Keri Russell: Castrate all the Perverted Rapists of the Grooming Gang
“Starmer was complicit in the RAPE OF BRITAIN,” Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, tweeted on 3 January this year. He was accusing the prime minister of failing, as director of public prosecutions, to tackle issues with grooming and child exploitation that go back several decades. A flurry of tweets reignited public interest in the case, something that has been covered for 30 years by the journalist and documentarian Anna Hall, who revisits her work this week for the Channel 4 documentary Groomed: A National Scandal.
The grooming-gangs scandal is far worse than you think. A new film illuminates the shocking depravity of these crimes.
Groomed: A National Scandal review — enraging, harrowing stories…
It is staggering to hear these children called ‘promiscuous’
Anna Hall’s unflinching exposé reveals the years of abuse girls as young as 11 endured from grooming gangs, the misogyny that allowed so many blind eyes to be turned – and how little has changed today
‘Chantelle … was misusing cannabis and alcohol and … placing herself at risk of sexual exploitation” is a staggering sentence to find in a council’s case summary about a child in its foster care system. Here’s another one, from an assessment record by children’s services on the subject of 14-year-old Erin (not her real name). “Erin … is being exploited into prostitution. She hangs around with a number of men who take her money. She is a very promiscuous girl.”
One of the most telling moments in Groomed: A National Scandal (Channel 4) came when a young woman called Chantelle described a brief time in her life when she was happy.
Born to a mum who was “in and out of prison” and a father who couldn’t look after her and her three siblings, she preferred being in care, at least at first. “I was going to school, I was being fed, I was having a bath, I was making friends,” she said. The happiness gleaned from things most children in Britain would take for granted soon ended, and between the ages of 9 and 17 Chantelle was shuttled around 40 different “placements”. She was also one of the five young victims of grooming gangs speaking out in this powerful, harrowing film.
The director Anna Hall explored this scandal in her Bradford-set documentary Edge of the City, but that aired in 2014, which is a sign of how long the authorities have both known about the problem and done so little about it. She returned, reluctantly she says, to a subject that has now become a political hot potato because the problem has still not gone away and justice has not been served, at least for Chantelle, or Steph, Jade, Scarlett and “Erin”, the four other abuse victims who speak out.

Of these five, four have not had any convictions arising from the crimes they are able to describe in detail, though one has a record herself. Jade was given a two-year sentence at a detention centre for inciting sexual activity with a minor because she took a friend to one of the parties she attended, and is now on the sex offenders register. When she was serving time she was “classed as a nonce”. Now, despite rebuilding her life, she says she cannot attend school trips with her own children.
The jaw-dropping stories came thick and fast in the testimony, voiced in person by Jade and Chantelle or by actors in the other three cases, with the real voices overlaying the footage. Multiple sex attacks, one description of a rape in a lavatory by seven men while the victim was being sick. Men “taking turns” with one woman locked away for two days in the same room. Calmly presented, these were stories that did not need embellishing, and they felt as relentlessly, horribly familiar as the carefully worded expressions of regret from police and social services.
It is also extraordinary to think that until very recently social services reports referred to “promiscuous” girls and that the phrase “child prostitute” was even used without immediately recognising that anyone who has sex with a child is the wrongdoer.
Most of the stories showed a depressingly consistent pattern. Targeting children’s homes, separating victims from their peers, plying them with drugs, forcing them to be dependent before recruiting friends or relatives to participate in sustained abuse. The victims weren’t just poor girls in the north, however. Jade’s attacks took place in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, and Scarlett was a privately educated pony enthusiast with a loving father before her life took so many wrong turns she ended up cutting up bags of crack in the bedroom of a care home at the bidding of her groomers.

With the majority of offenders coming from the British Asian community, police and local authority hesitancy over inflaming racial tensions was clearly a factor, as this makes depressingly clear. Detailed reports were overlooked or ignored with the same repetitive monotony that police and social services now issue trite-sounding apologies. As Chantelle wondered: “Is it because they don’t want to be classed as racist or is it because we have genuinely just got no one that cares?” Both, perhaps?

Just because the far-right politician Nick Griffin, the English Defence League and latterly Elon Musk have jumped on this scandal does not mean it is not enraging. One question, not directly addressed in this film, might also concern the government’s refusal to launch another national inquiry, especially as one victim claimed the crimes have not stopped. But as Chantelle argued, one thing was unarguable: “We are not the problem. The men are the problem.”
