All I can say is... about bloody time!! Millions in taxpayers money as they fought extradition ... & just 2 months ago Khan actually came face to face with his victim in Rochdale .... in unsupervised contact with a young child! It beggars belief!!!

In Rochdale, Rotherham and my own hometown of Telford, child sexual exploitation still runs rife
The media has been fascinated by the Ghislaine Maxwell case, but they continue to ignore a crisis in our own back yard
Why? Because the victims are mainly white working class girls.

Let’s keep the conversation alive and let politicians, police and social services know we want the young girls to be put first.
We don’t want to hear about "diversity". It’s time they got their priorities straight and protected the lives of young girls before their abusers.(2/2)
I know Twitter isn’t the place for personal posts, but I couldn’t ignore today! Happy heavenly birthday to my husband and soulmate. Until we meet again 💕
I’m pleased to see that finally the sentences are substantial and are beginning to reflect the magnitude of the crimes. It’s been a very long time coming….. but I thank the judge in this case and I am sure that finally the victims will begin to be able to look ahead with some…

, THESE ABUSERS NEVER LEFT ROCHDALE! Furthermore there was NO DOUBT that rapist Adil Khan got his 13 year old victim pregnant... as a Detective working on the case I can confirm we had DNA from the foetus that 100% proved guilt!
Further to my tweet last night, can I also make my followers aware that the child that ADIL Khan abused at 13 actually came face to face with him in the local Asda a few weeks ago.. she reported this to safeguarding who say they can do nothing.
This is another reason why trust in our criminal ‘INJUSTICE’ system is non existent!!!! Words just fail me! Absolutely scandalous! Those who made this decision deserve to lose their jobs!!😡

Manchester sex abuse: Exploited children 'were not protected'
An opinion piece I’ve done for The Telegraph today….following the latest report into police/social services failures to protect children in Bradford over decades
After what I saw in GMP, I know those at the top of policing,even when guilty of misconduct in a public office,slither away, protected, draw enormous pensions, win knighthoods with no legal redress.The Met are no different. Corrupt & unaccountable.

#justiceforellie
family from the prison where she is remanded. Our country is failing in so many ways, and it’s often those with vulnerabilities of many different kinds that suffer most....
I want to stress Humberside police (& Op Hydrant) were dragged kicking/screaming to this “review”! The victims came to us, we worked with Sky exposing cover up, only NOW are they “revisiting” this. Thats the truth.. people power achieved this turnaround!
These are the words above the doors of the Courts of Justice in London, & are meant to be the principles by which we live....what happened to our once great system! Why can it no longer be trusted to do what is right, not just what is convenient?

I’m pleased to see that in this case the accused are mostly charged with rape. Unlike many other cases where CPS & police charge lesser offences because they are easier to prove. But then sentences on conviction are wholly inadequate.
This is not a racial issue, it’s a child protection issue, & this report isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.
