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.

How can a child give real consent if he/she is Groomed? Hmm. Still scratching my head.

Exactly.
You give an adult drugs and they'll have a hard time keeping their wits. And these are kids?

They blame a child for their actions. They are the bottom of the barrel.
migratorypatterns ago
They really are.
These men are scum.

I wonder what word Jesus would use for them. I don't think the Lord is as kind as the RCC wants us to believe, not when it comes to pedophiles, the ones abusing His Little Lambs.

Jesus has a word for them: reprobate

Heh. Heh. Yeah, well that's a lot cleaner than some others would say! But we have to remember who's talking.
Shizy ago
Yep 😁

It all comes down to Judgement Day.
Right now He's finding all His Little Lambs. People are given chance after chance to make good and choose a side. Whatever sin committed will be lifted if the heart asking for forgiveness is pure in intent to change.
The judgement will be what they deserve.

I am hoping they get their Judgement Day moved up.

UpVoat for that thought.
