Grooming 'Epidemic': Nearly 19,000 Children Sexually Exploited Between 2018-2019 In UK
10-y/o raped 100 times – left with tears of blood

Written By Kunal Gaurav | Mumbai |
Nearly 19,000 children have been reportedly sexually “groomed” in the United Kingdom for exploitation, revealed the official figures raising alarm for an “epidemic”. There has been a worrying rise in the number of suspected victims of child sexual exploitation with more than 18,700 children facing it between 2018-19, which stood at 3,300 five years ago.
As per the data of the Department for Education, Lancashire has the highest number of victims, followed by Birmingham, Surrey, Bradford, and Gloucestershire. Labour MP from Rotherham Sarah Champion said that all the early intervention and support is being stripped away and then people are surprised that such crimes take place.
Speaking to a British daily, Champion said the government not only failed to tackle this issue, but the trend also showed a rise in the numbers. She added that even after the government’s regular assurance of learning ‘lessons’, 19,000 children are still at the risk of getting exploited.

MP @SarahChampionMP said it “remains one of the largest forms of child abuse in the country”
“The government has singularly failed to tackle this issue head on. Its approach has been piecemeal and underfunded.”
Last year, the then Home Secretary Sajid Javid had ordered an investigation to know the reason behind the disproportionate numbers of child grooming gangs from Pakistan. He said the investigation would explore the “particular characteristics” of offenders which will help prevent such cases.
High-profile cases of child grooming
In Rotherham, the revelations over abuse of around 1500 victims in 2012 caused a stir across the country which forced the National Crime Agency (NCA) to investigate the case and find suspects of the crime. In an unprecedented operation, the NCA started investigating under codename Stovewood and identified more than 420 suspects. According to media reports, the investigation could cost £90 million if the government continues its current funding until 2024.
in Pakistani Madrassa
Madrassas and religious schools have existed for hundreds of years, even before formal education was introduced. Today, they mostly teach Islamic subjects and how to memorize the Quran. This is the biggest reason that people enroll their children into madrassas, so they have more of an understanding of Islam and can be closer to the creator.
To Muslim parents, the safest place their children can be is within the four walls of the mosque. They’re supposed to be free of all forms of evil and a ‘pure’ place – where they are safe and secure.
However, this ‘immunity’ from questioning has provided a secure gateway for the exploitation and abuse of children at the hands of the Molvis there. As the stigma is coming off slowly, it has revealed one horrifying reality: Rapes at Madrassas.
Rape is on the opposite spectrum of worship. We’d never expect something like this to happen at places of worship, we can turn a blind eye and pretend it doesn’t happen, but it does – All.The.Time.
This week, a Madrassa teacher in Mansehra named Shamsuddin, with the help of 3 other accomplices, raped a 10-year-old child – over a 100 times.
The child had gone through it so many times that he was rushed to the hospital when his eyes started to bleed.
A ten-year-old cried Khoon ke ansoo (make someone cry bloody tears) because he was repeatedly subjected to rape.
In addition, he also faced inhumane amounts of torture too – piling on to his trauma. The child’s health was constantly deteriorating and he was moved to Ayub Medical Complex. Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s Chief Minister has taken notice of the incident and has instructed authorities to arrest the culprits as soon as possible.
Usually, in Pakistan whenever you talk about rape, it’s immediately followed by lots of questions like “what was she wearing?” “What was she doing out late at night?” “Where were her parents?” “She must’ve done something to invite the rape”.
In other words, it's the girl's fault.
Why do we only assume women get raped? Child rapes are being reported every single day and a lot of these children are boys. Little boys, who shouldn’t have to deal with anything like this.
Cyprus court finds British woman guilty of
making false gang-rape claim

(UPI) -- A court in Cyprus ruled Monday that a British woman is guilty of "causing public mischief" by falsely accusing 12 Israeli men of gang-raping her while on vacation on the Mediterranean island.
The 19-year-old woman, whose name has been withheld due to legal reasons, was found guilty by the Famagusta District Court in a hearing that lasted fewer than 90 minutes. The court rejected her claims that she retracted her rape charges only under duress from police.
The charges stemmed from a July incident at resort in Ayia Napa in which the woman told police she was gang-raped in her hotel room by 12 Israelis aged between 15 and 22. The suspects were immediately arrested, but later released and returned to Israel after the woman retracted her claims.
She was then charged with making false accusations -- a decision which attracted the attention and support of women's rights groups. The non-governmental organization Network Against Violence to Women staged protests outside the courtroom in Paralimni, asserting the woman is a victim of patriarchal society and abuse by the Cypriot police.
The woman's lawyers asserted her retraction was made under psychological duress from the police, cited her young age as a mitigating factor and claimed she is clinically depressed and receiving medication.
The court, however, rejected those arguments, citing what it called the woman's contradictory statements and attempts to mislead the court. She could now be jailed for a year or fined more than $1,110. Sentencing was set for Jan. 7.
Michael Polak, a lawyer from the Justice Abroad group, told reporters the verdict will be appealed to the supreme court of Cyprus based on the trial court's refusal consider evidence which supported the fact that the teen had in fact been raped.

(UPI) -- A 23-year-old woman who was set on fire while walking to testify in a rape trial has died of her injuries, multiple sources reported Saturday.
Police in India, where the woman lived, said Thursday that five men, including two she had accused of raping her, attacked the woman on her way to court, poured kerosene on her and set her on fire.
NDTV reports police used water cannons against demonstrators who held a candlelight march in New Delhi Saturday to demand justice for the woman.
The five men involved in the incident, including the accused rapists, have been arrested.
The woman's father told India Today that the men she accused of raping her had threatened her and her family constantly, but police took no action.
In March she filed a first information report accusing two men from her father's village in Unnao and filming it. According to police, one of the men had been in a relationship with her but had "physically exploited" her, refused to get married and raped her, along with with another man.
Following the attack the woman was transported to a hospital where doctors say she died of extensive burn injuries late Friday night.
The woman's family called for the execution of the men who attacked her.
"She told me, 'Brother, please save me.' I am very sad that I could not save her," her brother told reporters on Saturday, adding that those involved in the incident do not have the right to live.
The case is one of several recent stories of violence against women that have sparked protests and calls for justice across the country.
On Friday police shot and killed men accused of raping and murdering a young veterinarian in Hyderabad, sparking a mix of celebration and criticism. On Thursday a young woman's charred body was found in a mango orchard in Malda, and police said she was likely raped and intentionally burned.

Top Stories of 2019: Sexual exploitation of children
flood Nanaimo, B.C. courts

Numerous disturbing cases involving the sexual exploitation of children were resolved at the
Nanaimo court house in 2019. (Ian Holmes/NanaimoNewsNOW)

NANAIMO — The courts in Nanaimo in 2019 saw a surge in cases of children being sexually exploited. These disturbing cases by far draw the most furious reactions of any stories our newsroom covers.
Specially trained Nanaimo RCMP officers have been extremely busy over the past few (???) investigating numerous horrific cases, which causes often irreparable damage to many people involved.
Several high-profile cases led to convictions via guilty pleas this year, which NanaimoNewsNOW reported extensively throughout the year.
In early March, a 42-year-old man whose identity is protected received a six-year prison sentence for child porn charges and sexual assault related to the abuse of a young child.
Four days later, Devon Schulz, 34, was given an 18-month jail sentence for taking advantage of a teenage boy with developmental disabilities. Schulz, a former group home manager, coaxed the confused teen into pleasuring him sexually.
This is infuriating! Three aggravating factors: The boy was a child; he had a disability; Schulz was in a position of authority over him. And still, the creep gets only an 18 month sentence and was probably home for Christmas.
Immediately following, a retired longtime Nanaimo RCMP officer who can’t be named was convicted to secretly taking pictures of his daughter-in-law while she showered. The disturbing voyeuristic picture-taking by the 72-year-old man took place over more than two years.
In late May, Shane Rodocker was sentenced to 3-years in prison for sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl for more than a year. Rodocker pled guilty to the charges, foregoing the need for a trial.
Just over one month later, Stephen Castelden, 50, received a 10-year prison sentence for the sexual abuse of his daugther-in-law while she was between the ages of four and nine.
Finally, late November saw Aaron Micheil Macrae, 33, begin a sentencing hearing for possessing and distributing a staggering amount of graphic child porn. Macrae also shot secret “spy” videos in public places in Nanaimo of underage girls. His sentencing hearing resumes on Feb. 26, 2020 when Macrae’s lawyer makes his submissions.
Several other cases of children being sexually exploited by Nanaimo offenders are slated to be resolved in the courts over the next several months.
The disgusting child-like sex dolls seized at Australian airports after being smuggled in from China and Japan
By ADAM MCCLEERY FOR DAILY MAIL AUSTRALIA
Australian Border Force officials have seized 167 child-like sex dolls being smuggled into Australia since 2013.
Authorities have released an image of a disgusting child-like sex doll - one of scores to have been confiscated at Australian airports in the past 18 months.
Australian Border Force (ABF) officials on Tuesday released a photo of one of the 61 grotesque dolls it has seized in the past six months.
Notice the remarkable sadness painted into the dolls eyes. This is part of the attraction, I presume, exercising power to the point of great pain. What sick people some of us are.
The federal Government this year banned people from importing the dolls, with a maximum penalty of 15 years behind bars.
Federal assistant minister for Customs and Community Safety Jason Wood told The West Australian people looking to smuggle the dolls should think twice.
'If anyone for any reason in their weird world thinks it's worth the risk to import a child-like sex doll, you'll be getting a knock on the door ... you'll be getting arrested, you'll be getting prosecuted ... and you'll also be going on the child sex offender register,' he said.
'When they're (authorities) going further in their investigation, they're uncovering other forms the offender is involved in of child abuse material. There is an absolute, very strong link.'
The most recent doll to be seized by ABF officers was at the Perth International Airport on December 2.
After the Federal Government made importation of the dolls from Asia illegal a crackdown was undertaken and in Perth alone five dolls were seized in the last 18 months (man pictured after ABF allegedly seized a doll)
Border Force officers seized a man's phone shortly after he left for Thailand in November of 2019 and allegedly uncovered child abuse material.
Police allege a forensic examination of the phone uncovered hundreds of child abuse photos.
'ABF officers at the Sydney Gateway Facility intercepted a parcel from Hong Kong on 17 September which was addressed to the man's residential address,' an ABF statement read.
'It'll be alleged the parcel contained the bottom half of a silicone female child-like sex doll.'
The man was charged with attempting to export a prohibited import and importing tier two goods, or child abuse material.
In April a Japanese man was stopped at the Perth International Airport where officials allegedly uncovered 200 video and picture files including child abuse material.
In September an Australian man was allegedly found to be in possession of dozens of images depicting the sexual abuse of children.
It is alleged officers found 41 child exploitation images and four videos classified as ‘Objectionable Material’ under Australian law.
In July of 2018 a Chinese national was charged over the alleged importation of two child-like sex dolls into Melbourne.
ABF officers uncovered an air cargo shipment from China on June 18 2018, containing a silicon sex doll with child-like features.
Officers then seized a second doll at a Toorak property.
ABF Investigations Commander Graeme Grosse said detections of this nature emphasise the role the ABF plays in protecting the community.
'Tackling child exploitation is an operational priority for the ABF, and we are committed to stopping the movement of these products across the border,' Commander Grosse said.
'The importation of child-like sex dolls and other child exploitation material is of significant concern to the ABF, and we are committed to pursuing those attempting to import such items.'
