Rotherham child abuse victim on reporting rape claims
A child victim of sexual abuse in Rotherham has told the BBC she was raped weekly, and that her family moved her out of the area after police failed to act on her claims.
Emma, now 24, told Radio 4's Today she was abused between the ages of 12 and 15, and that her parents went to South Yorkshire Police for help.
Let's see: if she was raped weekly for 3 years, that's 156 times she was raped. In a previous post I suggested that an average number of abuses might be 10, and if so that would mean 14,000 sexual abuses of children in 16 years, or nearly 3 per day.
If Emma's number of 156 is even close to the average (let's use a more conservative 100) then that means 140,000 CSAs in 16 years. That works out to 24 per day or one per hour.
Are you beginning to believe my numbers in my signature post? One CSA per hour in one little town in England. How many are occurring globally right now? Thousands. Please pray for it to stop. Please pray my 3:15 PM prayer above or something like it.
She told John Humphrys she was given drink and drugs as part of the grooming, and threats were made against her family.
South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner faces calls to resign, and council leader Roger Stone is to step down after a report found at least 1,400 children were sexually exploited by criminal gangs between 1997 and 2013 in the town.
