Rotherham Rape Gang Scandal -The Cover Up And The Evidence

Something that has appalled us Boggart Bloggers in the days since Elon Musk waded into UK political debate and reignited the scandal over multiple failures by government at all levels, social services departments, care agencies, the police and mainstream media to act on numerous reports of organised gangs of (mainly Pakistani) Muslim men systematiclly grooming, raping and abusing young girls, is the number of lefties in media and in comment threads trying to discredit those of us who hae been highlighting this issue by claiming there is 'no evidence' of a coverup or any failure or dereliction of duty by any official and the whole thing has been cooked up by 'far right' conspiracy theorists. 

There is ample evidence, some of which is presented here, showing that while the authorities turned a blind eye, fearing that action would open them to accusations of racism and might provoke inter racial conflict in their communities, in spite of some prosecutions the abuse continued unabated and is still going on. The posts below focus on events in the city of Rotherham in Yorkshire, and the 2014 report into the crimes commissioned by Rotherham City Council and led by Sociology Professor Alexis Jay. They said they wanted evidence, the alt_news community can bury these snivelling collaborators in evidence. A link to the full rext of Prof. Jay's report is included in the text. 

In view of the vitriolic attacks on people who have lobbied for a full national public inquiry into the scandal we think these posts are too important to languish in the archives while the terrible crimes inflicted on oung women and girsl go unpunished and the perpetrators are free to continue their depraved activities.

 

12 More Men Charged with Child Sex Abuse Offences in Grooming Gang Investigation

In the latest development of the now globally notorious Rotherham sex abuse case, a further 12 Muslim men of Pakistani or Bangladeshi origin have been charged in connection with the sexual abuse of eight young girls in Rotherham as part of a National Crime Agency (NCA) investigation into child abuse among predominantly Muslim grooming gangs.

Aged between 33 and 38, the men are accused of a total of 44 offences including rape and false imprisonment. This latest prosecution brings the number charged under Operation Stovewood — the Agency’s probe into historical child sex abuse in the Yorkshire town — to 21.

The latest charges are related to eight girls under the age of 16, over a five year period from 1998 to 2008, according to the NCA.

Mohammed Ashan, 33, and Waseem Khaliq, 33, each of whom face indecent assault and rape charges, and 33-year-old Masaeud Malik, charged with one count of indecent assault, remain in custody according to the NCA’s press release. Nabeel Kurshid, 34, and Iqlak Yousaf, 33, each face two allegations of rape and one of indecent assault, whilst 38-year-old Amjal Rafiq has been charged with false imprisonment and indecent assault. Mohammed Imran Ali Akhtar, 36, Tanweer Ali, 36, Aftab Hussain, 38, and Abid Saddiq, 36, each face a string of accusations including indecent assault and rape, according to the Daily Mail. Salah Ahmed El-Hakam, 38, is charged with one count of rape, whilst 33-year-old Sharaz Hussain faces one count of indecent assault.

All 12 men are due to appear at Sheffield Crown Court on the 24th of October.

Senior investigating officer, Paul Williamson, said: “We have now charged 21 men with over 94 child sexual abuse offences and expect this number to increase as more victims come forward. "Officers are investigating more than 80 suspects and with the support of partner agencies, are currently engaging with 235 victims.

"Our focus is to bring lasting and worthwhile benefits for victims, helping to build better futures.

"We will listen to their accounts and investigate allegations made to identify and bring offenders to justice.

"This focus has not wavered and we, along with our partners will persist in our efforts to make Rotherham a hostile environment for child sex offenders."

In 2014, a government report authored by Prof. Alexis Jay revealed that more than 1,400 children had been raped, trafficked, and sexually abused in Rotherham by gangs of mostly Muslim men.

The NCA set up Operation Stovewood after an independent inquiry conducted in 2014 found evidence that both South Yorkshire police and the local council had turned a blind eye to the abuse for fear of being accused of racism, and out of concern that taking action would damage "community relations".

Last year The Yorkshire Post reported how almost 200 police officers were under investigation by the police watchdog for conspiring to cover up the abuse.

South Yorkshire Police Commissioner Shaun Wright Finally Resigns Over Rotherham Child Abuse Scandal

The man who bears most responsibility for failure to investigate the Rotherham child abuse scandal has finally resigned after three weeks of excuses and evasions.

Police Commissioner Wright has been under pressure ever since a report by Prof Alexis Jay (see below) revealed a huge level of child abuse in the South Yourkshire town of Rotherham. The organised sex crime rings had been operating for many years but large scalw abouse was taking place on Wright's watch while police turned a blind eye because the perpetrators were predominantly Asian and it would have been politically incorrect to go after them.

Wright has until now resisted calls for his resignation, but in a statement issued today, he said: "My role as South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner has clearly become prominent in terms of public opinion and media coverage following the publication of Professor Alexis Jay's report.

"This is detracting from the important issue, which should be everybody's focus - the 1400 victims outlined in the report - and in providing support to victims and bringing to justice the criminals responsible for the atrocious crimes committed against them.

"With this in mind, I feel that it is now right, to step down... for the sake of those victims, for the sake of the public of South Yorkshire and to ensure that the important issues outlined in the report about tackling child sexual exploitation can be discussed and considered in full and without distraction."

UKIP MEP Jane Collins, who was narrowly beated in a by election for the town's parliamentary seat but now looks likely to win it at next year's general election, has called for Wright to now face legal action over his failure to protect children.

"This man should be prosecuted for his many failures to act to protect children, while serving as cabinet member for child services on Rotherham MBC," she said.

"It is disgusting that he has waited this long to resign. The audacity of those involved in the numerous grave failings of Rotherham Council and Child Protection Services is appalling. Do they still not accept or understand the severity of the consequences of their wilful inaction?

"I can only hope that now Wright has gone, others directly involved in covering up these horrific crimes will also resign from their highly paid, public funded positions and permit investigation into how this entire sorry affair was able to go unchecked for so many years.

"Joyce Thacker, Strategic Director of Children’s Services in Rotherham should certainly be considering her position today, as should every single one of the town's councillors present when the issue of child sexual exploitation was discussed in graphic detail at a council meeting in 2005."

Looks like the fun, finger pointing, blame shifting and recrimination has a long way to run in Rotherham.

Rotherham: In the face of such evil, who is the racist now?

Here's a question for wannabe Mastermind contestants. If South Yorkshire Police can mount a raid on the home of pop singer Sir Cliff Richard, two hundred miles away from their patch in pursuit of evidence linked to a single and unsubstantiated allegation of child sex abuse 30 years ago, why were the same South Yorkshire Police force unable to conduct a proper investigation into multiple allegations against men who raped 1,400 children over 16 years?

Rotherham, once a respectable northern industrial town has now become a byword for depravity thanks to the politically correct multiuculturalism that permits what are to British values acts of gross depravity by people who identify themselves as being of a different culture against some of the most vulnerable people in society. We have seen child-grooming cases before, but the appalling histories revealed in the report by Professor Alexis Jay (full text, 159 pagtes in pdf format) amount to evidence of abuse on an industrial scale.

Jay states that men of Pakistani heritage treated white girls like toilet paper. They picked children up from schools and care homes and trafficked them across northern cities for other men to join in the fun. They doused a 15-year-old in petrol and threatened to set her alight should she dare to report them. They menaced entire families and made young girls watch as they raped other children.

These truly horrible things happened in our country – not in the distant, brutal past, not in the distant, brutal conflict zones of the thid world, but here in our british cities as recently as last year according to evidence and only a fool would believe it is not still going on. All but one of the perpetrators brought to trial in Rotherham were Muslims of Pakistani heritage who would have related to Cliff Richard’s 1950s hit, Living Doll.

The dolls of Rotherham were bent and twisted to their masters’ will. There was no escape, the abuse was so gross they were desensitised, gang rape, anal rape, sadism, it was all there. As the sterling Professor Jay observes, South Yorkshire Police and the smug superior local politicians in the Labour Party dominated town "regarded many child victims with contempt", nothing more than scum from broken homes.

One 11-year-old known as Child H told police that she and another girl had been sexually assaulted by grown men. Nothing was done. When she was 12, Child H was found in the back of a taxi with a man who had indecent pictures of her on his phone. Despite the full co-operation of her father, who insisted his daughter was being abused, police failed to act. Four months later, Child H was found in a house alone with a group of Pakistani men. What did the police do? They arrested the child for being drunk and disorderly and ignored her abusers. It was not this poor, abused child who waas scum but the coppers who betrayed their oath in order to suck up to their left wing political bosses.

Rotherham child sex abuse scandal: More victims identifies, more cover ups exposed.

“Girls from poorer families were not worth saving”, one official document quoted, revealing the contempt of politically correct lefties on ritherham Council for the working class people they had been elected to serve. Blundering police and town hall officials now face fresh inquiries into their “complete dereliction of duty” over child sex abuse in Rotherham, the Home Secretary said.

New victims of sexual exploitation in Rotherham have come forward as the scandal over the systematic abuse of children continues to engulf the town’s council and South Yorkshire Police. Inspectors are about to be sent into the authority by the Government to investigate why it did not raise the alarm over the scale of activities by paedophile gangs.

The county’s chief constable, David Crompton, disclosed his force had been contacted by 12 new potential victims since the publication of a devastating report detailing the abuse of at least 1,400 young people over 16 years.

In a statement to MPs, the Home Secretary Theresa May accused police and councillors of a “complete dereliction of duty” in their failure to respond to complaints about the activities of abusers.

Last week’s report by Professor Alexis Jay concluded that councillors, council officers and police officers were aware of the widespread abuse of girls, but failed to tackle it. The children, many of whom were in local authority care, were groomed, raped and trafficked by groups of men in the town between 1997 and 2013 ... continue reading

May blames 'institutionalised political correctness' for Rotherham scandal

Theresa May has described the failures of police and council agencies in Rotherham to deal with child sex abuse as a complete dereliction of duty. In a strongly worded statement, the home secretary told MPs that "institutionalised political correctness" had contributed to the authorities turning a blind eye to the abuse of at least 1,400 in Rotherham between 1997 to 2013.

"Like the rest of this House, I was appalled to read about these victims and the horrific experiences to which they were subjected," she said. "Many also suffered the injustice of seeing their cries for help ignored and the perpetrators not yet brought to justice. There can be no excuse for that."

May, who was responding to an urgent question by Yvette Cooper, the shadow home secretary, said she would meet Prof Alexis Jay – who wrote last week's damning report into the Rotherham child sex abuse scandal – and chair meetings with other ministers, to see what could be done to prevent any repeats.

May said Eric Pickles, the communities secretary, was minded to order an investigation into Rotherham, and into whether it is complying with its best practice duty ... continue reading

Yorkshire MP Julian Smith has now pitched in, saying the Government must take control of Rotherham council’s children’s services department to prevent more kids from being abused.

“It beggars belief that Rotherham Council today retains responsibility for children’s services,” he said.

The Labour Party, which has traditionally controlled Rotherham council said it was suspending the council Labour group's former leader, deputy leader and two former Mayors as the fall-out from the scandal continues to gather momentum. And South Yorkshire Police will initaiate an independent inquiry into it own failings, overseen by another force. Chief Constable David Crompton revealed 12 more victims have come forward since the report was published.
