Police 'hid' abuse of 60 girls by Asian takeaway workers linked to murder of 14-year-old

At least 60 schoolgirls were groomed for sex by workers at seedy takeaways linked to the murder of a 14-year-old girl.

Children as young as 11 were targeted by mainly Asian staff at fast food outlets in Blackpool. They were offered food, alcohol and cigarettes in return for sexual favours.

An unpublicised police report produced after 14-year-old Charlene Downes vanished in 2003 found the girls, most if not all white, had been victims of the ‘honey pot’ premises. There were claims last night that the report was suppressed for reasons of political correctness.

Four years later another girl, 15-year-old Paige Chivers, also went missing. Detectives believe she was killed like Charlene, whose body has never been found.

Two Middle Eastern restaurant owners were acquitted over Charlene’s murder in 2007 and the crime remains unsolved.

The pair still run a kebab shop in Blackpool which was also linked to Paige, and she too was identified as a victim of sexual exploitation. Last year police reported that the takeaway was attracting young girls who were being supplied with alcohol and cocaine.

The revelations about the scale of grooming centred around the downmarket cafes comes amid growing concern at disturbing cases involving mainly Asian gangs exploiting young white girls for sex in the Midlands and North of England.

The girls, often from vulnerable homes or in the care system, were befriended by men who showered them with gifts and affection before using them for sex.

Former Home Secretary Jack Straw has said the girls were seen as ‘easy meat’, while David Cameron called on police to follow criminal acts ‘without fear or favour’ wherever the evidence leads.

The Home Office commissioned a nationwide investigation into the problem, which has long been considered taboo by police officers fearful of being branded racist.

Indeed, a former senior detective at Lancashire Police yesterday blamed political correctness for its failure to highlight its 2003 findings in Blackpool.

But the force denied this, saying the report had been available online since 2007 but had never been intended for publication.

Senior officers insisted an intensive programme to break the cycle of exploitation had been a success and that in the last six months 50 of 54 grooming suspects were white.

Shocking claims made in court over Charlene’s murder revealed fears that her body had been put through a mincing machine, with takeaway staff said to have joked that her remains had ‘gone into the kebabs’.

A jury failed to reach a verdict on charges that Jordanian immigrant Iyad Albattikhi had murdered her while his Iranian landlord Mohammed Reveshi had disposed of her body.

A retrial collapsed in 2008 amid failings in the police investigation and the men were paid almost £250,000 each in compensation.

The kebab shop run by Mr Albattikhi and Mr Reveshi has changed its name from Funny Boyz to Mr Beanz. It was refused a hot food licence last year amid fears about ‘sexual activity’ linked to the premises, but the pair blame a ‘police vendetta’ and have appealed.

Following Charlene’s disappearance in 2003, police found more than 60 girls were being groomed for sex by non-white men centred around 11 Blackpool takeaways.

They were mainly aged between 13 and 15, but some were as young as 11. Yesterday former Detective Superintendent Mick Gradwell warned that research into the problem was being hampered by ‘political correctness and concerns about upsetting community cohesion’.

But Lancashire police denied a cover-up. Assistant Chief Constable Andy Rhodes said his officers were making significant progress in tackling child sex exploitation across Lancashire, regardless of the background of the culprits.

He added: ‘We recognise that in some areas the number of Asian offenders is disproportionate to the population and far from ignoring this, have been tackling the issue head on by working with the local communities, giving presentations to community forums and visiting mosques to raise awareness.’

It was reported yesterday that while most British sex offenders are lone white men, details of court cases in 13 towns showed that out of 56 men convicted of multiple offences of grooming girls for sex, 50 were Muslim, mostly of Pakistani heritage.

Wjkk Wjkf,

Again and again we see this. It's now the wider media and government bodies who are confirming this. All Sikhs who were skeptical at first, and thought Sikhs who spoke up on this had other agenda, please now take note.

Khalsa ji, I have seen over the last few years a general acceptance within our community to i)Accept that there is a threat specifically to our children. ii) Willingness to talk about it and combat it.

We must do more. The biggest threat comes from Internet grooming. Please warn all young parents of the problem.

The BIGGEST threat will be on newly immigrated Punjabi families. Faujees who are brining their wives over and settling in inner city (predominantly Muslim areas) These guys are much like our parents generation who have little knowledge of grooming and internet etc. THEIR CHILDREN MUST BE PROTECTED. IT'S OUR JOB!

ALL SIKHI classes, Panjabi Classes should have this included some detail in their curriculum.

This is just typical of Pakistani men.

We are fighting two battles, not only the Pakistani Pedos, but the left wingers who hide their crimes, this includes The Establishment, left wing media, and organisations like uaf who will stand up for them .

Ok I accept the uaf and others like that are loony nut jobs, however it’s the job of the Establishment to combat this problem and the Medias to highlight it.

Its true bout freshy families too, I saw a faujje Singh in part of England where I haven’t sceen a Singh for ages, its a right Tournda Ghetto

just disgusting...

from a neutral point of view -don't label all muslims as bad. remember that we have "bani" by muslim sufi saints which we all appreciate. these are similar kinds of cases where our own punjab police/punjabis were involved (not once several times). even the high ranking police or admin officials in chandigarh have been known to get into these kinds of deeds. i believe it is the person not the whole community. maybe some communities have more of these kinds of individuals but not all of them. if any religious person or institution is promoting that kind of agenda i.e. grooming then they are not religious at all.

Thing we need to notice as well is how whites themselves are playing this up as a problem between nonwhite men and their white girls. This is dodgy and we shouldn't be blind to their own agenda in all this.

A lot of us will know that Sikhs in the UK have been making noise about this for A LONG time but now the British media are dealing with it, it seems that they want to make it into a skin colour issue.

They don't give too much of a crap about apneean either it seems and just want to protect their own?
