I'm unsure if any cases of gang grooming and pimping in Bolton have been flagged up anywhere as yet? The article here concerns not a conviction for either grooming or sexual offences, but rather depicts the consequences of such activity. At least the judge and jury were lenient enough not to convict the teenage girl being tried for selling her pimps coke. Too many times the victims of crime end up becoming the ones criminalised:

I would respectfully suggest that the entire contents of this article need not be cut and pasted onto this thread. The only thing I would add, is that unlike some of the other material being contended here, this girls statements were clearly made under oath.
