Everyone ‘complicit’ in grooming gangs should be prosecuted | Politics | News

Every council official “complicit” in the grooming gangs scandal must be prosecuted, Robert Jenrick has declared.

The Shadow Justice Secretary said “not one” public servant who turned a blind eye has been hauled before the courts.

And Mr Jenrick warned the “few” rape gang members who are prosecuted “often” get farcical sentences.

He insisted grooming gang offenders must be jailed for life, as he published a new video which included a shocking testimony from a victim who said she had been raped by 150 men.

Mr Jenrick blasted: “So many turned a blind eye, scared of being called racist.

“A 12-year-old told the police that she had been raped by several men. The police just gave them a caution.

“Not one of the thousands of culpable local authority workers have been prosecuted.

“All the perpetrators must receive full life sentences. All the foreign offenders convicted of these evil crimes must be deported.

“And all the local authority workers complicit must be prosecuted.”

“That is what justice demands and it’s the least the victims deserve.”

Dame Louise Casey, in her review, said a “resistance and reluctance” to “acknowledge past mistakes, apologise and take action” led to immense suffering.

And asylum seekers and foreign nationals have also been linked to a “significant proportion” of grooming gang cases, the review found.

An entire chapter of the Casey Review was labelled “Denial” and told how public bodies used “flawed data” to dismiss claims about “Asian grooming gangs as sensationalised, biased or untrue”.

Officials feared being called racist if they spoke out against Asian or Pakistani grooming gangs.

It added: “Blindness, ignorance, prejudice, defensiveness and even good but misdirected intentions all play a part in a collective failure to properly deter and prosecute offenders or to protect children from harm”.

Dame Louise, in an evidence session to the Home Affairs Select Committee, added that councils and health trusts hid behind privacy laws to avoid sharing crucial intelligence that could have protected girls from grooming gangs.

Baroness Casey told MPs organisations “often use” privacy “safeguards” to “protect our own agency interest”.

She declared the “sharing of data is probably easier now” than at any point over the past decades.

So little data was shared between organisations, staff would have to show crucial pieces of information on their laptop screens in physical meetings, rather than sending electronic copies.

Dame Louise warned that detectives were missing out on “critical” pieces of intelligence which councils, schools or health chiefs may have already had.

Mr Jenrick added in his new video, said: “Let me ask you a question.

“How long should someone who has raped a child go to prison for?

“Sohail Zaffer raped a child. He was sentenced to 42 months.

“Manzoor Akhtar raped a child. He got four and a half years.

“Ramin Bari, convicted of four rapes, he got just nine years.

“These men, sentenced but not punished. Already back out walking the same streets as their victims. And these were some of the few who were convicted. The Telford Inquiry found that over a thousand girls were raped and abused.

“And yet just 10 men have been convicted for their crimes.

“The Rotherham Inquiry found that 1,400 girls were raped and abused and yet just 60 or so men have gone to prison for these crimes.

“This scandal shames Britain.

“Thousands of girls, some as young as 10, drugged, raped, beaten with bats, branded with initials, doused with petrol, passed around by hundreds of men.”
