"The Guardian piece was to establish that those 56 convictions were for on-street grooming by groups.
That is what I am discussing.
That is what the Dando Institute Report was about.
That is what Straw, Cryer, Ahmed, Allibhai-Brown, the police, The Guardian, the CEOPS investigation and BBC investigation are all concerned with."

mm hmmm ... and none of them establishes it as a crime type.

In fact, the Dando institute clarify that it isn't one.


"Your Lancs Telegraph link produced the quote I gave."

No Keith, it credits it to the Daily Mail very clearly.

"The biggest case they [engage] have ever dealt with was that music teacher who groomed a few pupils."

You clearly missed this from the Article.

"Specialist team Engage in Blackburn with Darwen, Hyndburn and Ribble Valley, has identified 134 victims and Freedom in Burnley, Pendle and Rossendale, has helped 61 victims.

The team has also identified 44 individuals involved in sexual exploitation of which 32 were white, 11 Asian and 1 other.

Of those, 20 have been arrested, five charged and 21 abduction notices issued.".

You should really pay attention then you might stand a chance of not looking so unbelievably thick.
