BRADFORD, UK (September 21, 2015)—In the last few years, the UK has seen an absolute torrent of stomach churning revelations which has had the whole country reeling in shock, in high-profile cases of sexual exploitation, grooming, organised rape, blackmail and abuse. The most shocking of which is not only the number of cases (the record breaking amount which in itself, is horrific enough), but the heights of society within which these depraved and barbaric acts have occured. Sadly, this included children of both genders.
From nationally loved celebrities to a staggering number of senior politicians, underground networks of groups and individuals have attempted to satisfy their animalistic urges via the exploitation of the young and innocent for decades now. Witnesses have only recently begun finding the courage to come forward to reveal their horrifying ordeals after national disgust at the recent nationwide scandals.
The willful blind-eye shown by authoritative bodies including councils and police (Rotherham scandal), in dealing with the numerous reports of abuse, appear to have been deliberately ignored at an instituional level.
In towns such as Bradford, Rotherham, Oxford, London and Birmingham, an ever-spiking figure of young and vulnerable Sikh, white and Hindu girls are being exploited and blackmailed and communities are no longer content in ignoring the issues.
