31 tiltalte for seksuelle overgrep i Huddersfield

Fotomontasje av noen av de tiltalte i saken.

30 menn og 1 kvinne er tiltalt for å ha begått seksuelle overgrep mot unge britiske jenter i Huddersfield. 40 politibetjenter passer på utenfor Kirklee tingrett hvor demonstranter har samlet seg. Flere demonstranter syntes imidlertid det var viktigere å markere nei til rasisme og nei til English Defence League (EDL) enn vise sin avsky for de tiltalte voldtektsforbryterne.

EDL var på plass.

«I’m a racist? What race is Islam?» roper en av EDL til sine motdemonstranter.

Det var 19 personer som ble tiltalt i retten idag. De resterende 12 blir tiltalt imorgen. Av de 19 tiltalte så langt, heter 5 Mohammed. Men det er det altså fremdeles rasistisk å påpeke for enkelte. Selv om man nå i større grad kan erkjenne det etniske aspektet ved de omfattende sex-groomingssakene, så er det et godt stykke frem før de naive unge voksne kan fokusere på det primære problemet.
