How could so many years of horrendous abuse go unnoticed?

The details of the Oxfordshire child sex ring – convicted on Tuesday – make such wholly disturbing reading one would be forgiven for blocking it out entirely. Turn your face the other way, you certainly won’t be the first. Here we have a gang of men in jocund, leafy Oxfordshire – seven were found guilty – who have groomed and sexually abused numerous vulnerable children. Eleven-year-olds, 12-year-olds, many of the girls were in children’s homes.

In a story abundant with echoes of Savile, the men were known by the staff to drive to these “places of care” and pick the girls up. The offences that the seven men have been convicted of included child-rape, conspiracy to rape, arranging child prostitution, internal sex-trafficking, and sexual activity with children. It’s one long horror story of men targeting young girls, helped along by vast police and social services errors, and large ladles of dismal apathy.

The children were romanced and wooed by older men. One of the gang was a security guard in Tesco. Some men worked for Domino’s pizza. The girls were raped, gang-raped, put to work as prostitutes, rented out for sadistic torture sessions. The girls were harmed with knives, cleavers and baseball bats. They were given illegal amateur abortions. The children would lie, drugged and drunk, in squalid guesthouses and filthy flats as queues of local paedophiles and opportunistic punters queued up to have sex with them. Full story...
