Glad to see one conviction and the other subject to trial but as a parent it’s horrific to see these exist! I see Tommy ten names and his fans aren't going nuts about these child grooming rings. Wonder why. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The match at Newcastle will be live on Sky, so could be worth watching just for the siren mayhem - particularly if someone conceals a phone in the Sky studio, as happened with MOTD.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon the Hat Posted 6 April 2023 Share Posted 6 April 2023 The issue isn’t that there is any higher prevalence of this awful crime in any particular ethnic group, the issue - and why it’s being used as a political football - is because in some cases there is evidence that police and social services were scared to act because they feared being called racist. Notwithstanding that racists are indeed taking advantage of that fact to do their thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oxford blue Posted 6 April 2023 Share Posted 6 April 2023 There has not been much information in press coverage about details of the abuse. Considering the numbers of similar surnames, I would speculate this is pure sex abuse of young children rather than grooming (as previously implied). I think an important difference, although the abhorrence of the crimes is similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having been groomed and raped, and just raped, I can tell you there’s next to fvck all difference in what happens, how it makes you feel, and the ramifications for the victim. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's gripping stuff. I couldn't be a juror in this case. The emotions, the doubts, the potential hate towards Letsby. The potential for her to be innocent, albeit slim.

I expect he's driven to sort all this out because of his guilt at forming an organisation with a surprising number of convicted sex offenders in its hierarchy. What are the chances?

I think it's just the sheer number of deaths under her supervision. It far outweighs any possibility that it was simply down to sheer chance. I believe there was 14 deaths/near deaths in the space of a year when the expected number would be 2 or 3.

Wasn’t she caught almost red handed at one point too? From what I’ve read, the chances of her being innocent are statistically minuscule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
