A whistleblower who served with Greater Manchester Police (GMP) in Britain says the force has left a “massive” pedophile ring at large for at least seven years. The same force oversaw the rise of the now-infamous Muslim rape gangs scandal in Rochdale, England.
The former officer, identified as ‘Lucy,’ was assigned to a major investigation in 2022, only to discover some of the suspects were involved in a 2018 case that was closed without resolution.
“A lot of the professional material such as children’s records, medical records, and school records had not been requested, had not been read, because, if they had, they would say that many of the children had reported multiple disclosures of sexual abuse, physical abuse, neglect, and psychological torture,” she revealed.
Lucy reopened the 2018 case. However, her investigations were under-resourced, and time to see victims regularly “just wasn’t made available to me.”
Lucy said if GMP investigators “were allowed to follow the lines of inquiry, I think they would find it was a massive, massive” pedophile ring — but promises to provide her with adequate resources were repeatedly broken.
“I thought, I can’t change anything. I can’t keep saying the same thing. It’s draining the life out of me,” Lucy said. She ultimately resigned from the force altogether, reporting the child protection unit was “not fit for purpose” and detailing her concerns — which were ignored.
“I don’t feel like we’re making things better for these kids. In fact, I think we’re making it worse,” Lucy said.
Her revelations follow the release of a report on Rochdale’s rape gangs. It found police left white girls “at the mercy” of Muslim groomers for years. GMP claims “lessons have been learned” from the scandal, but Lucy said the same issues are “still happening.”
“It’s appalling, the treatment these victims get,” she said.
