The U.K. Mirror documents one of the possibly thousands of cases of sexual abuse of underage girls in Rotherham, England:
"Emma told how she was first groomed (deceived into a false sense security by sexual predators) aged 12 by a boy of 17 who came from a wealthy family with Pakistani heritage.
A year later she was raped at an outdoor market while her friend was forced to watch.
Her abuser raped her once a week and then passed her around his friends and relatives, including his brother-in-law and cousins.
We would be in Rotherham town centre and a car would pull up,” explained Emma. “They’d tell me to get into the other car. I was driven to the park and then locked in with a man. . .
“They also locked me in a bedroom flat, took all my clothes off and sent in man after man. I was there for about six hours.”
When Emma finally went to the police, she was told that, given that it was her word against her alleged abuser’s, her case “probably wouldn’t go to court.”
An alarming cover-up of sexual abuse of underage girls has occurred on a large scale in Rotterham, England and has apparently been happening since 1997, a study reports.
An “Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Exploitation in Rotherham,” was commissioned by Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council in 2013. This report was published last year but was largely ignored by the main-stream media.
The report begins with this summary:
“Terrible things happened in Rotherham and on a significant scale. Children were sexually exploited by men who came largely from the Pakistani Heritage Community. Not enough was done to acknowledge this, to stop it happening, to protect children, to support victims and to apprehend perpetrators. “
Rotherham’s council was told by its own youth service repeatedly that these heinous crimes were occurring, yet chose not to react, and moved on to close the youth service down.
“The Council’s culture is unhealthy: bullying, sexism, suppression and misplaced ‘political correctness’ have cemented its failures. The Council is currently incapable of tackling its weaknesses, without a sustained intervention,” the report indicates.
This report included over 200 interviews with the victims themselves, public welfare officers, children's service staff and police. When the insurmountable evidence was presented to the Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council, it was met with resolute denial of what has happened and dismissal of the findings.
"Council bosses were accused of turning a blind eye to 16-years of abuse for fear of being labeled racist, while senior police officers dismissed many of the victims as “undesirables” who were not worthy of protection, the report claimed.
The thought of unsettling the “social cohesion” and fear of racism is apparently why members of the council are afraid to tackle this issue. The report states:
“The issue of race is contentious, with staff and Members lacking the confidence to tackle difficult issues for fear of being seen as racist or upsetting community cohesion. By failing to take action against the Pakistani heritage male perpetrators of CSE (Child sexual exploitation) in the borough, the Council has inadvertently fuelled the far right and allowed racial tensions to grow.”
But, it’s not just “the far right” expressing anger about the cover-up of child rape.
Whistle-blowers and inspectors were found to be silenced and members of the council went out of their way to keep the allegations of sexual abuse under locks, the study found.
“I stepped forward on behalf of young people … It cost me my job and my career. I feel it was worth it. I am proud to have done so despite the cost to my health and financial situation… the machine at RMBC doesn’t care, won’t listen and simply exists to cover up and destroy,” a whistle-blower told interviewers.
With the rampant sexual assault and drug culture in Rotherham, only five arrests were made by the police over 1997-2009 period of men sexually exploiting girls. The report reveals that in 2007, a man was also successfully prosecuted and convicted of offenses against 10 boys, with 70 alleged victims identified.
Megan Cairns, writing for Rare, put the issue of political correctness succinctly, identifying the idiocy and morally ineptitude:
"Oversensitivity has made it difficult to have a nuanced, honest discussion of race. We’re not supposed to recognize or draw attention to patterns. We’re expected instead to take a relativist point of view and accept unacceptable behavior. So we hesitate instead of stating the obvious. The desire to not offend is admirable, but tap-dancing around truths does not make us tolerant. It makes us willfully ignorant."
Ian Tuttle from the National Review notices the striking silence from feminists and left wing sources on this issue:
"It is hard not to interpret the feminist blogosphere’s silence on Rotherham as an indication of the movement’s ultimate lack of seriousness. Perhaps they are not interested in confronting the ethnic and religious homogeneity of many of the perpetrators: Emma and the majority of the 1,400 victims were abused by “Asian” men — i.e., Muslim men typically from Rotherham’s Pakistani community. Local government leaders, social services, and law enforcement — for fear of being labeled racist — ignored numerous reports they received."
As of today, the vast majority of perpetrators have not been brought to justice.
