UK Father of Grooming Victim Who was Raped by 60 Men Speaks Out

[Social Media]

 

Marlon West, 51, says his daughter Scarlett was raped by more than 60 men from the age of 14. The father of a grooming victim who was raped by more than 60 men has said she still lives with the "trauma every single day". Marlon West, 51, said Scarlett, now 20, was an academic student at a school in Greater Manchester. She was happy with a good friendship group and enjoyed riding her horse, Jasper.

 

 

But her life changed after she was attacked by a gang at a bus station - they started bullying her and she decided it was better to become their friends. An older female member then started grooming her for rape gangs made up of Muslim men, her father told Sky News. Mr West said six men were involved in grooming her from the age of 14 but she was raped by more than 60 before the abuse finally stopped shortly before she turned 18.

 

 

By then, she was too terrified to leave home. "Scarlett isn't a survivor and a lot of these other girls aren't survivors," he said. "The reason being is they're still living with the trauma every day." Mr West, an advanced nurse practitioner for mental health services at the NHS, said his daughter was thrown out of school aged 14 and would go missing for weeks at a time. On one occasion, he tracked her down to a property in Derbyshire, but when he eventually persuaded police to attend, he was told Scarlett was "safe" with the woman who groomed her and "her friends".

 

Mr West said he was "absolutely furious" when police and social services dismissed the abuse as "a lifestyle choice" and was so desperate he put Scarlett into care when she was 15. "I couldn't keep her safe," he said. "It's the hardest decision of my life." But within a week of her returning home, when she had to leave the care system after turning 16, she was going missing again. Mr West said the female groomer had stayed in contact with Scarlett and "was literally waiting for her" when she came home.

 

She was then trafficked all over the country, including Bradford, Birmingham and London. Mr West said he had to "scream" at police to track her down before they raided a property in Rochdale where she was found along with heroin and crack cocaine. Scarlett was arrested and released on bail, but wasn't charged because she was on a Home Office database as being at risk of trafficking, he said. "Even though that [arrest] was inappropriate, that stopped it because she was terrified of going out of the house, which she still is now to a certain extent."

 

Mr West believes the abuse also came to an end because she was getting older and her abusers were no longer interested. "This is not just about child sexual exploitation but also criminal exploitation - she was doing county lines, she was picking up firearms for them," he said. Mr West said any child can be at risk of grooming. "They're stereotyping a lot of these survivors, that they're coming from broken homes, or they're in care," he said. "A groomer doesn't stand outside a school gate and think, 'I'm not grooming her because her dad's a doctor or her dad's a GP' - they don't care.

 

Once they target, that's it." Mr West was speaking as a report by police watchdogs revealed Greater Manchester Police has live grooming investigations involving 714 victims and survivors. The force said it has 1,099 lines of enquiry relating to potential suspects but only 269 who are confirmed. "I think there's more - a lot of survivors haven't come forward.

 

One, because they're probably still being groomed and secondly because they're terrified of GMP and how they've been treated in the past," he said. "It's higher than it's ever been. Services such as police and social services are terrified of political correctness. "The groomers know they can get away with it because there aren't many arrests and so it's increased." GMP Chief Constable Sir Stephen Watson promised to go after child rapists and paedophiles "relentlessly" after the publication of the report, which was largely positive about the force's turnaround in tackling the gangs.

 

But Mr West believes they are "still failing", although he welcomed the investigation opened into his daughter's case. He said he is "hopeful" the national inquiry into grooming gangs by the government last month "will expose a lot of the cover-ups and give accountability" but is worried about the involvement of services such as councils and police forces because of a lack of trust. A GMP spokesperson said:

 

"We have met with Scarlett and her father and we're conducting an extensive investigation into their allegations. "While we understand the impact of their experiences cannot be undone, we aim to ensure that the experience of the GMP of today would be much improved from that of previous years." A Tameside Council spokesperson previously said they were legally unable to comment on Scarlett's case.

Disgracefully late but at least the initial cover-up is now being uncovered.

[proton]

Nice to see the word muslim used instead of Asian or Pakistani, it's the religion which causes this, not the race or nationality.

[Magictoad]

This story might be linked to the thousands of young girls who were groomed then raped by gangs of Asian men. The scandal was covered up by the police, social workers, teachers. This was a terrible tragedy which was covered up for nearly two decades.  All the little children were under 16, white and all the perpetrators were Pakistani men from the Kashmir region of Pakistan. 

After much cajoling and pressure Keir Starmer has finally agreed to hold a national inquiry into the " The Grooming Gang Scandal "

There might be some justice for these girls after all these years. The assaults took place in Greater Manchester and Oldham, Oxfordshire and included up to ten thousand of victims.

The reason the cover up was so effective was that people were scared of being called " racist". And that police themselves were involved in the assaults.

[BarraMarra]

Nearly all the cases being looked at now are Pakistani men not Indian or other Muslim races. In another shocking incident a Blackpool girl was groomed by Pakistani men one of the Rapists even phoned the father from her mobile telling the father listen to your girl being raped. if the investigation is done correctly many heads will roll from top police officers to town Councillors who covered it up from the 80s.

I know if it was my daughter I would be applying for a gun license

If your in any doubt this is not happening please watch this video till the End. This is happening even today in the North of England.

They worship and follow a man who was a child rapist and his book condoning the rape of captives and the low status of women and unbelievers. It IS the religion, Pakistani Christians don't do it, even if some of them are 'bad' people. Thier book is everything to them.

That means they are dumb. The book is likely inaccurate 90%.

Yes; the vast majority of Muslims (or Pakistanis) would never commit such atrocities.  Paedophiles, abusers and rapists can be any religion or nationality.

Correct. Largely uneducated bad groups of people. Immigration laws should be tougher.

[Sir Dude]

Why any country would let in mass amounts of uneducated muslim men with nothing to offer other than their dogmatic religious nonsense towards women is just moronic. Islam teaches that all non-muslim women are there to be prostitutes or sexually serve muslim men... how studpid are European countries? 

[Monolith]

WTF is wrong with these animals.  Just sickening - who the hell wants to do that to any person let alone a 14 year old girl. FFS.

[BarraMarra]

Some are younger Monolith 12 in some cases.

Religion itself has nothing to do with grooming girls for trafficking . These are very disturbed sick animals that look at girls and boys as cash cows. They don't care where they come from, who they are, or what can happen, as that money keeps coming in. They look worldwide for girl and boy runaways, the younger the better, promising them anything until they are addicted and used over and over, and then afraid to turn in their traffickers for fear of reprisal against themselves or family.

 

It's a huge market here in Thailand, along with all other countries, and officials let them escape prosecution in many cases. That some Muslims do this is inevitable, as it happens in every corner of the globe, with all nationalities and creeds involved. It isn't Muslims here that are in control of trafficking, nor in japan and the US. It's all of them involved for that main reason. Profit from human flash.

Go ahead. You are supposed to discuss the topic not other posters. I agree 100% with Fred. You aren't abusing him. Bad people do bad things. Nothing to do with a book.

Spot on. Awful people exist the world over. I hope they catch them.

Besides grotesquely animalistic behaviour,it is domination of the kaffir,who muslims on the whole think are beneath them,

Also in these sick cases it is overwhelmingly Pakistani muslims,

Most muslims are not criminals. Religious bigotry on here won't achieve anything. The police need better resources.

[Felton Jarvis]

My prescription for such animalistic behavior is always lethal injection. The needle is the most humane form of capital punishment ever devised and there should be no hesitation in using it. It may not solve the overall problem but it will solve one PARTICULAR problem when the rapist ceases drawing breath.

It's a sad story. No need to blame all muslims. Most muslims are not criminals. I hope the police catch the criminals.

[BarraMarra]

The video i posted tells you all what is going on if your just posting without looking at the video your just guessing.

[fredwiggy]

It would sure be nice if all of these traffickers and rapists would be caught and put away, but there are thousands involved, including many officials in all countries, and that's how they get away with it for so long. I would hope to see this thing stopped but with sex being the sell point and money to be made, these people will continue, as their clients are almost as bad as they are, and many clients are rich and famous, as history has proven. 

[BarraMarra]

How must it feel for a young girl now 18-19 walking into a supermarket and coming face to face with the man or men who raped her.

Rich and powerful crooks no doubt.
