roosterboost Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 It appears that Rotherham is not alone. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-leeds-31141167 West Yorkshire Police have charged 25 men with child sex offences including rape, grooming and trafficking. The offences are alleged to have been committed between 2006 and 2011 and largely relate to one girl who was under 16 at the time. The men are mainly from Halifax or Bradford, but also Huddersfield, Derby, Shipley, Nantwich and Newport in Wales. All 25 have been released on bail and are due to appear before Calderdale Magistrates' Court on 12 February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roosterboost Posted February 13, 2015 Author Share Posted February 13, 2015 About time too. That's not all of it. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2941963/Police-swoop-45-men-child-sex-grooming-Milestone-operation-sees-suspects-charged-rape-sexual-assault-trafficking.html Dozens of men were yesterday charged with a wide range of sex crimes against vulnerable girls after two separate police investigations. Following a ‘milestone’ operation by Northumbria Police, 20 suspects appeared in court to face charges including rape, sexual assault and sex trafficking. The alleged offences involved 12 victims, including one girl who was aged just 13, with officers vowing to continue their investigation into the abuse of vulnerable children In a separate case, 25 men from Halifax, West Yorkshire, were charged with a number of historic and child-related sex offences. Almost all of the men in both cases are from Asian backgrounds, prompting police leading one of the cases to warn that far-Right groups may use the issue to stir up racial tension.

That type of thinking let people in authority look the other way for years. They should just get on and enforce the law without fear or favour, like they are supposed to do.

Dark Night Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 exactly like they did in Rotherham and now its come back to haunt them . imo the police/councils/government should from now on investigate and if needed prosecute these offenders without fear or favour. True but when a whistle blower is stopped in the street by two policemen and threatened and saying we know where you live, what faith can you have in the police.

crazybaby Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 Probably not , IMO there needs to be a good clear out, starting from the top. "The researcher claims she was approached by two officers while she was in her car at night, to be told it would be a ‘bad thing’ if the abusers she was investigating found out her home address. The researcher, who has not been named, gave evidence in a private session to the Commons Home Affairs Select Committee yesterday, and said she ‘feared for her life’ as a result of harassment in connection with her work." http://www.sheffieldtelegraph.co.uk/news/local/researcher-who-tried-to-expose-rotherham-abuse-feared-for-life-after-police-officers-threat-1-6831507#.VBHrY-pvPPl.twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There does seem to be deep rooted self interest around these parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
