Seven members of an Asian grooming gang are facing “lengthy” prison sentences after they were convicted of the sexual exploitation of two white teenage schoolgirls in Rochdale.
Social services and police apologised for their past failings surrounding the victims who were abused in the town between 2001 and 2006 after a jury returned unanimous verdicts on Friday against the defendants.
Both girls were treated as “sex slaves” from the age of 13, said prosecutors, amid “deeply troubled home lives” as they were given drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, places to stay and people to be with.
Talk’s Mike Graham is joined by Editor-At-Large at The Sun Harry Cole, who says the Prime Minister Keir Starmer should “listen to more voices at the table” of his Cabinet.
