Grooming gang guilty of raping and abusing girls
BBC ^ | June 13 | BBC

Posted on 06/13/2025 6:20:47 AM PDT by RandFan

Seven men have been found guilty of sexually exploiting two teenage girls who were repeatedly raped and assaulted in Rochdale for five years.

The gang was convicted of various sexual offences against the girls between 2001 and 2006.

The victims, known as Girl A and Girl B, were groomed from the age of 13 and treated as "sex slaves", being expected to "have sex with the men whenever and wherever they wanted", the trial heard.

Girl A told the jury she could have been targeted by more than 200 men, while Girl B said social workers had regarded her as "a prostitute" from the age of 10.

Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court heard that both girls had "deeply troubled home lives" and were plied with drugs, alcohol and cigarettes and given places to stay by the men, who worked on the town's market or as taxi drivers.

The prosecution said the girls were "children passed around for sex, abused, degraded and then discarded", adding: "They became sex slaves."

Girl A told the jury she may have been preyed on by hundreds of men as her phone number was swapped, but said "there was that many it was hard to keep count".

She told local children's services in 2004 that she was "hanging around" with groups of older men, drinking and taking cannabis, the court heard.

Girl B, who was living in a children's home when she came into contact with the men on the market, said police and social workers knew what was going on but "weren't concerned enough to do anything about it".

Are these the first convictions among the 100,000 white girls raped by muslims?

England swings like a pendulum do...all ya’ need is love, imagine there’s no countries...right?

Wonder how many months of harsh scolding, house detention and supervision these monsters will get before they are deemed “punished”.

Where are our feminist pink riot paid “activists”? Probably discussing the Handmaidens Tale or kicking 5 trained soldiers butts at once. Certainly not really protecting anyone.

Apparently, there have been very rare cases of convictions. Via Grok:

“ Yes, members of so-called “grooming gangs” in Britain, including individuals of Pakistani Muslim background, have been prosecuted and imprisoned. Multiple high-profile cases across towns like Rotherham, Rochdale, and Telford have led to convictions.
• Rotherham: In 2010, five British-Pakistani men were convicted of sexual offenses against girls aged 12–16. By September 2024, Operation Stovewood, a major investigation, resulted in seven men being jailed for child sex abuse offenses committed in the 2000s. For example, Arshid Hussain and his brothers were convicted in 2016 for rape, false imprisonment, and other crimes, with sentences ranging up to 35 years.
• Rochdale: In May 2012, nine men, eight of British-Pakistani origin and one Afghan asylum-seeker, were convicted of sex trafficking, rape, and conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child. Sentences ranged from 4 to 19 years. Operation Doublet later led to 42 convictions with a total of 432 years in jail by January 2024.
• Other Cases: In Keighley, eight Pakistani men were convicted in 2025 for raping a girl in her early teens, with sentences from 4.5 to 9 years. In Telford, cases like that of Lucy Lowe’s abuser, Azhar Ali Mahmood, highlighted convictions, though some perpetrators received lighter sentences or were released early.
While prosecutions have occurred, criticisms persist about leniency, early releases, and failures to deport some offenders. For instance, Qari Abdul Rauf in Rochdale served only 2.5 years of a 6-year sentence and was not deported by 2021. ”

Socialism created an atomized and anonymous society where people were disconnected from civil society and common morality.

Socialism created a class of poor, parentless, rootless, children and broken families

And then socialism imported the 3rd world animals to prey on them.

I wonder if the government workers were afraid of reporting crimes committed by a protected minority group. They had to protect their own jobs.

Police and social workers knew what was going on but 'weren't concerned enough to do anything about it.'

Because social workers and police well know in the current police state once known as "Britain" they would instantly be accused of racism and incitement to violence and not only lose their jobs but serve long prison sentences as well.

...while Girl B said social workers had regarded her as "a prostitute" from the age of 10.

So these mental midget social workers consider a child under 10 has the ability to be a prostitute...while under the age of consent? M'kay.

They haven’t been sentenced. Odds are 99% they will get a slap on the wrist.

What is appalling is the British authorities dismissal of any concern about Caucasian children being raped because the powers that be did not want to appear racist.

So, it took the UK gov’mt 20 years to do something on this — which is widespread and well known.
Typical from Starmaer — who got his career going by freely defending groomers and rapists.
