Police and social workers were last night accused of failing to investigate an Asian paedophile gang for fear of being perceived as racist, allowing them to prey on up to 50 young white girls.
The nine men from Rochdale were yesterday convicted of abusing five vulnerable teenagers after plying them with alcohol, food and small sums of money in return for sex.
However, the true number of victims, who were "passed around" by the gang, is likely to be nearer to 50, police have admitted.
Greater Manchester Police and the Crown Prosecution Service have now apologised after they failed to bring the case of the first victim - Girl A - to trial following her cry for help in August 2008.
One 13 year-old victim became pregnant and had the child aborted while another was forced to have sex with 20 men in one night, Liverpool Crown Court heard.
Complaints to social workers and the police were ignored because they were "petrified of being called racist", former Labour MP for Keighley Ann Cryer said.
Mrs Cryer, who has campaigned to bring the issue of Asian sex gangs to light, said the girls had been "betrayed" and condemned to "untold misery" by the police and social services.
"This is an absolute scandal. They were petrified of being called racist and so reverted to the default of political correctness," she said.
"They had a greater fear of being perceived in that light than in dealing with the issues in front of them."
Girl A told police that she had been raped and provided DNA evidence from her attacker, however the CPS twice decided not to prosecute him.
The 15 year-old's abuse continued and at its height she was being driven to flats and houses to be raped by

Amen to that!
How do you work that out when they have just been caught, prosecuted, found guilty and jailed for between 4 and 19 years?
He works it out because these stalwart police of yours(I assume you are from GB by your comments, at least one of which is a lie)let this matter go on for years, allowing young girls to be repeatedly gang raped by those filthy animals. Just because they finally acted after years of sitting on their hands out of fear of what people would say about them(the real truth is they feared for their lives from muslims, cowards all)doesn't absolve them of the crimes they committed by ignoring the rapes of underage girls.
“Since anyone over 18 with a clean record can buy a rifle in the US, do you consider that not regulated either?”
If you have to show a clean record, then I guess it’s regulated. Unregulated to me suggests that one has to meet no critieria to purchase an item as an adult.
You need to read replies more carefully.
I responded to the post “It is obvious that the police department involved does not have courage to prosecute”
That clearly says ‘does’. not ‘did’ which is self-evidently wrong as they had already been arrested, prosecuted and jailed when that was written. The CPS may well have taken far too long to prosecute this filth, but I wasn’t commenting on that, nor was I applauding the police for finally acting, I was merely correcting the assertion that they had yet to be prosecuted.
It appears parts of England are no longer civilized. An English friend told me all her family have moved out to Cornwall to get away from the urban deteriorationm, that none live in London any longer. With the supposed “heir to the throne” going around in Muslim dress, is it any wonder?
Caucasians can’t investigate caucasians committing crimes because it would be racist?
My choice of weapon is rusty scissors in the hands of the family of the victim as the perpetrator is kept immobile. Word would soon get around.
If you can’t use your firearms when you need them, they might as well be illegal.
I was trying to illustrate how absurd your statement that since anybody over 21 can buy alcohol, it is not regulated was. I had to take a fairly intense class designed to allow the owner to keep his license and to keep me out of jail just to work in a liquor store in Texas a few years back. Texas has ABC agents using minors to see if they are sold alcohol in stores/bars all the time. Alcohol sales are pretty strictly regulated in the US. From what I have read, knife sales appear to be regulated in the UK. If they are regulated as strictly as alcohol sales are in the US, than it is worse than I had thought.
“If you can’t use your firearms when you need them, they might as well be illegal.”
Well, one is leaning against my desk, one is in the Land Rover and the rifle is in my gun cabinet behind me. That covers most eventualities, though I live on a small island where the greatest crime is a punch-up outside the pub so I’m not hugely in need to defensive firearms! :)
Sounds like my home in FL.
Of course, the county Sheriff’s department maintains a shooting range a with $55 / membership fee for a family AND a $65 fee for training for concealed carry licenses, so the reason we’re peaceful might differ just a bit...
Life is good! If only ammo were cheaper, or I had more time to reload!
