Women abused as children by Rotherham gangs say police also sexually assaulted them

JFC. JFC. I thought it couldn't get any worse. I can't believe the BBC even published this.

One says she was raped from the age of 12 by a serving South Yorkshire Police (SYP) officer in a marked police car. He would threaten to hand her back to the gang if she did not comply, she says.

"In a world where you were being abused so much, being raped once [by a police officer] was a lot easier than multiple rapes [by the gang] and I think he knew that," she tells the BBC.

We have seen written accounts from these women, plus testimony from 25 other victims of grooming gangs, with some of those women saying that corrupt police officers worked alongside the gangs or failed to act on child sexual exploitation.

At least 1,400 children were abused by men in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013 - the landmark report from Prof Alexis Jay found in 2014.

There is a weird culture among Brits of sexual abuse coverups in every day life. This has gone on for as long as we've paid attention to British culture. Jimmy Saville, etc. I am understanding more how the Brit classes influenced the Indian caste system, and sexual and overall abuse is a heavy part of it.

How do the gangs get ahold of these girls? Do the girls live on the street? In an orphanage? In the US, I can't imagine many girls being in the close of contact with these type folks, unless we are talking about girls who live on the street.

Britain needs an Arthur desperately, and the sword should not be spared.
