Another 38 men and 2 women

[Curryman]

Arrested in West Yorkshire for historic child abuse in the Batley and Spen area. No further details at present, but once again goes to show the size and the depth of this problem.

Not seen this anywhere, but disgusting, hope they throw away the keys.

Good that they have been caught but sad that it still seems to be happening on a regular basis.

Good that they have been caught but sad that it still seems to be happening on a regular basis.

And even sadder that these obnoxious criminals do not get punished enough!

 

[Bob Hatton]

Disgusting, I hope they convict and throw away they key if found guilty. We must never be afraid to speak openly about this issue and the local community must cooperate and report any other cases where this is happening.

Ok, at the risk of being branded racist, were these all Asian? They have been so far in that part of the world.

 

[Curryman]

No idea, if it's like a previous case in Huddersfield, the women will be white British and the men will be mainly Asian with a sprinkling of white British. But, as I said in my OP, no further info presently.

Why did you feel the need to ask, and not wait for details to be released?

Because he can ask the question, that's why.

There’s lots of things we can do, but we don’t.

There’s lots of things we can do, but we don’t.

Why? Recent history points that way, but there you have it, as I said, “at the risk of being branded racist” free speech is banned now.

Why should we be afraid to ask a question?

It's naughty..........................that's why........................you bad man, you!

The offences are said to have taken place between 1989 and 1999. So they aren’t current.

The people arrested haven’t been charged and have all been released on police bail pending further enquiries.

The identities of the people arrested haven’t been revealed so any speculation about who they might be is precisely that. Speculation.

But yes. Convicted sex offenders should be punished severely.
