| UK: Dawn swoop sex arrests |
| 2009-03-28 |
| No mention of the perps religion, whose founder was heavily into this sort of thing. SIX men accused of being at the centre of a sex ring said to have lured young girls into a world of exploitation and rape have been rounded up by police in a dawn raid. The Advertiser joined the early morning swoop at one property in Clifton, as detectives and uniformed officers paid simultaneous visits to addresses in other parts of Clifton, Broom and Masbrough on Wednesday morning. The action followed a two-month police investigation into the allegations of four girls, aged between 11 and 14, who claim that they were plucked from the streets of Rotherham and exploited for sex. Wednesday morning's operation resulted in the immediate arrest of five suspects. A sixth man was added to the haul in a later raid on a property in Shirecliffe, Sheffield, and a 20-year-old man, from the Moorgate area of Rotherham, was arrested yesterday (Thursday) afternoon. None of the seven men, aged between 19 and 29, had been charged in connection with the alleged offences when the Advertiser went to press and all were expected to be released on police bail. Two more men are still subject of police enquiries as part of the investigation and are expected to be brought in for questioning. A 25-strong team of officers made their way to suspects' homes in a fleet of unmarked cars after leaving Main Street Police station at around 7am. In an early-morning briefing Det Sgt Dave Walker, who led the operation, said: "We will be looking to gather mobile phones, digital cameras, diaries and camcorders....anything that could potentially provide evidence." He added: "We will be knocking on doors today, not knocking them down. Many of the properties we will be visiting are family homes and many of the people who live there will be unaware of what's going on." Following the arrests, officers combed suspects' homes and cars for evidence that could aid their investigation. A police spokesman said that it was important to maintain a low profile in order to keep the impact and disturbance caused to surrounding communities to a minimum. He added: "Uniformed officers from the Safer Neighbourhood Teams will be issuing leaflets to residents following the raid to reassure them and explain some details of the operation." |

| #6 Sorry to be flippant in my last post, 5089 is right, the young girls are sweet-talked into this shit, from a truly nihilistic society, if they are from the the lowest levels of it, the only way is up. |

| #3 No doubt the 'community' considers the victims as so much uncovered meat. So the police have to be careful and only hand out leaflets..... |

| #2 English folks I know speak about "grooming", IE targeting young girls through alchol & drug or plain abusive behavior, for personal or lucrative sexual exploitation, this seems to be a staple of the pakistanis in the UK, especially for very young girls from the white underclass which cohabit with them (a very similar process to what is often reported fom french 'hoods, though the perps mostly are black africans & arabs, and IIRC, there was an articel a few years ago in Rb about a similar thing occuring in Germany, the perps being IIRc turks & iranians migrants). |

| #1 None of the seven men, aged between 19 and 29, had been charged in connection with the alleged offences when the Advertiser went to press and all were expected to be released on police bail. I s'pose if they abscond back home, British girls will be as much safer as if they were jailed... and at less cost and trouble to the government. "We will be looking to gather mobile phones, digital cameras, diaries and camcorders This always causes problems for the comrades of bad guys. A police spokesman said that it was important to maintain a low profile in order to keep the impact and disturbance caused to surrounding communities to a minimum. One would think the surrounding communities would be grateful to have such bad men removed from their midst, especially if community members had daughters. Clearly the community have other concerns. |
