Rochdale "Sex gang" leader sentenced.

[jimslip]

Can anyone explain to me why when referring the the Rochdale gang of Pakistani men raping dozens of under age girls, they are referred to as a , "Sex gang" and not a "Paedophile gang?"



Also what to the wise ones of BGAFD think of the sentence? Too harsh? Too soft? Bear in mind the judge was constantly interrupted by the defendant screaming, "The police made it all up!" Do you think he's been fitted up by the police? Do you think he is innocent of all charges?

I think the sentence was too light.

The bastard should be strung up from a lamp post.
He will probably be out in 14 years and free to do it all again.
If he was strung up he definitely wouldn't be able to do it again!!

If you google on Rochdale paedophile gang you will find plenty of newspapers who use "paedophile", "child sex gang" and "sex grooming gang" etc. so I don't think there is any particular way in which it has been uniformly described by the press.

I would have thought a longer sentence might have been appropriate. My understanding is that he was serving 19 years for the Rochdale paedophile gang stuff and the recent sentencing of 22 years is related to the rape of a girl over a period of 10 years. The two are supposed to run concurrently so without having checked, I assume he could be out after little more than a decade. Given his role as ringleader and his refusal to accept guilt, I would have thought a longer sentence was appropriate.

And just to highlight one thing, the girl in question that he was sentenced to 22 years for raping over the 10 year period was Asian. So much for all the views on this forum that these creeps would never target a non-white because of the way they would be treated in their own community.

I don't care about the skin colour, religion or nationality of either the attacker or the victim. What does concern me are the strange priorities of the British legal system. Yet again, somebody responsible for causing such misery and harm to children is given a (in my humble opinion) measly sentence (22 years: tops). Will he even serve 22 years? You could be sentenced to a sizable chunk of those 22 years for a much lesser crime in which you may well have actually harmed nobody. And let's not forget that he'll no doubt be kept separate from the general prison population, so he'll be protected from people inside and outside of jail. For crying out loud, they could at least have given this evil bastard life! Not 25 years or 30, but imprisonment for the rest of his natural life. That wouldn't have been to much to ask for would it?

So shall we just forget about the 30 white girls being raped? Never mind the countless others that probably weren't reported?

I don't understand your point, is it, "Ya boo sucks to you lot, look he actually raped an Asian girl as well, so there, he wasn't targeting just white girls?" Why do you repeatedly attempt to weave some kind of racist connotation into this case, its almost as if you think that this monster has been in some way, "Victimised".

It is all the more terrifying because your mindset is identical to those enforcing the climate of political correctness over the local Chief Constables at the time, who as a result were terrified of arresting this rapist and his mates for being Pakistani and therefore part of a PC "Victim group".

I can't help thinking that if you had been in a position of influence at the time and you were approached and told of the "Sensitive issues" of ethnicity, regarding the accusations against these rapists, you would have either turned a blind eye and done nothing or probably accused the informant of being a racist.

I also believe that if New Labour had won the last election these guys would be still running amok and you would be screaming "Racist" to anyone who even mentioned rumours of events going on in Rochdale. I suppose that you have forgotten that these gangs were all arrested and charged weeks after the general election.

I expect it is because the Coalition are racists?

Here is an article that should warm the cockles of your heart and surely something you can cite when you are wringing your hands as to the plight of the "victims" in this case? No don't worry, I didn't mean the girls, God forbid, I meant the rapists! !happy!

"So shall we just forget about the 30 white girls being raped?"

Of course not,

A number of people posted on here that this group would never target anyone other than white girls for fear of retribution and the risks associated. This is clearly not true since the leader of the gang raped an Asian girl over a period of 10 years.

That is my single and only point.

FUcking grow up!

if you want to bore the arse off the forum with your views on the entirety of this topic, be my guest, but dont involve me.

Use the search button to remind yourself of what I have posted on the subject.

My comment is purely about one aspect ie. not daring to target Asians and not the entirety of the issue.

[bernard72]

The word Asian covers a multitude of nationalities. What nationality was this girl. Was she Chinese asian, Indian, Russian. Not that it matters. And did he pass the girl around his group of sickos to also rape.

At the end of the day they are all sick bastards who after they are released from prison (I suppose it will be when, not if) they should all be castrated.

I don't mind if its chemical or with a rusty pair of garden shears.
