And Yet another one - Rotherham: Gang Of Seven Men Found Guilty In Landmark Child Sexual Abuse Case

Seven men have been found guilty of sexually exploiting vulnerable teenage girls in Rotherham, in the biggest prosecution of child sexual exploitation in the town.

Sheffield Crown Court heard how the men targeted and groomed the teenagers before subjecting them to acts of a “degrading and violent nature”.

The case is the first major prosecution arising out of Operation Stovewood – the National Crime Agency (NCA)’s massive inquiry into historical child sexual exploitation in the South Yorkshire town, which has identified more than 1,500 victims.

This investigation was set up following the 2014 Jay Report which revealed the shocking scale of sexual exploitation and abuse in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013 – and the failure of police and social services to intervene at the time.

It has been described it as the “biggest child protection scandal in UK history”.

The jury in the trial which finished on Monday were told how girls, who are now women in their 30s, were “lured by the excitement of friendship with older Asian youths” but then sexually assaulted and passed between men.


One of the complainants told a trial at Sheffield Crown Court how she had sex with “at least 100 Asian men” by the time she was 16 and another described how she was gang-raped in a forest and then threatened with being abandoned there.

One of the eight defendants was acquitted of all charges by the jury, which deliberated for just over six hours.

The seven men who were found guilty will be sentenced in November and were remanded in custody.

And it continues even today ...possibly in a town near you.

Tip of the iceberg...

Over here, that's just training for a Supreme Court appointment.

The question is, how many more, will come to light?

Probably plenty. I think it's general knowledge now that these gangs were operating as long as 3 even 4 decades ago. They were allowed to continue, and they continue today.
The girls who were used and abused back then when they were underage are now coming forwards,  they are no longer kids as young as eleven years old, they are grown women and they are being listened to at last,  hence the many historic cases that are coming to light now.

What's really disturbing here is why this has been allowed to go on and snowball. And also why these men are all Pakistani?

It was allowed to carry on because the men were shielded, not only in their own communities but by police and authorities who turned a blind eye for fear of causing ructions, which was obviously the worst way of dealing with it.

To a lesser extent the BBC did exactly the same for decades....though they were not race/religious hate crimes they were certainly shielding many paedophiles, led of course by the odious Saville.

For different reasons though still with the same outcome. The fact that nobody dared speak up because these perverts are Muslim is just about as bad as it gets. As for Savile, that was a different era....in the 70's and 80's stuff like that was just brushed under the carpet. These days this shouldn't be happening.

Fear of speaking out, not acted on when some did speak out, and police disinterest in the victims suffering allowed both Saville and his cronies to flourish, just as it allowed the Muslim gangs to flourish.

It shouldnt have happened then and it shouldnt be happening now.
