From the Daily Mail
Protesters have been shown to be denouncing grooming gang trials as racist and using abusive terms to describe young girl victims.
Phrases such as ‘dirty b****es’, ‘lying b****es’ and ‘sick cow’ have been aimed at abuse survivors – and shared during TikTok and WhatsApp chats, it has been revealed.
The organiser of a group called Fighting For Fair Trials, who says many offenders have been wrongly imprisoned, has now condemned the derogatory phrases used by others in online chats. (But it does show what they really think…)
But Samira Khan told MailOnline that supporters were justified in speaking out against girls and young women they feel have made up claims about alleged predators.
She was speaking as a new Channel 4 documentary about Britain’s grooming gangs – called Groomed: A National Scandal – includes testimony from five women telling of their ordeals. (I was already planning to make a post recommending watching this later)
Exchanges recorded from chats during TikTok livestreams include comments such as as ‘The Rochdale thing is a lie. There was no grooming gangs.’
One woman is heard saying, ‘The judge was a number one idiot’, before a man comments: ‘The minute you’ve been charged, you’re guilty.’
Comments shown written in a private WhatsApp group accessed by the Channel 4 documentary makers include ‘Accuser is not a victim’, ‘She’s a known prostitute’, ‘Sick cow’ and ‘These lying b****es’.
Other remarks include ‘Dirty stinking f***ing dog’ and ‘They talk s***’.
Samira Khan, who leads the campaign group Fighting For Fair Trials, told MailOnline she disapproved of derogatory comments posted online. . . Talking of grooming gang abuse, she added: ‘I’m not saying it doesn’t happen – it does happen and it shouldn’t happen. But there are a lot of men that are falsely convicted. I know my brother is innocent.’ (Her brother is) Irfan Khan, 37, from Batley in West Yorkshire, who was last year sentenced to 12 years in prison, with a five-year extended licence, for three offences of rape and making threats to kill.
He was part of a group of more than 20 sexual predators locked up last year for a total of 346 years after eight young girls in West Yorkshire were raped, abused and trafficked across 13 years.
Channel 4 has said of its new documentary, scheduled for Wednesday evening, that it ‘puts the experiences of five courageous women at the heart of a story that spans more than 20 years’. Groomed: A National Scandal is scheduled to air on Wednesday 30 April at 9pm on Channel 4.

It’s about time that the flame of shame begins to cauterize the putrefaction called worship of Al-Iblis as faith in Allah.
