Middlesbrough grooming case: three guilty of child sex offences

A 17-year-old boy has been found guilty of grooming and sexually exploiting teenage girls on Teesside.

Ateeq Latif, from Middlesbrough, was found guilty a day after the jury at Teesside Crown Court found taxi driver Shakil Munir, 32, guilty of charges involving girls aged 13 and 14.

A third man, Sakib Ahmed, 19, pleaded guilty to exploiting five victims. The men, all from Middlesbrough, were "loosely connected", the court heard.

Two 18-year-old men were cleared.

Judge John Walford lifted orders banning Ahmed's guilty pleas and Latif's identity being reported.

'Arduous inquiry'

"These men preyed on young, vulnerable girls by befriending them and securing their trust”

Det Insp Dino CarlucciCleveland Police

The court heard allegations relating to seven victims, some of whom were known to each other.

The "vulnerable" girls were groomed with offers of free lifts, takeaway food and in some case drugs, prosecutors said.

Latif, of Abingdon Road, and Ahmed, of Cambridge Road, will be sentenced alongside Munir, of Tollesby Road, at a later date.

Latif was found guilty of two counts of arranging or facilitating commission of a child sex offence. His victims were both aged 14. He was cleared of another count of the same charge.

Ahmed admitted five counts of sexual activity with a child before the six-week trial of the other defendants.

Munir was found guilty of four counts of sexual activity with a child and one of child abduction.

Speaking after the case, Det Insp Dino Carlucci, of Cleveland Police, said: "These men preyed on young, vulnerable girls by befriending them and securing their trust and then exploited it.

"This has been an arduous and protracted inquiry for all involved and particularly for the young victims, who I commend for having the strength to see this through until the end.

"It hasn't been easy for them, or their loved ones, but hopefully now they can put this behind them and look forward to bright futures."

Grooming and Cleveland Police 

This article speaks of ‘Asian’ men and that ‘research showed white men were responsible for most of the region's grooming cases.’

What are the factors which bring men to ‘want to groom and harm children’?

Still no light from these ‘experts.’

--

SOCIETY should not be afraid to discuss the “worrying trend” of grooming cases involving Asian men, a senior police officer has said.

Speaking after the conviction of three men for sexually exploiting under-age teenage girls in Middlesbrough, Detective Chief Superintendent Darren Best, head of crime at Cleveland Police, said research showed white men were responsible for most of the region's grooming cases.

However, he added: “That's what the analysis shows us but with the high-profile cases that there have been nationally, there does appear to be a worrying trend in relation to the number of cases involving Asian males.”

Det Chief Supt Best said the trend needed to be addressed, adding: “We shouldn't be afraid to say that and equally I'm hoping that all communities will pull together to recognise this is a problem for society - not for a particular group.

“All of our jobs as adults is to protect children.”

Wendy Shepherd, North-East children’s service manager at Barnardo’s, also stressed that although the guilty men were Asian in this case, on-street grooming and sexual exploitation was not a problem exclusive to one particular ethnic group.

“It has nothing to do with ethnicity and everything to do with the fact that we have men that want to groom and harm children.

“In this case it happened to be Asian men, but we need to raise awareness in all sections of our community that this is not acceptable.”

Mrs Shepherd said staff at the charity’s Sexual Exploitation of Children on the Streets project in Middlesbrough were already working with the victims and would give them all the help they needed to recover from their experiences.

“When you have young people who have been sexually exploited on top of the grooming they are likely to be emotionally harmed.”

Mrs Shepherd paid tribute to the girls for speaking out about the abuse.

“I’m pleased that these young people have been brave and courageous to do this.

“These convictions send out a very strong message that you’re not going to groom and sexually exploit young people in this area - we won’t tolerate this.”

Police have a charged a 10th man (10th!) in connection with a grooming gang in Bristol.

http://m.cheddarvalleygazette.co.uk/articles/news/article/20303562

When EDL went to Aylesbury, I remember people saying: why Aylesbury?  There's been grooming gangs, terrorists, Samantha Lewthwaite from Aylesbury.

When EDL went to Bristol, people said: why Bristol?

"research showed white men were responsible for most of the region's grooming cases."

There is no such research.  Even Parliament accepted that the public perception that the grooming gangs were overwhelmingly muslim ("asian") was true.

Fine Wendy, then please give us that 'research' with clear statistics, which will show us that it has "nothing to do with ethnicity", and prove that it just "happened to be Asian men", and was not part of a clear pattern.

Or are you a  pedophile protector when you should be a pedophile persecutor?

Sex grooming gang 'still walking streets of Rochdale'

12 Dec 2013 09:20

The father of one of the Rochdale sex grooming victims has claimed members of the gang who were not prosecuted are still walking the streets

The father of one of the victims of the Rochdale grooming gang believes that some abusers who were not prosecuted at the time are still walking the town's streets.

In an interview with BBC Radio Four's World at One the man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, also slammed social services for telling him that his daughter was a child prostitute.

He said his daughter was just 14 when she was plied with gifts and alcohol and systematically raped by the gang.

The victim's father spoke about a sudden change in his daughter.

He said: "We were quite a happy normal family. (Then) Her behaviour became much worse."

After around six months his daughter was arrested and it was then she first told police she was being raped.

He added: I was at the police station that night and was completely flabbergasted. It was like being hit with a sledge hammer.

"My wife was totally distraught."

Nine men were jailed for a total of 77 years last May for a torrid catalogue of abuse against vulnerable young Rochdale girls at two Heywood takeaways.

A series of damning inquiries called in the wake of last year's court case revealed that authorities had been told as early as 2004 that youngsters were being groomed and sexually exploited by gangs of older men, but they dismissed victims who they believed were old enough to make their own choices, even though they were under the legal age of consent.

Since then Rochdale council has overhauled its children's social services team while police have said tackling child sexual exploitation is their number one priority.

He added: "This could happen to anyone.

"I know for a fact there are 30 or 40 men involved in the case who did not come to trial."

Muslim on bail but charged with having sex with a schoolgirl, abducts child from childcare on xmas day.

http://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/news/10902187.Bradford_man_ch...

Bradford seems to be the epicentre of these muslim grooming cases.  But in the last 5 years there's barely been one gang prosecuted.  It's very likely that this man is connected to others who are also chasing after kuffar schoolgirls.

'Police ignored victims of Rochdale child sex grooming gang because they were from COUNCIL ESTATES': Shocking report reveals failings allowed abuse to continue

Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk claims officers descriminated against girls

It follows damning council report into last year's child sex scandal

Council found 'significant part' of exploitation should've been prevented

Abuse centred around nine men connected to taxis and takeaway outlets

They plied teenage girls with drink and passed them around for sex

However, police used officers not trained for sex crimes to investigate

Also did not question why girls had 'friendships' with older Asian men

Rotherham Council to be sued over child sexual exploitation

Rotherham Council is being sued over its failure to tackle child sexual exploitation.

A solicitor representing women who were allegedly groomed for sex when underage by gangs of men in Rotherham has begun serving claims on the council for failing to tackle the problem, despite knowing about it for years.

David Greenwood has started action on behalf of a handful of women, but is currently gathering evidence in a total of 11 cases, all of which are expected to result in legal action against the council.

Action is also being contemplated against South Yorkshire Police.

Mr Greenwood said: “I am helping 11 victims of child sexual exploitation to pursue claims for compensation from Rotherham Council.

“I am also looking into whether South Yorkshire Police failed these girls.

“From the evidence I have been gathering, it appears that the council and the police in Rotherham knew that a significant number of girls under the age of 16 were either the victims of or were at risk of child sexual exploitation.

“The names of suspects were known, yet neither the council nor the police appear to have taken positive action to prevent further exploitation.

“The women concerned have been exposed to abuse and sexual exploitation.

“They have suffered significant psychological harm and my team of lawyers are committed to helping them.”

The council declined to comment on the legal action.

A police spokeswoman said the force had not received ‘any legal overtures by, or on behalf of, any victims in relation to historic child sexual exploitation in Rotherham’.

Leaked council and police papers revealed agencies in Rotherham had extensive knowledge of the grooming for a decade, but failed to prosecute most cases.

A number of investigations are under way.

This story shows us the attitude of muslim men towards women (even christian or hindu women):

Hull mum raped in front of son and told by attacking boyfriend: 'I'm Muslim and you must obey me'

 http://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/Hull-mum-raped-son-told-attacking-bo...

Not "I'm a man", not "I'm older than you", not "I'm stronger than you".  It all comes down to muslim supremacism.

Can you imagine a christian man raping a woman in front of a child, and shouting "I'm Christian, you must obey me"?

This case has all the hallmarks of a muslim grooming gang.  Obviously one of the 2 main perpetrators out of 5 is a muslim.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-25679982

The gang congregated at a fried chicken takeaway in Peterborough and carried out their attacks at locations including a children's playground, using what police described as "sophisticated" tactics to groom their vic...

Since the names of the other 3 are not given, it is hard to say definitively if it is a gang that is mostly made up of muslims, or just a gang that was led by a muslim.  But one thing's quite clear - the names of the perpetrators that are known, are names that did not exist in Peterborough 30 years ago. Whilst the younger Czech members of this gang may not have been muslim, it's clear that the leader was a 33 yo muslim.  Given that most of the other grooming gang members in the UK are muslim, and given the age difference between the leader of this gang and his accomplices, it seems almost certain that the "sophisticated grooming techniques" came from this muslim man. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-cambridgeshire-25659042

Be interesting to see what happens in this case.  Notice the claim that even this ex-police inspector raped women and treated them "as slaves".  Notice that other muslims are facing prosecution for helping him escape justice.  The same characteristics are found with the grooming gangs.

A FORMER Blackburn police inspector has gone on trial charged with raping two women.

Mustaq Patala, 37, is accused of attacking one of the alleged victims in his car and in a hotel room in 1998 and 1999.

A jury was told that he then treated another woman 'as his slave', forcing her to have sex with him.

Preston Crown Court heard how the defendant, had been a serving Lancashire Police officer and had risen through the ranks before the accusations were made.

Prosecuting, Stuart Denny said: "He has now found himself facing criminal allegations."

Patala faces 14 counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and another of perverting the course of justice.

He denies all of the allegations.

Summarising the case to the jury, Mr Denny said: "The defendant behaved in a controlling, violent, demanding and bullying way towards the second complainant.

"Effectively he regarded her as his slave.

"Despite her protests, he forced her to have sexual intercourse with him.

"It is the prosecution case that throughout this period, it was perfectly obvious that she was not consenting and that the defendant will have known that she was not consenting."

Arif Patala, 35, and Nighat Anwar, 34, both of Blackburn, also stand accused of perverting the course of justice. They also deny the allegations.
