Shockingly poor policing, weren’t lessons supposed to have been learned after Rochdale? Seems like young girls are still being blamed and overlooked.
And as for this passage
“Kiera wanted the man who abused her to be deported back to India. But she was told that he had in fact been given the right to remain in the UK despite being prosecuted for a sexual offence against a child.”
I’m baffled.

I’m sure a ban on plea deals sounds great, but it seems to me that it would probably lead to less convictions overall…
