This little girl was just 11 when she was groomed and raped by these monsters who last week ,finally, were given long prison sentences for destroying both her life and the lives of other children 20 years ago.

As I often say, victims are viewed as just an ‘afterthought’ in our criminal justice system, a ‘commodity’, someone who is ‘useful’ but too often undervalued and treated disgracefully. The system doesn’t even refer to them as a ‘victim’ but as a ‘witness’ most of the time. They have virtually no ‘rights’ at all and their wishes routinely go unheard.

So the only voice they have is when they finally get to have their say following conviction of their rapist in a Victim Impact Statement. It is far too little, far too late, but better than nothing. In this case, this little girl raped by over 150 abusers had to wait 20 YEARS to be heard!

So to even have their right to speak their thoughts after conviction denied them is just another kick in the teeth and an insult which shows just how they are viewed and how unimportant their words. And in my opinion it’s absolutely disgusting, and shows again how we need a total ‘sea change’ in our treatment of victims.

This young woman has waited TWENTY YEARS to be heard, she’s put herself through hell to bring these men to justice, and even after all that she is silenced, yet again!

I had similar cases in my 16 years as an officer in @gmpolice where I had to fight for Victim Impact Statements not to be ‘edited’ down by the @CPSUK but on those occasions I won the argument on behalf of the families - but I didn’t make any friends in the process I must say.

Thankyou @CDP1882 and @GBNEWS for being the only media outlet to attend court to cover this story for these young women. I guess that says so much about why we are where we are today and why these crimes still often remain ‘under the radar’.

Thank goodness for common sense in the UK.

Now this should be applied in the US as soon as possible.

MANCHESTER AIRPORT: UNSEEN FOOTAGE

Here’s CCTV footage of the buildup - the context we all needed to see. I think you’ll agree, it sheds a whole different light on matters

Back in the mid 80's #Chelsea launched their very own 'Chelsea Collection' to tap into the growing terrace fashion culture. Keith Jones and Kerry Dixon both look very impressed 😎

My girls and I saw Omri taken from us right before our eyes.

We have to see him return.

There’s no other option.

Please, help us bring them all home 🎗️💔

Just so you know @GaryLineker this is what 1930s Germany look like.

We said ‘never again.’ The UK was a safe haven. Now, after the biggest massacre of Jews since the holocaust, British Jewish children are being advised to hide their identities as they walk to school, for their own safety. There should be mass outrage that this is necessary.
