Chloe.

Throughout her early childhood, “Chloe” was popular in school, performed well academically, and had an active social life. Chloe recalls a largely safe and supportive home environment under her father’s care. But after his sudden death shortly before her tenth birthday, her life began to collapse.

She then moved in with her mother and her mother’s new husband, whom the report describes as a pedophile. Already at the age of 10, the stepfather began systematically raping her. The mother discovered the abuse several times but chose not to intervene. On one occasion, the mother entered the bathroom while her daughter was in the shower and the stepfather was raping her—the mother closed the door and left without saying or doing anything.

The abuse by the stepfather included repeated vaginal and anal rapes, often under threat and with violence. She was forced into oral sex where the man forced his penis deep down her throat until she vomited.

When Chloe was around 13, the abuse began to involve Muslim grooming men in organized networks. She was subjected to systematic gang rape by groups of mainly Pakistani and other Muslim men. She was drugged with alcohol and drugs, picked up by taxi from school or home, and taken to houses, apartments, and other places where groups of men took turns raping her vaginally, anally, and orally.

A particularly brutal example was when one of the men took an empty glass bottle (Jack Daniels bottle) and forced it into her vagina. He continued the assault so the bottle broke inside her, causing severe injuries and bleeding. She was about 12–13 years old at the time.

Chloe became pregnant several times as a child, suffered miscarriages due to trauma and violence, and was forced to have abortions. She was diagnosed with several sexually transmitted diseases such as chlamydia in the throat and vagina, gonorrhea, condyloma, and pelvic inflammation—but the authorities (social services and clinic staff) did not report the abuse and only talked about contraception and sexual health. Police knew she was in cars and houses with adult men but took no action against the perpetrators.

Her testimony shows how intra-family abuse transitioned into organized grooming and gang rape by Muslim men, with total betrayal from both family and state institutions. She lived in a constant cycle of hell consisting of rapes, torture, trafficking, and institutional indifference.

Marie.

Marie’s testimony is among the most extreme in the report. She was subjected to severe torture and sexual abuse both within her family and by a larger network of men. Her mother and her mother’s partner used physical objects such as bottles and clothespins, which they clipped onto her genitals and nipples to cause pain during the rapes. She endured repeated anal rapes, where the men used force causing her to bleed profusely.

They urinated on her, bit her leaving permanent scars, choked her until she nearly lost consciousness, and filmed everything for blackmail. Marie became pregnant several times as a child and teenager—sometimes she was forced to have abortions by having sticks or other objects inserted into her womb. A policeman she turned to for help (a man in his 50s) promised protection but raped her instead. When she later reported the abuse, she was dismissed by the police. None of the perpetrators were convicted despite extensive evidence. Marie lived in a constant hellish cycle of daily gang rapes, abuse, and torture in “red rooms”—rooms furnished for extreme sadistic rape and torture. Her trauma includes lifelong physical and psychological injuries.

Leanne.

Leanne was drawn into networks in, among other places, Sheffield and other cities, mainly by Kurdish and Iraqi men. She was drugged with alcohol and drugs, repeatedly raped by groups of men, and held captive in apartments for several days at a time. She described how as a child she was forced to witness and take part in an extremely violent environment: she saw stabbings and machete attacks on others, heard and saw shootings with firearms, and was herself forced to handle and hold pistols and other weapons under threat.

She suffered severe abuse with beatings, kicks, and strangulation parallel to the sexual assaults. The men penetrated her vaginally, anally, and orally in turn, often while filming and laughing at her as “white trash” or “infidel whore.” At 15, she became pregnant by an adult man in the network, miscarried, and continued to be trafficked between different places. Records were manipulated with false age information to minimize the severity of the crimes. Despite authorities being aware of the risks and her situation, they did nothing—none of the perpetrators were convicted. Leanne lived in an underworld of organized crime, weapons handling, and systematic sexual slavery.

These testimonies are just a few examples among the hundreds presented in the report. They show the systematic pattern: grooming from an early age, progression to gang rape, torture, trafficking, pregnancies, and total state betrayal. The report emphasizes that such stories repeated across hundreds of municipalities all over the UK for decades.
