Sophie Lancaster

Sophie Lancaster ( November 26th, 1986 – August 24, 2007) was a British woman (22) who was brutally attacked along with her boyfriend, Robert Maltby while walking through Stubby Lee Park in Bacup, Rossendale in Lancashire. As a result of her severe head injuries she went into a coma, never regained consciousness and later died. The attack was made simply because of the clothing they wore. Attackers Brenden Harris 15 and Ryan Herbert 16 were drunk when they stamped on the heads of Sophie and Robert. Their sentence was 18 years in jail. Sophie's mother has created an orginization in her memory called s.o.p.h.i.e which stands for stamp out prejudice hate intolerance everywhere. This is an orginization promoting tolerance and awareness of the hardships and prejudices that members of the Gothic subculture face.

Girl one: "Did you see Jessica mocking that girl?"

Girl two: "Yeah. Let's hope she doesn't become another Sophie Lancaster."
