Things happened? Things happened? Is that how you want to underline the rape and torture of quarter of a million vulnerable working class children?

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.

But anyway, this thread is about a false allegation and shouldn’t be tied to that scandal in any way, other than to make people think twice before believing the toxic narratives around Pakistani grooming gangs.

I really wonder where peoples' priorities lie. The best evidence suggests that more than 50 English towns suffered from Asian child rape gangs and tens of thousands of children were raped, tortured and abused these children to this day have not been properly recognised or helped or recompensed.

And tens of thousands of Asian gang rapists and child torturers got off with minimal sentences, or even no sentences, and were never deported. And many people in the social services and police and local government who were responsible for safeguarding, and failed abjectly have never been held to account or had even the slightest penalty for their dereliction of duty.

Yet people think the news of the day is to be upset because Elon tweeted or one victim got two or three people wrongly accused? Is that really the big issue we should be talking about? Why are so many recent threads on Asian child gang rape and torture not focusing on the actual problem?

lying about these things is an issue as it makes genuine victims look less credible and stops people coming forward and the fact the town went ah well she lied no harm done sure if just as evil as the girl herself clearly that townall has issues

i not denying things happened and it is awful but 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 I doubt it it also means that credible victims are less likely to be believed after this stupid girl did this for what a few quid n some attention

Studies repeatedly show that false accusations of rape is very low.
Of course she should have apologised and faced consequences, but I can’t get worked up about this case, particularly when it is being used to death to aid the cover up of thousands of girls being tortured and raped by men who just aren’t facing justice, and for whom authorities have allowed it to go on basically unchecked in case it makes them look racist, and who are currently still making excuses for their actions because discussing the cases openly is still viewed by many on the left as racist.

But yes, let’s focus on this instead. Couldn’t make it up.

Quarter of a million girls raped and tortured by raping gangs, and perhaps more than that too, covered up by the cowardess of local government, state government, charity workers, social workers and the police, but ch4 have a documentary about one girl who lied? Figures.

Perfect fucking timing though in case anyone was in any doubt about the priorities of those with a platform to broadcast their own sensibilities.

I think I know what girl you are talking about. She was abused, numerous times. But she accused innocent men.

given her lies I would genuinely doubt those claims not everything written on social media is the gospel truth

It’s really heartbreaking what those men were put through. Crimes like that really need to be prosecuted incredibly robustly because they can really hurt community tensions and make people of the Pakistani community feel really unsafe.

I’m glad this documentary was put out there to exonerate those people.
