Emmerdale rape victim Victoria Barton to fall pregnant and then keep baby

Emmerdale fans have been warned to prepare themselves for Victoria Barton's rape storyline to get even darker in the coming weeks.

The ITV soap shocked viewers by airing the violent rape of Victoria before the watershed and there doesn't seem to be any light to the storyline, any time soon.

Victoria, who is played by Isabel Hodgkins was attacked by Lee (Kris Mochrie) after a night out and she will fall pregnant with his child after the brutal rape scenes.

A source has told The Sun that there could be a slice of positivity to come from Victoria's ordeal as she will decide to give the newborn to her brother Robert, and Aaron.

The source says it will be a "bittersweet act" that will hopefully "bring some happiness to viewers" as it fulfills the dream of 'Robron', who are looking to start a family.

After Wednesday's episode, in which the attack on Victoria happened, there were dozens of complaints to Ofcom about the nature of the storyline.

Lee then grabbed Victoria from behind and held his hand over her mouth in the harrowing scenes that shocked viewers.
