Twenty-one convicted in West Midlands child sex abuse inquiry

  1. Disgraceful. Glad the police got them but it took almost a decade too long. There’s something seriously wrong with this country that so many groups operate for so long and cause so much damage.

  2. I didn’t know what a Sexual Harm Prevention Order was, so I look it up. It’s a specific court order given to those convicted of sexual abuse. In cases involving abuse against children, it will likely involve.

    It bans an offender from going near places where children congregate (parks, schools and nurseries for instance), or even places children are likely to be (shopping centre for instance).

    It may ban an individual from the internet, or at least using the internet without monitoring software the police track. It also bans an offender from living with their own children and bans unsupervised contact with their children.

    The police will regularly inspect the offenders home without notice to ensure you are complying with your restrictions.

    Personally, I think many of these restrictions should be made universal to all those on The Sex Offenders Register, rather than just a few cases.

  3. I know everyone’s looking at the race angle, but the thing that caught my eye is how many women are on the list – eight out of the twenty two by my count. Isn’t that unusual for this sort of case?

  4. It’s kind of an odd article, it doesn’t say what they were doing or how the defendants were connected.

  5. Some of these people are quite young, I am wondering if they were victims first before becoming abusers themselves as it appears to relate to crimes up to a decade old.

  6. Strange how the Daily Express has chosen to have only a brief article, effectively just reprinted part of the press release, which doesn’t even mention the names of the convicted, let alone show their faces.

    They are normally quite happy to show them all and encourage the vitriol they (rightly) attract too…odd.

    I guess their crime reporter was busy elsewhere…that must be it.

    Or maybe they didn’t want to make Suella’s latest pontifications look rather suspect.
