Sammy Woodhouse was the original whistleblower of the notorious grooming gangs in Rotherham. She was a victim of Ash Hussain, who raped and groomed her for most of her teenage years. She said: I’d be seen by police on a daily basis with him. They would pull him over, ask how he was, he never had any tax or insurance, they didn’t care. They didn’t suggest that a 14 and a 24 year old was wrong. I lied to protect him too and I was the one who got the criminal record when they found us in bed once and charged me for having a baton in my bag. Imagine, her abuser caught in bed with an underage girl, and they don’t charge him — but they charge her! This week, it was reported that some police officers also abused children who were victims of these grooming gangs. One victim says she was raped from the age of 12 by a serving police officer in a marked car. He threatened to hand her back to the gang if she did not comply. PC Hassan Ali is named as one of the perpetrators. He died in 2015 following a car crash. He is alleged to have also been involved in supplying drugs. Later, Sammy says Ash’s family got involved. They wanted to take her eldest son (conceived by rape) because: They wanted to convert him to Islam. They wanted my son to have an arranged marriage. My son was excited he was going to marry his cousin and be a daddy. They told him I was a white slag.

I have written before that we can’t neglect the connection between grooming gangs and elements of Islam, with its theological justification of sexual abuse of non-Muslim girls. Justice has finally caught up with this abusive Muslim family. It took a while. Meanwhile, also last week it emerged that police in Rotherham took time out from dealing with actual crimes to arrest a Christian street preacher for asking a question of a member of the public about what the Qur’an says.
