​​​​​Like with Rhona's rape, Ashley's dementia, Zak's mental breakdown, Alice's cancer etc, they do these storylines for one purpose - to show viewers what it's like. It's a main character that gets attacked so the viewer sees it from their point of view. I don't believe it will encourage copycat attacks, but will discourage them when the viewers see how the character is changed.
