might no go amiss.

if you want people to think that the question is of interest to you, then make responses that show it is!

All I did was asked who the lady was because I genuinely have never heard of her. I'm not particularly concerned whether people think the question is of interest to me or not and they can choose to ignore my responses. I was puzzled why her tale had hit the headlines (and still am to a certain degree) and thought that finding out who she is might cure my bewilderment. It didn't, but I'm glad I asked nonetheless.
Just re-read your first two responses, NJ, and it certainly does appear that at the very least you were being a tad facetious.
You didn't just ask who they were. You said the only Duffy you know of was in a sitcom. And you very obviously knew it wasn't the Duffy being talked about on here. It was explained who (or what) Duffy is in the opening sentence of the thread!
I'm impressed NJ that you knew that Duffy from please Sirs first name was Eric. I will now hide behind the sofa until the righteous brigade have exhausted their indignation.
Further to Police involvement without pressed-charges;
A fortnight ago the high court ruled that police unlawfully interfered with a man's right to free speech by turning up at his place of work to speak to him about allegedly "transphobic tweets". The police had told Harry Miller that he had not committed a crime but his tweeting was being recorded as a 'hate incident'.
