EXCLUSIVE: Grooming abuse gangs operated in Tameside in Greater Manchester as police missed key opportunities to intervene.

@GBNEWS can reveal that one of the alleged abusers now works in the public sector in the region. Image
Lucy, not her real name, spent Christmas in hospital aged 14.

She had pelvic inflammatory disease caused by an untreated STD after gangs of men abused her.

A police officer visited her house as she kept going missing, but told her off for being a nuisance. Image
Greater Manchester Police admit they fell far short of the help victims expected from the force and say that they now have specialist officers ready to listen and act on reports.

GB News understands that there are several more survivors in Tameside waiting to come forward.
In July, the police watchdog and Ofsted singled out Tameside for being too slow in combatting grooming.

Its children’s services have been rated “inadequate” since an Ofsted review in 2016. The department was again deemed “inadequate” in 2023, the watchdog’s lowest score.
Lucy fears retribution for speaking out.

She was beaten by the gangs and they threatened her if she spoke out at the time.

Lucy also fears their families and wider community who viewed her as "trash".

Her bravery is incredible.

NEW @GBNEWS: A woman has denied assaulting a security guard at a hotel housing asylum seekers after a man residing there allegedly entered her blind mother’s flat with his hand on his genital area.

gbnews.com/news/migrant-h…
The court heard that the trouble started on Wednesday evening when Channay Augustus was caring for her mother when an asylum seeker entered the flat.

The man was said to have “had one hand on his genital area, another in the pocket of his hooded jumper.”
After chasing the migrant out of her mother’s house, she allegedly went to the hotel at around 6pm where she confronted a security guard.

She then allegedly returned with a meat cleaver and started banging it on a metal barrier outside the hotel, the court heard.

BREAKING @GBNEWS: The National Crime Agency has taken control of an investigation into allegations of child sexual abuse by former South Yorkshire Police officers.

Officers from Operation Stovewood will now lead the probe independent of SYP.
@GBNEWS The shift comes after the six complainants in the operation and their lawyers told the BBC and GB News that they did not have confidence in SYP to lead the investigation.

So far, three former officers have been arrested but none have been charged.
@GBNEWS SYP Assistant Chief Constable Hayley Barnett has said in a statement that she is "mindful there is a chance that some victim survivors may be suffering in silence and unwilling to make a report as a result of SYP’s involvement."

EXCL @GBNEWS: A Labour group has been slammed for promoting for a Stand Up To Racism counter-protest ahead of a demonstration at an asylum hotel in Aldershot tomorrow Image
@GBNEWS The Farnham & Bordon CLP shared the flyer, which called on activists to “stop the far right” and march towards the hotel.

Aldershot residents are expected to gather at the hotel - where small boat migrants have been staying for several years.

gbnews.com/politics/migra…
@GBNEWS At demonstrations this year, counter-protestors were escorted to the hotel by police officers, despite some wearing face coverings.

A resident told me: “Labour activists should not be aligning with counter-protestors who risk creating a disturbance at our peaceful event.”

EXCL: @GBNEWS can reveal that the IOPC told a victim the name of a former police officer who was under investigation for grooming gang abuse.

The mistake was then cited by the police when they released the suspect from bail with no further action.

gbnews.com/news/revealed-…
@GBNEWS Elizabeth was kept in a rape den for 10 weeks. One of her abusers was nicknamed 'PC'. She realised later that this name related to his role as a police officer.

She made a complaint this year and he was swiftly arrested.
@GBNEWS But his name was given away, which could have an impact on investigations through ID procedures and therefore affect the prospects of a conviction.

Elizabeth made a complaint about the incident to the IOPC, which upheld the complaint and apologised.

Grooming gang victims in Rotherham have said that corrupt police officers worked alongside the gangs or failed to act on their abuse.

The BBC is reporting that five women have told them that they were abused by police officers alongside the gangs. Image
The BBC has shared allegations that:

- a police officer supplied class A drugs to a grooming gang

- an officer had sex with girls in exchange for drugs and money

- three women describe being beaten up by officers, including in a police cell

bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
The extensive allegations and witness accounts were collected by a specialist child abuse legal firm Switalskis.

Lawyer David Greenwood said: "I'm sure that the full truth in terms of the level of corruption and the extent of it in Rotherham has yet come out."

This is the moment that a Christian street preacher was arrested because he refused to give his details for a non-crime hate incident.

Police in Rotherham detained him after he asked a Muslim woman about Islam's teaching on domestic violence, which she alleged was intimidating.
Ex-miner John Steele approached a stall offering support to women experiencing domestic abuse.

He told me that the conversation was brief and polite.

But police still swarmed him after the incident and said it was being recorded as a "hate incident".

gbnews.com/news/christian…
He told me that he now feels "vindicated" after the CPS declined to press charges.

But his representatives told me they will be investigating whether a ‘hate incident’ has been recorded against his record. Image
