Relevancy: Follow-up to my first post on the sex ring operating in Telford. Link for those who haven't read it and would like to: https://voat.co/v/pizzagate/2440603
As per other submission, the Telford sex ring lured young girls away from their home to be drugged, beaten, and raped operated with impunity even though CPS, authorities, and the police were well-aware of its existence. Rather than authorities acting, they ignored and actually covered up the problem. This centers on a memo that was circulated interdepartmentally. In it, the sex the minors were coerced into performing was described as quote CONSENSUAL unquote.
Well, is it any surprise that an internal memo went out to the investigating officers that slut shamed the victims? This even though the legal age of consent in the UK is 16. I'm dumbfounded as to how an eleven-year-old can reasonably, and legally, be said to have consented to sex. It's impossible, but here's more of the article if you really want to get upset:

‘Despicable’: Police Memo Said Telford Girls ‘Consented’ to Sex Abuse with Groomers
Police officers investigating the Telford grooming gang scandal, possibly the largest in UK history, were sent an internal memo telling them “in most cases the sex is consensual”.
The initial police probe, Operation Chalice, identified at least 100 potential victims in Telford targeted between 2007 and 2009. However, fewer than ten men were jailed despite the police admitting as many as 200 groomers may be involved.
West Mercia Police sent the memo the year after Chalice was closed, to officers investigating on-going child sexual exploitation in the force area, The Mirror reports. Officers also considered some of the young victims as prostitutes.
Commenting on the revelations, UKIP London Assembly Member David Kurten, blasted: “Telford Police memo on children consenting to abuse is despicable. The UK age of consent is 16.

“Gangs and their child abusing ‘customers’ that groom, rape and pimp out girls under 16 are rapists. If the police do not know this they are not fit for purpose.”
An 18-month probe by journalists, published last weekend, found that 1,000 girls could have been targeted over 40 years by as many as 70 groomers. They were allegedly drugged, raped, and trafficked, and five deaths have been linked to the abuse.
Wrap your mind around trained professionals describing these minors as prostitutes. How exactly does an underage girl get that into her head? In kindergarten? And the fact that these young girls had NO WAY OUT BECAUSE THE POLICE CONSTRUCTED THEM NOT TO HAVE ONE makes this INTOLERABLE!
Who would they go to other than the police? And when you consider that some were murdered to set examples of what happened to those trying to escape ... what I'm saying is that adults wouldn't be able to stand up to that kind of pressure and we're expecting children to handle it better?
Please UKers, make a huge deal out of this. Demand answers. We really should target the BBC and ask them why they're not covering, and didn't cover, this story.

Even when the perpetrators are convicted they serve barely any time, disgraceful http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/mubarek-ali-early-release-telford-child-sex-gang-lucy-allan-a7868171.html?amp&__twitter_impression=true

It's the same with gun crimes. The perp is typically given a reduced sentence and the crime isn't taken seriously. Instead the left would prefer to cry about gun crime to strip rights from the law abiding gun owners. If we would just enforce the laws and give the deserved STIFF sentences to criminals we would have less repeate offenders especially pedos!

Look at that POS!
It's outrageous ... if this doesn't prove authorities are complicit, I don't know what does.
And that fake outrage ... I'm sick of it! It's like a bad good cop bad cop routine. A judge let's the scumbag go and then someone grandstands and cries outrage! They all knew damn well this punk ass wouldn't serve his time.
