Khan Under Fire As Girls ‘As Young As 9’ Trafficked In London

 

 

 

Sadiq Khan is facing fierce backlash after shocking new claims that girls as young as nine are being trafficked, raped, and forced into prostitution by grooming gangs operating across London.

 

The allegations — revealed by The Express and MyLondon — suggest the Mayor of London was aware of reports detailing children being abused in hotels by groups of men, even as he publicly denied grooming gangs existed in the capital.

 

One victim, “Amy,” was just a child when she was repeatedly raped, drugged, and traded across London and Hertfordshire. Retired Met detective Jon Wedge, who investigated such cases, said girls were trafficked to “high-end Mayfair restaurants and saunas.” He accused senior officers — and by extension City Hall — of ignoring warnings for years.

“Where was the outcry when I was saying all this a decade ago?” Wedge told The Sun, adding that victims were failed “again and again.”

 

Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp accused Khan of a “shameful cover-up,” claiming the mayor “personally responded to reports containing evidence of victims abused by grooming gangs.” The Met has now reopened over 9,000 cases — directly contradicting Khan’s earlier claim that London had “no reports” of such crimes.

 

Khan’s office insists he is “vigilant” to threats of child exploitation and is “holding the Met to account.” But critics say the reassessment comes far too late for hundreds of ruined lives.

The controversy comes as grooming gang victims accuse Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer of “making a mockery” of survivors amid turmoil in the government’s abuse inquiry.

 

Key Takeaways:

• Girls as young as nine reportedly trafficked and raped across London.

• Khan accused of “covering up” grooming gang evidence despite prior warnings.

• Met now reviewing 9,000 cases after years of official denials.
