accused a fake grooming scandal

That number just doesn’t seem credible sorry. To my knowledge it’s about 300 people at most affected by these gangs from over a decade ago.

I suggest you might want to update your knowledge then:

"In May 2024, 550 suspects had been arrested and 4,000 victims identified."

And the figures in the article are likely still the tip of a very rotten iceberg.

It is not unknown for TV channels to reschedule programmes due to current events.

I don't think that is an official figure. It is a figure mentioned in a House of Lords debate in 2019 extrapolated by Lord Pearson of Rannoch.If you scroll down to 4:58pm you will see what he based the figure on.

Bollocks. Standing up in the face of blatant misogyny it’s important for all women.

Stories like this are blatant shoe ins to counteract the rape gangs stories. It’s sickening.

Misogyny is so acceptable. Was going to say nowadays, but it hasn’t changed, society finds more inventive ways to shut women up and stop highlighting shitty male behaviour - what better way than over highlighting the behaviour of one woman to conveniently take the spotlight away from these men?

Rules of misogyny are basically a bingo card right now.

A quarter of a million girls over 50 years and likely ongoing, is what's being reported in the American media. I've read some of the court transcripts, and being a retired military officer I thought I had a strong stomach for violence, but these girls were tortured along with being raped, often anally, including with poles and other implements to enlarge their anuses.

Seeing things on social media is not comparable to TV programs.

You still have answered how you think she got away with it. She was sentenced to 8 and a half years in prison. She's not eligible for parole for another 2 years.

Plenty of English grooming gangs too, but they don't fit the racist narrative do they?

This

Thousands of rapists a year get off with zero conviction. Thousands of women don’t report their rapist because they know the system is stacked against them.

Your focus is on a woman who lied?

She only makes genuine victims look bad if you’re the type of person whose default line of thinking is that women are liars.

Dog bites man syndrome.

The reason why a programme has been made is because false accusations such as this are so vanishingly rare.

Unfortunately, men abusing, torturing, raping and killing women and girls is one of the most commonplace things to happen in the world so it doesn’t make for a punchy headline.

How did she get away with it?

As an aside, the number of separate programs that have been made about this one case, compared with the number of programs about the victims of grooming gangs, is astounding.

I haven't seen this, but when I saw it advertised I was a bit surprised Channel 4 didn't reschedule.

Yes.

Quarter of a million? Are you for real?

She doesn't make genuine victims look bad. Anybody capable of rubbing two brain cells together wouldn't refute the avalanche of testimony and evidence on the back of one sole voice established as acting criminally.

to lie about this stuff ruins lives if someone made this lie up about a male member of ur family would you go ah it fine no harm done

lying about these things is an issue as it makes genuine victims look less credible and stops people coming forward

These are straight from the MRA Misogyny 101 playbook.

Rape is basically decriminalised when you look at how many men are actually convicted.
Every day “genuine victims” avoid reporting their rapists because they are treated as liars. The very tiny number of liars shouldn’t have any impact on how victims are treated, but despite the tiny number of liars victims are routinely treated like shit and not believed.

Men, unsurprisingly, tend to come out fine from accusations of rape - genuine or otherwise - because the world and his dog are happy to go along with him being a stand up guy who’s been wronged by yet another woman/girl/slag (whatever everyone decides to call her).

Pretty much every woman knows a woman who’s been raped and/or sexually assaulted, but hardly anyone knows a rapist? Doesn’t add up does it.

I’m also willing to bet my right arm that the lives of the raped girls (in their thousands) are ruined beyond the lives of falsely accused men. It’s laughable that anyone believes men are deeply impacted by this.

This is yet another blatant attempt to take attention away from rape gangs in 50 cities that were known to authorities but were ignored. Fucking scum.

I can't abide cowards and rape apologists, rapists, torturers, those willing to be complicit in corruption and the media who would like to highlight one woman acting in bad faith rather than the hundreds and thousands of girls who were raped and tortured in raping gangs.

Women who lie about rape cause problems for the accused, is there any reason why ch4 - and you - want to devote discussion to the topic in relation to the raping gangs. Could there be a reason for that?
