Rochdale Groomers

(Courtesy of the BBC News) "Nine men have been convicted of being part of a child sexual exploitation ring in Greater Manchester. The men, from Rochdale and Oldham, "groomed" girls, one as young as 13. Liverpool Crown Court heard the men plied their victims with drink and drugs so they could "pass them around" and use them for sex. The case, involving Asian defendants and white victims, sparked protests by far-right groups but police insist the grooming was not "racially motivated". The offences which centred on Heywood included rape, trafficking girls for sex and conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child. The court was told that the abuse, which began in 2008, took place at two takeaways in the town involving a group of men aged between 24 and 59. The takeaways are now under new management." Isn't this a prime example to bring back the death penalty?
