Robert Jenrick Calls for Whole Life Sentences for Grooming Gangs

Robert Jenrick, the former immigration minister and current Tory leadership contender, has advocated for stricter penalties for grooming gang members. Jenrick argues that members of these gangs, responsible for heinous acts of child sexual exploitation, should face whole life sentences, ensuring they never walk free again. He believes the current maximum sentences for crimes involving group-based child sexual exploitation and sexual assault are insufficient and should be replaced with a minimum whole life term for convicted offenders. This change would mean life imprisonment without the possibility of release.

 

Currently, under the 2003 Sexual Offences Act, the maximum sentence for grooming is a minimum of 14 years. However, some members of grooming gangs receive much lower sentences, sometimes as little as four years, even for horrific crimes such as raping girls as young as 13. Jenrick finds this disparity unacceptable and calls for a more severe approach. 

 

In addition to advocating for harsher prison sentences, Jenrick proposed automatic deportation for non-British offenders involved in grooming gangs. He also suggested criminal penalties for public officials who fail to report these crimes and the introduction of permanent electronic tagging for any offender released from prison. Jenrick expressed his belief that victims of grooming gangs in places like Rotherham should be consulted about the creation of a monument in their town. He believes such a memorial would serve as a lasting reminder to the nation of the injustices suffered by victims and the failure of authorities to protect them.

 

"The dedicated grooming gangs task force led to the arrest of over 550 suspects in a single year," Jenrick noted, referencing measures introduced by former Home Secretary Suella Braverman. While he acknowledges this as a positive step, Jenrick feels it is not enough. "Anyone who thinks these crimes are no longer happening is delusional. That view, sadly widespread across the most powerful people in Britain, is condemning more working-class girls to these savage and life-ruining crimes."

 

Jenrick stressed that the issue of grooming gangs is still prevalent today, citing findings from the Telford Report, which indicated that this form of exploitation remains widespread across the country. He went on to call the situation "a stain on our nation’s moral conscience," arguing that it is time to take more decisive action. "Anyone who has read the Jay report would support locking up these disgusting predators for life," he said, referring to the 2014 Alexis Jay report, which found that at least 1,400 children were groomed in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013. This number was described as a "conservative" estimate.

 

Jenrick also proposed lifetime bans and penalties for public servants who failed to act on grooming gang crimes. The Alexis Jay report had previously revealed that some public servants refrained from reporting these crimes due to fears of being labeled racist. Jenrick's proposal includes creating a "blacklist" that would prevent any such official from working in the public sector again. He expressed concern that many grooming gang criminals have been released back into the very communities where they committed their crimes, leading to the traumatic situation where victims encounter their abusers in public.

 

To prevent this from continuing, Jenrick proposed permanent electronic tagging for grooming offenders and a lifetime injunction barring them from coming near their victims. In extreme cases, this could even mean barring offenders from living in the same town where their crimes took place.

The UK's parole system is generally pretty good.  The reoffending rate is pretty low, 0.5% I believe - https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0CPJW85Y1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_d_asin_title_351_o00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (beware this is a paid-for book, but it is written by a senior parole board member (Rob McKeon, he's been on radio and tv talking about it, so his name is public domain).

 

Just let them out when they are no longer a threat to anyone.  Same goes for thieves and anyone violent, probably a lot of other categories too.  

 

The criminal justice system should be protecting the law-abiding public or anyone vulnerable.  It currently is not.  The latest reoffending rate I could find is 37.4% - https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/proven-reoffending-statistics-april-to-june-2022/proven-reoffending-statistics-april-to-june-2022

 

The parole system seems a better judge of potential reoffending than, well, judges.

There have been  protests against the lenient  sentences given to  predominantly Muslim grooming gangs guilty of molesting children  in the UK. 

These sex offenders demand a high moral standard from their own daughters but think nothing of abusing ours.

   What should be the jail sentence be for gangs of men who serially abuse Children ?

   As you are saying that a life sentence is too harsh  what should their jail  sentence be ?

The current maximum penalty is 14 years imprisonment, last revised in 2022 when Jenrick was a minister in a Government with an unassailable majority in Parliament.

What do you disagree with here specifically?  What do you think should be the appropriate sentence for raping a 13 year old child?

   No need to be rude and abusive .

You opposed Jenrick in a thread about him wanting a life sentence for groomers . 

   Do you agree with Jenricks proposals for life sentences for groomers , if not, what do you think should be a suitable sentence ?

   (BTW , could you reply seriously and not with some stupid reply about ice creams )

Jenick is simply trying to out rabid his rabid opponents for leadership of the Tory Party.

 

The sentence for these crimes was last revised in 2022 when he was a member of the then Government.

No I do not.

 

I do not think the sentencing of any criminals should be determined by a politician using criminal sentencing in pursuit of personal political advantage.

 

Jenick was in Government the last time the sentencing for these crimes was reviewed, if there is something wrong with the sentencing then he is part of the problem.

Wouldn't it just be simpler just to castrate all Muslim men in the UK?  Would avoid an enormous amount of child rape and save a fortune in court costs.
