Overview
- GK Barry, the 27‑year‑old social‑media star Grace Keeling, said on Saturday that she was raped when she was 17 by an older man who supervised her during a week of work experience.
- She says she reported the assault to police at the time but was told the case was dismissed for lack of evidence.
- Keeling has included the account in her new book and also posted about it on social media while working with the charity Rape Crisis for support.
- She describes lasting effects including fear of encountering the alleged attacker, avoiding places linked to the experience, and relying on personal support rather than formal therapy.
- The allegation is historic and the alleged attacker has not been named publicly, underscoring how workplace power imbalances and limited evidence can hinder criminal cases for past sexual assaults.
