One woman, identified only as girl A, was filmed being sexually assaulted while passed out from vodka as members of the gang laughed before sharing the video, a Manchester court heard. Girl A was aged just 12 when the abuse first started. Her and another child aged 13, identified as girl B, were abused for four years between 2002 and 2006.
Manchester Evening News The trial at Minshull Street Crown Court heard the victims would often be picked up from outside their schools, still in their uniforms, and sexually assaulted against a school wall, in cars, in public parks, on Saddleworth Moor and in flats and houses.
On Thursday, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said Mohammed Ghani, 38, Insar Hussain, 38, Jahn Shahid Ghani, 50, and Ali Razza Hussain Kasmi, 36, all of Rochdale, were found guilty of various child sex offences. Three men were cleared of all wrongdoing. Ikhlaq Yousef, Aftar Khan and Mohammed Iqbal were discharged from the dock.
A gang of men who plied young girls with alcohol and drugs before sexually abusing them have been found guilty of a series of crimes. Eight men had gone on trial accused of a catalogue of offences alleged to have occurred in Rochdale.
Two girls were abused in the town over several years in the mid 2000s. The pair were passed around by the gang and treated as ‘mere objects’ for them to ‘use, abuse, humiliate then discard’, Minshull Street Crown Court heard.
The crimes only came to light in 2015 after one victim, now aged in her 30s, told how she’d been ‘abused daily’. She claimed they would be ‘feeding me alcohol and drugs… and pass me on to their friends.”
After the hearing, Sarah Jackson, assistant chief constable at GMP, paid tribute to the bravery of both victims. She said: “These convictions are a testament to the true resilience of the victims and survivors who, thankfully, felt able to trust Greater Manchester Police, and have the confidence in the criminal justice system to support prosecutions. They demonstrated such bravery in testifying against these offenders on their journey to justice.
“This result is long-awaited – we are truly thankful to the victims and survivors for their continued patience and engagement, as we followed due process to ensure sound prosecutions. We understand that CSE (child sexual exploitation) can often have a lifelong impact on those affected – as such, specialist services will continue to provide them with care for as long as they need.”
She said the convictions followed an eight year investigation and is first of five ‘cohorts’ of charges under Operation Lytton. ACC Jackson added: “These convictions are also a significant milestone on our continuing journey to improve investigations into non-recent child sexual exploitation across Greater Manchester.

the crimes are horrific. the delayed justice is tragic. i expect forensic evidence was available from the start. i expect the identities of the perpetrators were ascertained. i cannot understand how crimes from the mid 2000s cannot be brought to trial sooner rather than 2022/2023. this is a breakdown of an otherwise well administered justice system in the UK. i would not be surprised to learn that unacceptable lawyers’ delays, muslim advocacy groups and political interference from high sources played a part in this delay. justice delayed is justice denied. now there has to be a wait for the sentencing. let’s hope it provides the correct measure of justice for law and order in the UK as well as the victims and their families.

No, it;s a further breakdown of a useless biassed justice system !

If you’re able to watch it (it’s on Brtibox and probably other places too) check out “Three Girls” which is a dramatization of what happened in Rochdale. There’s also a YouTube video. It’s titled “The Betrayed Girls” and it’s a documentary that features the actual people who were dramatized in the show. The show “Three Girls” features Sara Robotham (portrayed by Maxine Peake, who is outstanding), DC Margaret Oliver (portrayed by Leslie Sharp), and many more. The link to the documentary on YouTube is here: https://youtu.be/rBOisL1nhZw. I also read the book “Girl A”, after seeing “Three Girls”. The absolute failure of everyone who was supposed to be protecting these girls is shameful.

The thing is Bonnie, that Rome started having a population problem AFTER the Christian church forbade sexual slavery. The muz continue practicing sexual slavery and have no population problem. Many kids were born out of these unions, but UK is suppressing info on that.
BareNakedIslam says
pip, I never heard about that before. What year was that?

but you need to do your own in-depth research 🙂 Western Roman empire did have a population problem toward the end.

Most prostitutes were slaves or freedwomen; male prostitutes also existed. Prostitutes in the city of Rome were registered with the aediles,[291] and prostitution was legal throughout the Roman Empire in all periods before Christian hegemony.[292] Sexual slavery was forbidden by the Church, and Christian pressure curtailed or altogether ended traditional spectacles and games (ludi) such as gladiator matches and public theatrical performances.[293]

Probably they mean adultery, sex outside marriage, forbidden by Christianity.
