But we've seen this before, haven't we?
Young girls were being groomed and sexually assaulted by groups of men for years in Rotherham, to the point a few ended in pregnancy.
When some complaints were raised, the powers that be were so scared of reprisal and accusations, these poor girls were taken as slappers, from an estate, oh well.
They were in some cases written off as call girls. They were very young teens so it actually blows my mind that agencies thought that was the best way to mark it as. Even if they were child prostitutes, there was a duty of care to try and remove them from that situation, which did not happen.
Even now, those men have and will be released back into society.
It's just indicative of a society which still treats females as second class citizens.
When I was at school, between 93-98, there were 5 male teachers who had inappropriate relationships with female students, one resulting in a pregnancy in year 9. Only two of them were removed -not sacked, they quietly left presumable to go to another school - when I was still a pupil. It wasn't rumour, it was fact, with at least two female staff members leaving because they had become aware of certain teachers behaviour, which was not dealt with.
Again, the authorities did very little, girls who came forward were offered places at a different school, but rumours followed them and they were seen as slags at their new school. Meanwhile, until around 2000 when it became an academy, which did not want the scandal of male teachers misbehave with female students, these men carried on their careers.
It's nothing new.
