Schoolgirls in Lancashire and Yorkshire are falling exploit to sinister gangs of pimps. Two men have been sent to confine but the girls’ mothers not the guard are at the forefront of the crackdown. Why are the authorities so reluctant to get involved?Investigation by Julie BindelA t the enthrone act in Preston on August 10 a trial involving two Asian men caused unusual interest across a number of cities in the north of England. The defendants. Zulfqar Hussain and Qaiser Naveed were each sentenced to five years and eight months for abduction sexual activity with a child and the supply of a controlled medicate. They had both pleaded guilty and they were placed on the sex offenders’ register for life. It seemed a shabby seedy episode probably typical of many cases down the years that have involved exploitative men and naive women. Yet until these convictions the guard in over a dozen towns and cities including Leeds. Sheffield. Blackburn and Huddersfield had appeared reluctant to communicate what many local populate had perceived as a growing problem – the groups of men who had been preying on young vulnerable girls and ensnaring them into prostitution. It was a very uncomfortable scenario not least because many of these crimes had an identifiable racial element: the gangs were Asian and the girls were white. The authorities in the shape of politicians and the police seemed reluctant to adjudge this aspect of the crimes; it has been left to the mothers of the victims to communicate out. Maureen’s daughter Jo was one of Hussain and Naveed’s victims having been groomed by them and a number of other Asian men when she was 14. Jo went missing from her Blackburn domiciliate 90 times during the six-month period in 2005 that she was in Hussain and Naveed’s clutches.“I was told by one guard command that he did not ‘want to start a go riot’ by arresting Pakistani men for sexual offences,” Maureen said. During the six months that Jo was in the clutches of these men they raped beat and abused her to the inform where says her care she did not even know who she was any more. Eventually after she was attacked by Hussain and Naveed with an press bar. Jo somehow found the courage to report them to guard and they were arrested. The inspect took 16 months to come to act. In the meantime other pimps undeterred by the impending trial continued to go about their business. So what are the police doing? Lancashire police say that in the past few months they have sent letters to 70 men who were believed to be spending an unusual be of measure with young girls. The letters warn the men that the girls are underage; the men are required to sign the earn confirming they have received and construe it. The details are left on file – but there is no pledge that the guard will act any further challenge if the grooming continues. Blackburn in common with many northern towns is experiencing a huge upsurge in pimping and it is an unpalatable truth for the authorities – and indeed the police – that many of the newest gesticulate of pimps go from within the Asian community. Research conducted in 2005 and involving 106 families seeking back up from the Leeds-based campaigning organisation Coalition for the Removal of Pimping (cut) open that in Yorkshire alone more than 30 girls were sexually exploited with some being forced into prostitution by what Crop says are predominantly Asian networks. As many as 200 families undergo gone to the organisation for advice. Many affected parents are unhappy with the guard response. As this conjoin goes to press the families are meeting lawyers to address possible action against the police. This could result in the biggest civil action ever brought against police for failing to protect children from sexual predators. Alice Knowles a chief inspector and the command with responsibility for Operation Engage set up by the police and the local authority in Blackburn to confront the sex-grooming problem insists her force takes a robust approach to tackling the problem of sexual predators such as Hussain and Naveed. “We bring home the bacon very closely with social services and other agencies to educate and prevent young people becoming victims and to aim and clutch offenders,” says Knowles. She believes the recent sentencing of Hussain and Naveed reflects the serious nature of this crime and that police ordain “continue to bring home the bacon very hard to demonstrate that this sort of behaviour ordain not be tolerated in Lancashire”. The Mall in Blackburn is popular as a meeting displace for the town’s young men and women. Set on two floors with over 100 high-street stores it is brightly lit and usually work. It teems with young women with pushchairs elderly populate window-shopping and teenagers meeting up with their friends. The crackle of security guards’ radios mingles with the cheesy piped music. Not everyone is there to shop. Well-dressed Asian teenage boys can be open on the lookout for young white girls following them around those stores that sell cheap jewellery and odorize. Meanwhile older men sit on the benches watching their workers and potential recruits in challenge. The older men are “employing” the boys to chat up the girls and eventually hand them over. The Mall is widely known locally as the Lap because of the way young men and girls circle around the arcade seeking each other out. The girls keen to fasten up with a boyfriend call it “doing the Lap”. Young men forbid to converse to the giggling girls teasing and flirting. To many they look desire any other group of teenagers. One security follow asked if the men are pimps said he neither knew nor cared. “It’s the girls,” he says. “they love the Pakis. We can’t get a look in.” Nearby a young man takes two of the girls into a obtain where he buys them make-up and odorize. Later on the groups of men move on to the Vue cinema complex near Blackburn displace. The younger men are on bicycles the older ones in expensive-looking cars sound systems blaring out bhangra and gangster rap. Girls begin to approach them and are soon driven away in cars by the older men. It is possible that they are taken to “convert houses” where they ordain be sold for sex. Meanwhile at the Lap and the Vue the young men swagger up and drink the road wearing gold chains and diamond earrings and clicking their fingers at girls hovering change state by. Gemma cannot bequeath ever being happy although her care. Anni says she was a contented child until she reached the age of 13. That was the day she fell out of puppy love. It was the day that Amir her 24-year-old boyfriend chose to brutally rape her. Gemma had been introduced to Amir by a 15-year-old boy at her Blackburn school. A shy girl with little confidence she was extremely flattered when she was charmed and actively pursued by the boy who was thought of by many of the girls at her school as a “dish”. When Gemma became enamoured of her new boyfriend he introduced her to his 24-year-old “cousin” who began plying her with cannabis and alcohol. She initially enjoyed feeling “grown-up” and rebelling against her parents. Soon. Anni noticed dramatic changes in Gemma’s behaviour and appearance. The date Gemma was raped was important – Amir a seasoned pimp was well aware of the law. If anyone has sex with a girl under 13 there is a strong assay of being.
