Sexual exploitation of children by Pakistanis in South Yorkshire

Rotherham Council proposed the lessons to the girl, who was known by social services to have been sexually exploited, in an attempt 'to engage' her in education.

The documents show that authorities were aware of a problem of offenders, largely men of Pakistani heritage, sexually exploiting vulnerable girls, but never publicly acknowledged that it was happening.

A child welfare expert, speaking under condition of anonymity, said the agencies' reluctance to tackle street-grooming networks was 'the biggest child protection scandal of our time'.

The papers outline many cases of alleged sexual exploitation for which no one was prosecuted, including:

Fifty-four children from Rotherham were linked to sexual exploitation by three brothers from a British Pakistani family. Eighteen girls identified one brother as their 'boyfriend'. He allegedly made several of them pregnant.

An intelligence report for police identified 61 girls who were linked to sexual exploitation by three brothers from another British Pakistani family. It named 41 of the brothers' associates, who allegedly used girls for sex.

A 14-year-old girl was allegedly held in a flat and forced to perform sex acts on four Pakistani men and an Iraqi Kurd asylum seeker. She was interviewed by police on camera and identified her alleged abusers.

A 15-year-old girl spent days in hospital after a broken bottle was allegedly forced inside her by two young men in a park.

After neighbours heard screaming, a 13-year-old girl was found at 3am in a house with a large group of men who had given her vodka. Police arrested the child for being drunk and disorderly but did not question the men.

Among the papers is a confidential 2010 police intelligence report warning that thousands of sexual exploitation crimes are committed in South Yorkshire each year.

'Possibly the most shocking threat is the existence of substantial and organised offender networks that groom and exploit victims on a worrying scale,' the report states. 'Practitioners throughout the force state there is a problem with networks of Asian offenders both locally and nationally.

 

'This was particularly stressed in Sheffield and even more so in Rotherham, where there appears to be a significant problem with networks of Asian males exploiting young white females.'

Shocking. What is even more shocking is that Police knew about this and didn't publicly acknowledge it, or do much about it.

I give this thread 30 minutes before its deleted.

A touchy subject.

The Times is carrying major coverage dispassionately and fairly, so why cannot SF debate the topic?

It is a touchy subject, and no doubt emotions will run high. So if posters could show some restraint, then the thread will be able to continue indefinitely.

This subject needs to be talked about. It needs to be debated out in the open. These terrible crimes need to be punished and prevented in the first place, ideally eradicated for good.

Not much to debate really. Shocking stuff.

Somebody somewhere must be held accountable and the cases re-investigated to try and convict the abusers. These guys wont have just stopped what they were doing and changed their ways. They'll be doing it as I type to young girls in a street near you.

C'mon Jeffrey. Folk on here cant discuss as you describe. Give it 10 mins and the slanging match will have started.

No surprises here.

The PC brigade got their way which led to the authorities being backed into a corner which led to stories like this - and they're plentiful - receiving the hush-hush treatment.

Esp. the oh-so-careful sensitivity of the part of RMBC and SYP.

Which led to victims being left unhelped- not even listened to- in order not to cause racial waves.

its the giant elephant in the room that nobody dare talk about........amongst many others, its sick and been going on for years, debate stopped by the handwringing liberal multiculturists and politicians scared of loosing a growing section of voters!

Weather people like it or not it a fact! Sexual exploitation is far more of a problem than people realize , however its not exclusively Pakistani men who are exploiting young girls its all nationalities!!
