Rotherham is a small town of population around 250,000 and, as per a new report, it seems as many as 1400 children in the town had been sexually abused. The children included those as young as 11 years – and they we subject to physical beating, rape and being trafficked

It seems most of the perpetrators of the crimes were Asian and no one bothered to pursue the matter with the Pakistani community of the area. The crimes ranged from children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally-violent rapes and threatened they would be next.
The independent report of Alexis Jay, who is a former chief social work adviser to the Scottish government, came after a series of convictions of sex offenders in the region and ground-breaking reports in the Times of London that prompted the local council to launch an inquiry. The period covered in the report is between 1997 and 2013.
This report is nothing but a damning account of the collective failure by authorities to prevent sexual exploitation of children as young as 11.
Jay is quite blunt in blaming the authorities – in his words, the collective failures of political and officer leadership were blatant … from the beginning, there was growing evidence that child sexual exploitation was a serious problem in Rotherham.
Incidentally, Rotherham came into focus in 2010 when five men received lengthy jail terms after convictions of grooming teens for sex. Later, investigations were launched to examine and find out why the authorities failed to act even after frontline social workers had suggested that things were amiss.
