Not a very pleasant subject but one that needs covering, the Inquiry into the reports of historic (and current) paedophile gangs in Telford by Tom Crowther QC has released its report and it makes for absolutely damning reading with both the Police and Council actively avoiding investigating these claims for fear of "inflame racial tensions" as the offenders were almost universally Asian men of Pakistani descent.
The main points were these-
- Over 1,000 girls abused over the span of 40 years.
- The Victims were blamed for allowing the abuse by the Police and Council.
- The lack of investigation emboldened the paedophiles to continue the abuse.
- The Council scaled back their "Child Sexual Exploitation" teams to virtually zero.
- The Police apologised "Sorry to the survivors and all those affected by child sexual exploitation in Telford. While there were no findings of corruption, our actions fell far short of the help and protection you should have had from us, it was unacceptable, we let you down"
