RASE Report: Religiously Aggravated Sexual Exploitation of Sikh Girls (download link)

[dalsingh101]

I just read the RASE report and I think that not only should every Sikh in the UK read it, those in other western diaspora communities (i.e. Canada and the US) should read it too, so they can be aware of such things taking place in their own countries of residence and also be informed about the persistent inaction by English authorities in dealing with this matter over decades.

Girl, 12, went to police station to report sexual assault - but officers sent her away with OTHER abusers who went on to rape her 15 times

• The incident happened in October 2007 when the victim, now 27, was subjected to more than 20 assaults by eight men in one night, including 15 rapes 
• Just one attacker,  Shakil Chowdhury, now 54, was caught and jailed for six years
• Greater Manchester Police failed to produce 'forensic strategy', returned evidence to Chowdhury and destroyed 24 items of evidence, investigation found
• Victim was also subjected to grooming by teacher Paul Waites, now 48, despite telling social workers who claimed she was 'very attention seeking'
• Victim case to be examined in probe into child sexual exploitation in Oldham

 

 

A woman has detailed her experience after she put her trust into the hands of police after a sex attack, but was handed to predators who inflicted more abuse at the age of just 12. 

The young girl was sent away by a desk clerk who told her to accept a lift home with two men who were at the police station over motoring issues. 

It was just the beginning for the young girl, who suffered more than 20 assaults by eight men in one night, including 15 rapes.

 

Now 27, the woman continues to fight for answers, writes the Sunday Mirror. 

Just one attacker was caught but 15 years on, and the victim has not received justice, after the Independent Office for Police Conduct found a string of failings, yet failed to launch disciplinary action against any officers. 

The case is now part of an independent probe into child sexual exploitation - but only after the victim insisted that it be included. 

Talking to the Sunday Mirror, the victim said:  'It's derailed my life. It's always there, even when I try to move on.

'No child should have to go through what I did. I'm speaking out to protect others. The trauma never goes away. I've still got PTSD. I don't want this to happen to anyone else.' 

The incident happened on October 27, 2006, when she attended Oldham Police Station in Manchester to report being molested. 

A man had sexually assaulted her while she drank cider in a churchyard. 

But, she said the clerk dismissed her as a timewaster, and urged her to leave with two men who offered her a lift.   

'The clerk said, 'They've offered you a lift, go with them'. The men were being asked to produce licences for driving offences.

'I don't know how they haven't been identified. There must have been logs.'

She says the men then took her to a car and sexually assaulted her.

She was then driven to the home of a man in his 40s who she says also sexually assaulted her before giving her money to get a bus home. 

She was picked up on the next street by Shakil Chowdhury, now 54, who was posing as a taxi driver and promised to help her. 

But he and another man in the passenger seat drove to Chowdhury's house, where three more men appeared. 

She says she was raped 15 times by the five men, before being bundled into a car and abandoned the next month. 

The girl's parents were at home when she returned, having called police the previous evening. 

But, officers took four hours to respond.

She was then examined, and her injuries were deemed consistent with being raped, and underwent days of video interviews with police. 

She also told police about the attack in the churchyard, but it was not treated as a crime. A senior detective later said this was 'entirely proportionate.'

Shakil Chowdhury (pictured) was jailed for six years after admitting to six rapes 

A report into the decision to return evidence to the perpetrator also revealed that 24 items of evidence had been destroyed in 2008.  

'The decision to release certain items of property seems to exclude the possibility that the items may be of forensic relevance to the other unidentified suspects,' the report read. 

'The bedding and towel had not been submitted for forensic examination, however, they were returned. 

'Clearly, items had been disposed of, and had they been retained from the original inquiry, then it may or may not have led to us identifying people or eliminating them.'

When Operation Solent failed to lead to fresh charges, the victim asked GMP to review the original case. 

She says she was 'failed by the system' - and not for the first time. 

Prior to the incident in October 2007, she was groomed and abused by a teacher who befriended her online. 

Paul Waites, now 48, lured her to a Sainsbury's car park after the pair spoke online, and then raped and assaulted her over the course of the summer of 2006.

Paul Waites (pictured) was jailed for a further 11 years after the victim reported him to police, to find he had been jailed in 2009 for assaults on other children. Last year, he received a life sentence for raping another victim in Leeds in 2005.

 

It was only in 2013 that she felt able to report Waites to police, only to find he had been jailed in 2009 for assaults on other children. 

He admitted raping and abusing the victim in 2015, and was jailed for a further 11 years.  Last year, he received a life sentence for raping another victim in Leeds in 2005. 

The woman now searching for answers has since made an official request to access her files, including a report written by a sexual health worker when she was 12, after she claimed a social work she she was 'trying to shock her' when she disclosed the online grooming and abuse to her. 

It read: 'She is now on her third sexual partner. She has made an informed choice to remain SA [sexually active]. She has a mature attitude and looks older than her age.'

Despite her age, notes added there was 'no indication of abuse', and an outreach worker added: 'I feel [victim] is very attention seeking and tries to get a response from me.'

 

In 2018, Greater Manchester Police upheld two of the girl's complaints, ruling that her case should not have been closed after Chowdhury's conviction, and that officers should not have taken four hours to respond when she was reported missing in October 2007. 

When Greater Manchester Police failed to sanction any officers, she contacted police watchdog, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), which ruled a further four complaints should have been upheld including a complaint referring to how the victim was treated at Oldham Police station in October 2007. 

But the IOPC ruled it could take no further action as the clerk could not be identified. 

The IOPC also said that aspects of evidence retrieval were flawed and that potentially relevant evidence was destroyed, and that greater care should have been taken with notebooks, which have subsequently been lost.     

One officer was advised to receive further training.  

The victim could now have grounds to sue the police under the Data Protection Act.  

Her case will now be examined in the independent probe into child sexual exploitation in Oldham, which will examine claims that agencies were aware of ongoing abuse but 'failed to respond appropriately to safeguard children and subsequently covered up these failings'.

Between 2006 and 2020, Oldham social services had referrals warning 700 children faced a potential risk of sex abuse. 

The victim said: 'No one tried to stop me from meeting him. I thought he was my boyfriend. It made me feel like it was normal.

Gerard Jones, managing director for children and young people at Oldham council, said: 'There were times when vulnerable people did not receive help they should expect and deserve.

'Things have improved significantly in recent years. We were, and are, determined not to shy away from issues, but to gain fresh, honest and independent insight, and learn lessons.' 

Greater Manchester Police said £2.3m has been invested in a new child sexual exploitation investigations unit. 

'Victims of child sexual abuse and exploitation will be listened to, taken seriously, treated with empathy and supported,' a spokesperson said. 

'Whilst we cannot comment on the specifics of this case and what was clearly a terrible ordeal for the victim, extensive investigations and reviews were carried out. No case for misconduct was found and all further lines of inquiry investigated. No further suspects were identified.'

An IOPC spokesman added: 'While we agreed with the force that no officer had a case to answer for misconduct or gross misconduct, we were not satisfied that appropriate findings were made in relation to some of the allegations. 

'In upholding some of the appeal, we considered a detective constable should receive management action over record keeping and evidence preservation to learn and reflect on their actions.'

'I wanted to find out why this had happened. I knew I'd been failed, but I was totally shocked by just how badly I'd been let down.'

I'm pretty good and finding stuff and have had zero luck with that pdf or site. Or even evidence the site existed. 

Here's three closeish contenders that will be interesting to read. They may have offensive ideas. Have not read yet.

Summary

 

The Sexual Exploitation of Young Sikhs inthe UK

 

 A new report sheds light on some of the consequences of turning ablind eye to allegations

 

by Paula Boddington

 (January 2019)

Much of the world now

knows about the UK’s shameful ‘groominggangs’ (or mor

e accurately, rape, pimping, and torture gangs), that havedevastated the lives of thousands of young people, their families, andcommunities the length and breadth of Britain. In media reports, thesegangs are often said to be targeting white girls (and some boys). Manyhave known for some time however that, in actual fact, victims can comefrom any community and from any ethnic or religious group. It remains

 

 

the case that not enough is known or understood about ‘grooming gang’

crimes, and how they fit into the broader patterns of the sadly widespreadsexual abuse of children and vulnerable young adults.

 

A recent report published in November 2018,

The Religiously AggravatedSexual Exploitation of Young Sikh Women Across the UK 

,[1] (the RASEreport) has brought to the attention of the media, both in Britain andelsewhere, allegations of widespread targeting by mostly Muslim Pakistani

 ‘groomers’ of Sikh girls and young women—

and indeed, sometimes boystoo. The report presents evidence that Sikhs have been victims of suchcrimes for nigh on fifty years, with court cases documented as long agoas 1961, and reports of abuse ongoing. The report alleges that Sikhs havebeen especially targeted because of their religion. It documents

allegations that men have pretended to be Sikh in order to gain a girl’s

trust, and it argues that demographic and cultural factors made Sikhs aparticular target of Pakistani Muslim predators.

 

The RASE report also claims that cultural and religious factors meant thatthe Sikh community has been repeatedly failed by the authorities, withtheir allegations of targeted abuse ignored or rejected. Why might this bethe case? According to the report, there appear to be distinctive patternsto the abuse of young Sikhs, but for anyone who has looked in detail atthis particular kind of crime within the wider community, certain aspectsare all too recognizable. These similarities extend to the ways thatallegations have been brushed aside, and to how the victims, theirfamilies, and communities, have been viewed.

 

The accounts of patterns of exploitation have a sickening ring offamiliarity. A Sikh woman whom I met at the launch of this report,Harminder Kaur, told me afterwards:Ever since from my secondary school days, I have seen first-hand howthe girls would be targeted by the Pakistani men outside the schools andyounger inside the school. There were cases of men hanging aroundoutside the school. As I had come from India and I was educated in thepolitical history, I was more aware of the root causes. Also, there wereonly a handful of Pakistani girls coming into school in those days, as soonthey were in their teens they were married off or sent to Pakistan,another reason that the target for boys and men were the Sikh and Hindugirls.

 

There were girls who fell into the vile trap that was laid to them by thePakistanis too, they were innocent girls with dreams. Some girls feltundervalued and craved attention whilst others were from middle classfamilies who became targets. I remember one girl who had come fromEast Africa and few weeks later, she went missing. It was quite commonto hear that so-and-

so’s daughter had run away with a Muslim. To where

no one knew.

 

 

 

 

There are particular aspects of the grooming of Sikhs that merit closescrutiny and understanding, including the claim that these crimes arereligiously aggravated. The alleged patterns of abuse meted out uponSikh victims shed further light on the widespread abuse by groominggangs carried out on young people from the white British population; it isinstructive to compare and contrast the modus operandi of the crimesagainst different victims. Indeed, there is reason to consider that, hadconcerns of the Sikh community been taken seriously decades ago,

 ‘lessons might have been learnt’, to coin a phrase, regarding the abuse

which subsequently came to light against white victims. As the report

says, ‘At the same time as the concerns of the Sikh community remain

unaddressed, gangs of predominantly Pakistani men have been convictedof targeting young white females for sexual exploitation in cities acrossthe United Kingdom. The common factor among these convictions is theutilisation of those techniques identified by the Sikh community thirty

years earlier.’ 

[2]

 

The RASE report is presented as an interim report only, and indeed morework needs to be done, but there is plenty of reason to think that thesituation merits considerable attention. Allegations of widespread sexualexploitation of white girls by gangs were being made for years before anyserious action was taken, and official reports and serious case reviewshave identified various factors which led authorities, including the police,the social services, and local councils, to turn a blind eye to what wasgoing on.[3] This in itself gives

 prima facie

 reason to wonder if the samemay be true concerning the allegations in the RASE report.

 

However, at the same time as taking these allegations seriously, it’s vital

to be as precise and as rigorous as the evidence to date allows. Witnessthe attacks which have been levelled at the report into grooming gangsby the Quilliam Foundation, released in 2017.[4] The authors of thisreport admit that they were prompted to examine the issue out of

scepticism about claims that ‘Asian’ men (a term widely used in Britain to

indicate ethnic origins in Pakistan, Bangladesh, India or Sri Lanka) weredisproportionately involved in the particular type of serious sexual offence

that’s come to be known as ‘grooming’. Yet the report concluded that

about 84% of the known offenders were in fact of Pakistani ethnicity.(Maajid Nawaz has stated more explicitly that the majority of perpetratorsare not simply Pakistani, but Pakistani Muslims.) This figure has sincebeen widely cited, and also widely criticised. There are indeed

shortcomings in Quilliam’s report. The report is unclear about how the

researchers collected the data they used and how they analysed it. Thereare also difficulties in ascertaining the ethnicity and religion ofperpetrators, and of victims.

I'm pretty sure these types of 'slaps on the wrist' sentences just sent a message to the warped predators to do it even more.  

History clearly shows this to be the case.
