Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announces new policies demanded by GB News Investigates in its debut documentary
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has announced a new set of plans to stamp out sex-grooming gangs who have targeted young women and girls, in a major victory for a GB News Investigates campaign.
In a landmark new policy for tackling the national scandal, Downing Street announced the formation of a new Grooming Gangs Taskforce, which will involve specialist officers being “parachuted in to assist police forces with live child sexual exploitation and grooming investigations to bring more of these despicable criminals to justice.”
The new force will be led by the police and supported by the National Crime Agency (NCA).
The NCA has seen significant success in dealing with historic group-based child sexual exploitation cases in Rotherham, where it was brought in to deal with the town’s scandal after local police and council failures were exposed in a series of government reports.
GB News understands that the NCA will act as oversight for local police forces, with specialist officers being sent into specific areas if issues are raised about a hesitancy to tackle grooming gangs.
The 2014 Jay report found that some 1,400 girls had been groomed, abused, raped and tortured in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013 with the police and council failing to act due to fears that tackling the problem would look racist. Since launching its own investigation in the town in 2014, the NCA has revised the number of victims to 1,510, identified hundreds of suspects and secured several high-profile prosecutions and convictions.
The government’s announcement comes less than two months after GB News broadcast “Grooming Gangs: Britain’s Shame,” the channel’s first documentary under the GB News Investigates brand.
The documentary called for a new NCA taskforce to assist local police investigations into group-localised child sexual abuse and exploitation.
The documentary called for the taskforce to “hold the police to account” after decades of scandals, “whether it’s for failing to collect data on ethnicity, or for not prosecuting criminals.”
Downing Street said that the NCA-supported taskforce will include data analysts to “identify the types of criminals who carry out these offences, helping police forces across the country catch offenders who might otherwise be missed.”
In a statement, the government added that the taskforce “will also include police recorded ethnicity data to make sure suspects cannot evade justice because of cultural sensitivities,” another demand made in the GB News Investigates documentary.
It added: “This will include better data on the make-up of grooming gangs, including ethnicity, to make sure suspects cannot hide behind cultural sensitivities as a way to evade justice.”
But, what about their ideology, Islam, which gives them both motivation and permission to rape little British girls, as is written in the Quran by Mohammed. Ignoring this issue is like putting a little bandaid on an arterial wound. You must deal with the cause, and that's the problem here.
