The scandal involving child sexual exploitation in the town of Telford has not gone away. In fact this case is revealing scandal upon scandal and one of those is how West Mercia Police seem unable to investigate cases sufficiently or properly enough in order to provide enough evidence against the mostly Muslim offenders, to secure convictions.
According to press reports, in the last ten years, 37 cases of alleged sexual crime in Telford where gangs of offenders are involved have been ‘investigated’ by West Mercia Police, have ended up being dropped prior to prosecution. In some of these cases the Crown Prosecution Service has dropped these cases due to there being ‘no realistic prospect of prosecution’.
Whilst there is of course the possibility that the CPS is deliberately dropping these cases for political reasons, the CPS has, it needs to be said, been heavily penetrated by identity politics activists of influence, it’s likely to be the case that the blame for the lack of progress with these cases lies with the police. Too many of these cases seem to be being terminated way before charging stage, before the stage where the CPS would normally be involved.
If it is the fault of West Mercia Police that these cases are not being investigated properly then maybe these investigations should be carried out by another force? If West Mercia Police’s Telford officers are tainted by political correctness and being governed by a fear that increasing the strength and vigour of the investigations would ‘upset’ the town’s Muslim population and maybe cause them to riot, then an investigation of these crimes by an external force, is necessary. The taking over of these investigations by officers untainted by political corruption and political correctness may bring some relief to those unhappy with how West Mercia has handled these matters.
The Daily Mirror report into the contemptible mess that West Mercia Police have made of the Telford Islamic Rape Gang investigations paints a picture of both incompetence and possible political policing with regards to these crimes.
The Daily Mirror said:
Dozens of probes into child sex exploitation in Telford have collapsed – with NO convictions.
Over the past decade 37 investigations into child sex crimes involving more than one alleged attacker failed to bring anyone to justice.
Victims – who gave police at least 267 names – fear some of the worst sexual offenders are still at large in the Shropshire town.
One, whose case collapsed after she gave police the names of 68 men, told the Sunday Mirror: “It’s really wrong. These men are getting away with it and their abuse ruins lives.”
Many of her claims were backed up by diary entries but the Crown Prosecution Service said there was no realistic prospect of a conviction.
Whilst an allegation is not the same thing as a body of evidence sufficient to meet the criminal standard of proof of ‘beyond reasonable doubt’, it certainly seems to be the case that there have been so many allegations from so many different complainants that it is enough to warrant a thorough investigation by West Mercia Police. My concern is that this force has not investigated these cases and allegations thoroughly enough to gather enough evidence to bring cases before the court. After all this is the same force that ignored a tidal wave of allegations of Islamic Rape Gang activity between 1999 and 2009 when they were eventually prodded by public concern and political criticism into carrying out investigations.
Many will suspect that West Mercia Police is not being as thorough as they could be in investigating these appalling crimes and that lack of thoroughness may be down to either political concerns or the force continuing to see, as other forces in other areas have done, those who are victimised by these Islamic Rape Gangs, as having made ‘lifestyle choices’ to be abused. I don’t know about you but with West Mercia’s track record up until 2009, I find it difficult to believe that they’ve done all that they could to stop or prosecute these terrible and destructive crimes.
Whilst it is indeed possible that the CPS has been corrupted by a culture of political correctness, it needs to be said that they can only proceed with cases that are likely to end up with a realistic chance of conviction. If the police are not supplying the CPS with sufficient solid evidence of a crime then they cannot move forward then we need to ask why? We also need to ask ourselves why so many cases of child sexual exploitation in Telford do not have that sufficient body of evidence for a prosecution and if the blame for that situation lies with West Mercia Police themselves?
