Keir Starmer’s darkest grooming gangs secret exposed
EXCLUSIVE: An explosive Express investigation reveals Sir Keir Starmer’s CPS committed a ‘betrayal’ of a grooming gang victim so horrific that an independent reviewer labelled it ‘deplorable further abuse’
Rochdale grooming survivor has branded Sir Keir Starmer’s account of her case “vile” and accused him of lying to help his political career.
Survivor Ruby, not her real name, was raped five days a week from the age of 12 to 15 by a Pakistani gang, who forced her to get “blackout drunk” and threatened her with a gun when she said no.
Impregnated aged 13 by gang member Adil Khan, Ruby, who has special needs, had her aborted foetus taken and frozen by Greater Manchester Police without her knowledge or consent.
She was appalled to learn that when Sir Keir’s Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) belatedly took action, they only pursued conspiracy charges against her chief abuser Khan, who was released after just three years.
She branded Sir Keir’s repeated use of his role as director of public prosecutions at the CPS during the Rochdale case to bolster his reputation “disgusting”.
“It’s absolutely vile,“ she told the Express. “How can he stand there and say he did a good job? They had DNA, concrete evidence, and still didn’t get [the offender] charged with rape.”
The survivor added that the British public could have “no way” of trusting the Prime Minister.
Ruby is joined by police whistleblower and ex-Detective Constable Maggie Oliver in calling for the Prime Minister to step away from any involvement in the upcoming national inquiry into grooming gangs, citing a conflict of interest in how the CPS treated victims at the time of the offending.
Ms Oliver, who resigned as a detective over the police’s handling of the Rochdale case, told the Express that Sir Keir’s CPS had made “horrific” decisions that must not be replicated.
She highlighted the “betrayal” of Amber, a key witness whom the former detective was instructed to befriend as police sought to put the Pakistani rape gang behind bars.
Confirmed as a victim by senior members of the CPS, the teenager provided hours of interviews to Oliver detailing the sickening sexual abuse she and other children had suffered.
However, for “tactical reasons”, the CPS decided to portray the girl as a teenage pimp who was procuring children on behalf of the gang. Amber was not informed that she would be named in court and was unable to defend herself against these allegations at any stage.
