Reports coming out on the Telford GROOMING SCANDAL are HORRIFIC

A woman has come forward to report that as a teenager she was raped with a gun to her head. Girls as young as 11 had their phone numbers sold and were coerced into sleeping with dozens of men after being plied with alcohol or threatened with violence.

A specialist hit team will arrive in Telford next week to make an urgent assessment of 46 live child sexual exploitation cases Sky News can reveal.

Several say their abusers are still walking free in their hometown and may never be prosecuted. The victims say they are struggling to get justice because they were often seen as consenting to sex.

The mother of a grooming victim killed in Telford has called for a review in police procedure towards missing children to prevent further cases.

Becky Watson

In her first television interview with Sky News the mother of murdered Becky Watson suggests that any child who goes missing should be treated as a potential rape victim.

Any child that goes missing, I think the police should test their blood for alcohol or drugs and actually treat them like they are a rape victim and take swabs.

When your child first goes missing, your first reaction as a parent is that you should shout and scream at them.

When I think back now, she could’ve been raped that night and she has come home and I started shouting and screaming at her.

It’s very hard for me now to swallow that guilt.”

According to Sky News:

Sky News also spoke to a victim who claims to have been abused by more than 100 men in Telford.

She says none of them have been prosecuted.

Speaking about one encounter with a restaurant owner, Louise (not her real name), said:

“He would take me around the corner of the restaurant and he would have sex with me. Then he would pin me down so all the rest of the restaurant workers could do it to me.”

I didn’t think about going to the police back then because I was too scared because of what they used to say to me.

They said they would blow my house up and would kill my mum and dad. They said they would rape my mum if I told anyone. And after what happened to Lucy Lowe, they said I would be next.”

Azhar Ali Mehmood

Louise’s friend Lucy Lowe was 16 when she was killed in a house fire alongside her mother Eileen and sister Sarah, 17, in 2000.

Azhar Ali Mehmood, a taxi driver from Telford, was jailed for life after he was found guilty of their murder.

Mehmood and Lucy had a daughter when she was 14. Lucy was pregnant with their second child when Mehmood burned down the family home.

Louise and Lucy were also close friends with grooming victim Becky Watson. She died in 2002 from head injuries when she fell from the bonnet of a car at the age of 13.

The car was being driven by Ahmed Nawaz, who admitted causing death by dangerous driving. He was jailed for three years.

Becky Watson’s mother said she only discovered her daughter had been groomed after her death. She discovered clues about her daughter’s secret life in her wallet, which included an appointment card for a family planning clinic.

Local MP Lucy Allan said:

We know there is still child sexual exploitation going on in Telford today, and we don’t want to send the wrong message that we don’t care.

It is really important that we are seen to be taking this seriously and get to the bottom of what has happened here.

We don’t want any people in post – whether that be in the police or the council – that aren’t taking this seriously.”

There is a sense, and it is wrong, that the girls involved are partly to blame for what happened to them – that they engaged in risky behaviour or were mixing with the wrong people.

I think this is wholly wrong. We are talking about girls who are 12 and 13 who have been systematically groomed by gangs of men who were much older than them.”

A spokesperson for the Police said: “Child sexual exploitation has been a priority for us, and the focus of our resources, for many years.

Unity News would on this occasion commend Sky News for their investigation on this and hope the mainstream media would continue to put their considerable resources in reporting this national disgrace!
