Police have been accused of “victim blaming” children who were targeted by grooming gangs in the Telford sex abuse scandal.
Officers investigating child sexual exploitation in the town were sent an internal memo telling them “in most cases the sex is consensual”.
Some of the victims were just 11 years old and specialist child abuse lawyer Dino Nocivelli said: “This is victim blaming at its worst.
“The authorities just don’t seem to get it. Children cannot agree to sex.
“Just because a child is not being physically forced to carry out sexual acts, it doesn’t mean they consented.”
A Mirror investigation has revealed how up to 1,000 girls could have been abused in Telford over four decades.
Mr Nocivelli, of the firm Bolt Burdon Kemp, said: “Many of these children will have been groomed and manipulated by their abusers and would have been threatened to keep silent. How can you say an 11-year-old is capable of consenting to sex with a 40-year-old? This is rape.”
The Operation Chalice investigation into grooming gangs in the Shropshire town ended in 2012 after just seven people – including the brothers Ahdel Ali, then 24, and Mubarek Ali, 29 – had been jailed, even though police admitted as many as 200 men may be involved.
The following year, West Mercia Police sent the memo to police investigating ongoing child sexual exploitation in the force area.
A person under 16 cannot be deemed in law to have consented to sex, but the word “consensual” was used to describe offences involving children four times in the memo...

Sounds like the British Bobbies have turned into American-style cops, complete with thugs and cowards.
After the first few times, anyway.
The once “Great” Britain was mightily used to spread the Gospel world wide.
Now they have forsaken the Way and God has put strong delusion on their land... They have allowed the Canaanites in and doom is nigh unless they repent.
So if someone rapes the cops they will call it consensual?
Yes, you consent when someone holds a knife to your neck.
Release the Home Office’s Grooming Gang Review in full
The Government is refusing to release official research on the characteristics of grooming gangs, claiming it is not in the “public interest”.
We, the British public, demand the release of the official research on grooming gangs undertaken by the Government in full.
