Oxford grooming gang: We will regret ignoring Asian thugs who target white girls

What a god-awful mess this country has got itself into over multiculturalism, and once again our fear of racism will lead to the betrayal of hundreds of young girls.

Rochdale, Rotherham, Derby, Oxford. The towns change, but the pattern is always the same. Gangs of men, mainly of Pakistani Muslim heritage, lure white girls as young as 10 with gifts and displays of affection. Next, the girl is raped as a way of “breaking her in”. Once the child’s spirit is subdued, and her mind fogged with drugs, she is sold for sex to multiple men at £200 a time. If the girl tries to break away, a gang member might threaten to behead her or firebomb her home. Mohammed Karrar, who was found guilty in the Oxford sex-grooming case this week, took a scalding hairpin and branded one girl so she would know she was his property. Later, the gang gave the same girl a DIY abortion. She was 12 years old. And this, all this, is happening in Britain now.

In a particularly warped twist, the pimp will teach his victim that her parents are racist towards Asians, which is why they disapprove of their relationship – absolutely nothing, of course, to do with him being a violent, controlling thug. Gang members have grown wise to the wimpy ways of Western society. They exploit the fact that police, newly trained in “cultural sensitivity”, are terrified of being accused of racism. So the pimps operate with impunity until, years later, the slave girls find the courage to testify in court against their masters.

The awful prevalence of grooming gangs

Such crimes would be distressing enough in isolation. What is worse is that the authorities could have done something about them so much earlier.

Many of the details of the sexual grooming case that concluded with the conviction of seven men at the Old Bailey yesterday were too violent and too distressing to be reported upon. But the outline is sufficient. Over the course of eight long years, girls as young as 11 were drugged, raped and sold for sex at a string of properties across Oxford, suffering appallingly sadistic abuse at the hands of a gang of adults by whom they were specifically targeted for exploitation.

Such crimes would be distressing enough in isolation. What is worse is that the authorities could have done something about them so much earlier, but did not. All but one of the girls were living in children’s homes. Yet despite repeated disappearances – and even, in the case of one child, it being the general consensus among staff that she was being groomed – nothing was done. Social workers, too, have any number of questions to answer about so egregious a failure in their duty of care.

The police acquitted themselves no better. The first hint of trouble was as long ago as 2006, when one of the girls reported that she had been held against her will, made to snort cocaine and then left unconscious. Another, a few months later, told officers she had been raped. Yet despite a series of complaints and contacts over the years that followed, the pieces were not put together and the abuse continued.

Calif. fails to screen substance-abuse counselors

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The investigative arm of the state Senate has found nearly two dozen registered sex offenders serving as substance-abuse counselors in California, which lacks procedures to screen them out.

The Senate Office of Oversight and Outcomes said in a report Monday that California and Pennsylvania are the only two large states that conduct no criminal background checks on drug and alcohol counselors.

Other states check applicants’ fingerprints against criminal records or require applicants to report their own backgrounds, with penalties if they lie.

California also has no system to weed out counselors who are convicted of crimes after they have started working.

The report says the state should take charge of credentialing counselors or require that the current certifying organizations do a better job.

Police bust New York sex-trafficking ring after pimps from same Mexican town set-up huge network in Big Apple

Sex trafficking ring raided: Immigration officials raided brothels in Newburgh, Poughkeepsie and Yonkers on April 30 and since October last year have made 33 sex trafficking arrests – all from impoverished town Tenancingo in Mexico

All the pimps busted in a huge sex-trafficking ring in New York are from the same impoverished town in Mexico.

The latest alleged pimps to be indicted are brothers Isaias and Bonifacio Flores-Mendez who are from Tenancingo, the ‘world capital of sex trafficking,’ according by U.S. government officials.

Since October last year, immigration officials have made 33 sex trafficking arrests in New York – all from the town of 10,000 people about 80 miles from Mexico City.

The Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raided brothels in Newburgh, Poughkeepsie and Yonkers, all in the wider-New York area, on April 30, arresting 13 indicating that the Queens-based gangs may have expanded their sex trafficking ring. Dozens of women, mostly from Mexico, had been exploited, many forced to engage in prostitution with 20 to 30 customers a day.

ICE Special agent in charge James Hayes said on the day of the arrests: ‘The arrests today move the United States closer to blockading the repugnant sex trafficking corridor that organisations like the one allegedly operated by Isaias Flores-Mendez and his cohorts use to smuggle innocent victims between Tenancingo, Mexico and New York City.

He told The Daily News: ‘We see here that they have moved (farther) out.

‘It seems like the word is getting out that we’re cracking down in the New York City area.’

Neighbors Describe House Of Horrors, Women Leashed And Naked, While Many Point To Police As Responsible

On another occasion four elderly women spotted three naked women with dog chains and leashes around their necks in the backyard of Castro’s home, Lugo told The New York Daily News.

Neighbors next door to a run-down home where three women were held captive for about a decade said they called police on two separate occasions and both times police showed up but never went inside.

One neighbor said a naked woman was seen crawling on her hands and knees in the backyard of the house a few years ago. Another heard pounding on the home’s doors and noticed plastic bags over the windows.

Police also paid a visit to the house in 2004, but no one answered the door.

Now, after three women who vanished a decade ago were found captive Monday at the run-down house, Cleveland police are facing questions for the second time in four years about their handling of missing-person cases and are conducting an internal review to see if they should have investigated the case more in-depth.

City Safety Director Martin Flask said Tuesday that investigators had no record of anyone calling about criminal activity at the house but were still checking police, fire and emergency databases.

LAPD: Occidental College students reported 3 rapes in 3 years

“Some students were discouraged from filing a formal complaint, while others were not informed of their rights,” said Caroline Heldman, chairwoman of Occidental’s politics department, who joined Allred and the alleged victims at a news conference. “In some cases, the college chose to let perpetrators back on campus after they had been found responsible for non-consensual sexual intercourse.”

Los Angeles police say they have investigated three rape cases involving Occidental College students in the last three years, far fewer than current and former students outline in a civil rights complaint.

In the U.S. Department of Education complaint filed Thursday, attorney Gloria Allred’s law firm, which represents several current and former students, alleges that 37 students were “raped, sexually assaulted, battered, harassed or retaliated against for speaking out against sexual violence” since 2009.

The women say the college discourages reporting of sex crimes and proceeding with criminal and/or administrative action against the perpetrators.

Five current and former female students alleged in a news conference Thursday that they had been raped on campus or in nearby student housing during the years covered in the complaint.

A sixth woman described herself as a victim of sexual assault during the news conference outlining the complaint, which alleges that the college violated Title IX, which bars sex discrimination at schools.

Babies as young as six months victims of rape in war: U.N. envoy

“Under the cold light of strategy and tactics, the rationale and purpose is clear. What more effective way can there be to destroy a community than to target and devastate its children?” she told the Security Council.


Zainab Hawa Bangura

In her first seven months as U.N. envoy on sexual violence in conflict, Zainab Hawa Bangura has visited a Congolese district where rebels raped babies, and Somalia where a woman was paid $150 restitution for the rape of her 4-year-old daughter.

She met a refugee at a camp in Kenya who had been raped at gunpoint when she was eight-months-pregnant while gathering firewood and a Somali father who was fighting for justice for his daughters, aged 4 and 6, who had both been raped.

“The stories are horrific and heartbreaking and when these survivors tell you what they endured, and continue to endure, you know that one person raped in war is one too many,” said Bangura, who briefed the U.N. Security Council on Wednesday.

She told the 15-member council it was still largely “cost-free” to rape a woman, child or man in conflict and that this must be reversed to make it a “massive liability to commit, command or condone sexual violence in conflict.”

Any future peace and ceasefire deals in conflicts like Syria and Mali must include sexual violence prevention, Bangura said. Bangura, a former health minister of Sierra Leone, said she plans to visit Syria, Mali and South Sudan as soon as possible.

Rapes and assaults against women paint an ugly picture of India

There is a rape in New Delhi every 22 minutes, giving the city a miserable reputation as the rape capital of India. But, when news got out about the attack and gang-rape on the bus protests rocked the country. It forced a debate about discrimination, cultural beliefs, and the dangers of being a woman in India.


Protesters from the Indian state of Haryana listen to a speaker, unseen, while participating in a rally criticizing the rise in crimes against women in New Delhi, India, Wednesday, April 10, 2013.

India is a country rich with contrast. Here old meets new. Poverty grinds against prosperity. Cultures mingle and clash.

But exotic ancient India has run headlong into the rapidly growing economic powerhouse, where women have stepped out of traditional roles, resulting in harsh questions about their treatment which is considered to be among the worst in the world. Rape is common. Sexual assault goes unreported. The victim is often blamed, which the perpetrator walks free.

Recently the The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights said rape is a “national problem” in India, reflecting the abysmal treatment of women in the country. And two rape cases focused international attention on the abuse and maltreatment.

The first case, in December 2012, was the gang-rape of a 23-year-old woman in New Delhi, heading home with her boyfriend after watching a movie. The second was the gang-rape of a Swiss tourist, savagely attacked near the iconic Taj Mahal, while on a cycling tour with her husband.

Thousands of young women turned into slaves in Germany

Germany has missed the EU deadline to implement new rules on more action against human trafficking and better protection for the victims, a new report says.

The Deutsche Welle report said Germany has been criticized by the UNICEF and child protection organization ECPAT for delaying the implementation of an EU guideline to combat trafficking.

The EU guideline introduced two years ago, calls for tougher sentences and better protection for trafficking victims, however, Germany has failed the April 5 deadline set by the EU for the implementation of the rules.

According to the report, Germany is still debating how to implement the guideline the German justice ministry says a draft legislation “accounts for an exact implementation of the guideline.”

This is while the domestic policy spokesman of Chancellor Angela Merkel’s conservatives in parliament, Hans-Peter Uhl says the draft will not be enough since it will not include cases of human trafficking with the intention of sexual exploitation.

Uhl said that it’s impossible in Germany to convict someone for human trafficking as the burden of proof lies with the victim and they often are threatened by traffickers.

Meanwhile, NGO’s also criticize the justice ministry draft for not being up to the standards of EU guidelines.

“If for instance an underage girl is brought from Romania to Germany and forced into prostitution, then this qualifies as sexual abuse and exploitation but not as human trafficking. And the latter would be punished more severely under German law,” the report quoted Rudi Tarneden of UNICEF Germany as saying.
