Twenty men have been found guilty of being part of a grooming gang that raped and abused girls as young as 11 in Huddersfield.
The men were convicted of more than 120 offences against 15 girls.
Victims were plied with drink and drugs and then “used and abused at will” in a seven-year “campaign of rape and abuse” between 2004 and 2011.
At Leeds Crown Court, the ringleader, Amere Singh Dhaliwal, 35, was jailed for life with a minimum of 18 years.
Other members of the gang were jailed for between five and 18 years but the court heard many perpetrators have never been identified.

Not only was she slagged off she also received threats to try and intimidate her into silence. To her immense credit, she refused to be silenced,

Sarah Champion stated on the TV that Rotherham has risen to 1500. If many of these girls were raped multiple times, wouldn’t we be talking about 100’s if not 1000’s of perpetrators?

Any signs that Rotherham Bradford Politics is being warmed up to allow the usual suspects to add insult to injury by providing words of support for these criminals?
The current Home Secretary Sajid Javid has come under fire for stating the blindingly obvious fact regarding the criminals ethnic background, and from no other than Ms Abbott, Labour Shadow Home Secretary.
Labour, yet again get it so very wrong.
