Nine jailed in the UK for sexually harassing teens
1-3-2019
A British court issued a jail sentence to nine men who raped and abused two teenage girls living in a children’s home in Bradford, BBC reported. The Bradford Court heard the details of the abuses which started after the girls moved into the home back in 2008. The culprits were convicted and given jail sentences of 18 to 20 years. During the trial, which lasted more than six weeks, prosecutor Karma Melly said the gang had taken advantage of the girls while they were still 14, indicating that some of the defendants were appallingly violent and used force, drugs and alcohol to sexually exploit them. Others, Melly said, created a manipulated relationships to facilitate the sexual abuse. For her part, one of the women, 25-year-old Fiona Goddard, said she decided to reveal her true name waving her right to anonymity. “Victims of abuse are victims. There is nothing to be ashamed of,” Goddard said. (Al Diyar, March 1, 2019)
