The Isle of Wight has been named as a local authority district where rape gangs are known to have operated, as revealed in a politician-backed ‘Rape Gang Inquiry Report’.
The 219-page report, which was published yesterday (Tuesday), details decades of organised child sexual exploitation across the United Kingdom and heavily criticises the “institutional reluctance” of authorities to confront the crisis.
In total, 149 local authority districts, including the Isle of Wight, were identified within the report as known areas where rape gangs have operated.
The independent report was spearheaded by Great Yarmouth MP and leader of Restore Britain, Rupert Lowe, and was crowdfunded by over 20,000 members of the public through a campaign titled ‘The Rape Gang Inquiry’ .
So far, a total of £792,815 has been raised towards the independent research, which included the mobilisation of a qualified panel to oversee the inquiry and the creation of a legal advisory team to support the panel throughout the inquiry.
What is happening to the island thesedays.
This is a crowd-funded report by a group led by an extreme right-wing politician who have demonstrated no research credentials nor evidence of their research status. Before people start panicking that we are all about to be gang raped it might be helpful to have a clearer picture of the bona fides of this “Report” and its authors.
Well there’s a closed mind if ever I saw one.
