David Greenwood, a lawyer representing dozens of child grooming gang victims, has issued a stark warning about the prevalence of such crimes, claiming there are “potentially hundreds of thousands” of victims “in every town and city” across the UK.
Greenwood, who currently represents 50-60 victims seeking compensation, argues against a new national public inquiry, deeming it a “waste of money.”
Instead, he advocates for implementing the recommendations from the 2022 Alexis Jay inquiry to focus on future safeguarding and prevention.
Speaking on Chopper’s Political Podcast Greenwood described how victims, now often in their 20s, face a grueling legal process that questions their traumatic experiences, adding that many are discouraged from seeking justice due to the adversarial nature of the system.
Greenwood highlighted the systemic failures of authorities, recounting cases from northern England, including towns like Rotherham and Rochdale, where local councils and police failed to act.
Most victims, aged 12-16 during the abuse, settle for compensation between £20,000 and £50,000, often spent on therapy.
He criticised the treatment of victims, who were often blamed or dismissed by authorities.
Greenwood also noted that while many offenders he dealt with were of Pakistani descent, there were also perpetrators from Eastern Europe.
Perpetrators also from plain british descent.
And like rapists ( also has been going on for centuries) ALL MALES
Nope. I’m of “plain British descent” and I’ve never raped anyone thanks very much.
With all due respect you sound like a typical pathetic lefty woke indoctrinated moron.
Smarten up please. Learn to think for yourself.
What even is a “grooming” gang?
Rape gangs.
Mostly of Pakistani heritage for some reason as it’s turned out.
All very sad.
