Revision as of 09:59, 24 September 2016

The Telford sex gang was a group of seven men of Pakistani descent who preyed extensively on pre-teen and under-age teenage girls in Telford, England before their arrest and prosecution. In cases stretching over two years to late 2012, they were convicted of sexual offences including rape, controlling child prostitution, causing child prostitution and trafficking for the purpose of prostitution. A Channel 4 investigation into the gang revealed:

There were accounts concerning men who would ejaculate and then urinate in children's mouths, violating them in every orifice, as well as gang-rape by queues of men while girls were held hostage for hours, sometimes days – all the while being forced to listen to the screams of girls in other rooms with other men.

Local MP raises concern in 2016

In September 2016, the Conservative MP for Telford, Lucy Allan, called for a independent "Rotherham-style" inquiry into child sexual exploitation (CSE) in her constituency. She said she had had a meeting with a victim of the abuse, who told her that many of the worst offenders had not been prosecuted and were still living freely in the area. Ms Allan said that she would be asking the prime minister, Theresa May, to take more action on the problem of CSE, particularly in Telford, which is alleged to have the highest level of CSE in Britain, when calculated by head of population.
