I went to the authorities, my parents did. I sat and gave video interviews with the police, I was willing to work with them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201cBut as soon as I said the names, I was made to feel as though I was racist and I was the one who had the problem.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201cI was specifically told not to comment on the ethnicity of the perpetrators,\u201d Emma said, adding she was told \u201cnumerous times\u201d by police and social workers not to mention race.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201cI knew I wasn\u2019t racist, but I felt like that was used as a way to silence me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Asked by Ms. Hopkins how that made her feel at the time, Emma said:\u00a0\u201cMy perpetrators\u00a0made me feel like I was in the wrong and they [police and social workers] fed into that. And I felt like: \u2018Maybe my perpetrators are right. Maybe it\u2019s not them that\u2019s got the problem, maybe it\u2019s me\u2019.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Groomed from 12, Emma told LBC listeners she was a virgin when she was raped at age 13. Detailing that the rapes happened regularly, she described one occasion where she was locked in a property and sexually assaulted\u00a0by multiple men.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The Muslim grooming gang then began blackmailing the young teen, and threatened to gang rape her mother if she told her parents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201cThat was my life,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The rapes continued after she reported it to police, as authorities told her it was \u201c[her] word against his\u201d. The police had also lost the clothes she had been raped in, leaving her with no evidence for a prosecution.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Let down by authorities, she found herself being further abused by other rape gangs. She reported rape again at the age of 14, but police said there was not enough evidence.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Eventually, her parents moved her out of the country.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">\u201cNobody wanted to stop it, and that was the only way they could stop it,\u201d Emma said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Ms. Hopkins told Emma that other parents of victims of Muslim grooming gangs had moved their daughters abroad, saying moving girls to different parts of the country was ineffective as the rape gangs are \u201cnetworked between cities\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">The Rotherham child sex abuse scandal is the biggest child protection scandal in Britain\u2019s history, where, since the late 1980s, police and social services failed to protect girls from predatory grooming gangs made up of Muslim men for fear of being labelled racist, leading to institutional cover-ups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Other Muslim grooming networks, including in <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/london\/2015\/03\/13\/police-cover-up-of-child-sex-abuse-in-sheffield-bigger-than-rotherham\/\">Sheffield<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0and <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/london\/2016\/04\/08\/rape-gang-jailed-offences-rochdale-girl\/\">Rochdale<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, have also been exposed since the first convictions in Rotherham in 2010.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ccffff;\">Last week, Breitbart London <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ccffff; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/london\/2017\/05\/11\/bbc-drama-muslim-rape-gang-no-mention-islam\/\">reported<\/a><\/strong><\/span> that the BBC drama <em>Three Girls, <\/em>which tells the story of three children from Rochdale targeted by a gang of Pakistani and Afghani origin Muslims,<em>\u00a0<\/em>makes no mention of Islam in the trailer or in any press releases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/london\/2017\/05\/14\/rotherham-child-rape-victim-authorities-did-nothing-mention-ethnicity\/\">Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cI knew I wasn\u2019t racist,&#8221; said rape victim, who was 13 when she was raped, but now feels the authorities implied she was as a means to &#8220;silence&#8221; her <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39262,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[38,93],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-151731","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Race","category-historic-sexual-abuse"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151731","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39262"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=151731"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151731\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":151762,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151731\/revisions\/151762"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=151731"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=151731"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=151731"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
