LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Police collusion with the child rape gangs

TESTIMONY from survivors of the British Pakistani rape gangs (also into drug dealing) in the north of England points to top investigating police officers being paid off by top members of the gangs to either terminate their investigations, prosecute lower-level gang members, and/or ensure light sentences, some through plea bargaining.

A lot of the inaction surrounding these cases originates in attempting to cover up the corruption and protect the officers involved and to prevent a total breakdown in trust between the general public and the Criminal Justice System (CJS).

The CJS is meant to protect people and uphold the law, but clearly isn’t in these cases and many others of similar gravity.

The thousands of child rape victims deserve justice and persons campaigning for their justice don’t deserve being labelled “racist” which is itself just another stalling mechanism designed to deflect attention away from these crimes and to dissuade others from assisting in the campaign for justice for these girls.
