Businessman Elon Musk has targeted British PM Starmer.
Tesla Chief Elon Musk on Friday appealed to British King Charles to dissolve Parliament. He accused British PM Keir Starmer of failing to punish rape victims when he was the Director of Public Prosecution 15 years ago.
The historical gang rape case in Britain is currently in the headlines. In particular, between 1997 and 2013, the ‘Rotherham Scandal’, which is known as the ‘Grooming Gang Scandal’, has attracted much public attention. Recently, the Conservative Party had demanded an investigation into the sexual abuse scandal, but the Labor Party government had refused it.
Expressing his displeasure with this, Musk wrote on social media-
Starmer was involved in a UK rape case while head of the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) from 2008 to 2013. He should face charges for his complicity in the biggest crime in British history.
Keir Starmer was head of the CPS from 2008 to 2013.
1400 minor girls became victims of ‘grooming gang’ A report was released in the year 2022. It was reported that at least 1400 minor girls had become victims of sexual exploitation between 1997 and 2013 in the cities of Rotherham, Cornwall, Derbyshire, Rochdale and Bristol, England. Most of the accused were people of Pakistani origin.
Most of the girls were lured and trafficked by an organized gang. The first case was of Rotherham city. Subsequent investigation revealed more similar cases in many cities of Northern England.
UK Health Secretary told Elon Musk wrong
Musk alleged that despite the repeated coming forward of the victims, law enforcement agencies and social service providers continuously failed to take appropriate action in this case and protect the children. However, Britain’s Labor Party expressed displeasure over Musk’s allegations. Britain’s Health Secretary Wes Streeting said on Friday
Musk has misunderstood the British government and has given wrong information in this matter. We look forward to working with Musk to address this issue. I think they should help us deal with this serious issue through their social media platforms. If he wants to cooperate, we will welcome him.
UK Health Minister Wes Streaming has termed Elon Musk’s statement as wrong.
How does grooming gang work?
In Britain, grooming gangs refer to groups of people who physically, mentally and sexually exploit children. Most of them are young girls. They trick them into believing that they are their friends. When children start trusting them, they control them by pressurizing and intimidating them and take advantage of them.
These girls are taken to parties, given alcohol and drugs. Then they were forced to have relations with many people. They are made addicted to alcohol, marijuana and other drugs, so that they remain intoxicated and obey everything the gang members say. These girls do not understand that they are being sexually exploited. Many of these girls also became victims of human trafficking.
Many of these girls became pregnant and had to undergo abortion. Many girls gave birth to their children, but they did not even know the name of their father. These grooming gangs operated throughout Britain, but they targeted the most girls in Rochdale, Rotherham and Telford. There is a popular phrase used in Britain for people who do this – grooming gang.
What is the purpose of grooming gang?
There is no clear and single motto of grooming gangs. It can be guessed from the pattern of their work that they extort money by trapping underage British girls. They sexually exploit them and force them into prostitution. They blackmail them by making obscene videos. In many cases, cases of trafficking of these girls have also come to light. Victim Dr. Ella Hill told in an interview that grooming gangs rape on the basis of caste and religion.
