Rotherham child-sex victim [alleged] confronts her alleged abuser in the street... but SHE is arrested by a van load of police

 

"A victim [sic] of Rotherham's child sex abuse scandal confronted a man she says groomed her - but was left shocked when she was the one arrested.

The woman was shocked when she saw the man walking through the town's centre on Friday [12/9/14] and decided to challenge him over the allegations.

But she was tackled by two police officers and pushed up against a wall during her 'thuggish' arrest, a witness has said."

"'The woman was arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated public order offences."

'She was taken to Main Street Police Station where she was detained and later released on police bail.'"

The Issue

The victim [sic] has not been identified

*****

Clearly, the absence of a name, makes the date, and location, of any court appearance(s), difficult to ascertain; we required guidance.

On Saturday, 20th September, 2014, we contacted the police and were, ultimately, directed to a named,Team Leader, at South Yorkshire Police.

Following inquires, this person informed us, that, 'Division' were "not aware of an incident of Friday".

We also contacted the local court (23/9/14), but, they were not able to assist, in any way, without a written application.

A Thorold Resident

Pedophile [sic] poster points to wrong address

"A Thorold woman whose home has been targeted in a poster campaign inaccurately claiming a sex offender is living in her residence says her family is afraid to go outside for fear of retribution.

"It's scary," said the Bolton Ave. woman, who didn't want to be identified. "It's literally just blossomed into this huge, huge thing that isn't even true."

But one of the men who handed out flyers warning residents that SMD is living in the house stands by them.

"If we had to do this whole thing again, we wouldn't hesitate doing it," said the Thorold resident, who said he distributed the flyers with members of the Ontario Coalition for Accountability."

With Nothing To Lose

Charity takes holistic approach to supporting sex offenders

"Circles UK's volunteers work alongside police and probation services in running a programme to cut reoffending

Ex-offender James says: 'If you imagine a pile of Lego bricks scattered across a table, when I joined Circles I was only just building the foundations back together.'

When James was released from prison, a year after being convicted for several child sex offences, he felt vulnerable and alone. "There was a lot of just sitting, staring at four walls and twiddling my thumbs," he explains. "It was boring, tedious and frustrating."

The common scenario James found himself in while on licence is also a dangerous one. Statistics show rates of recidivism of between 30% and 50% for serious sexual offenders [quote your sources]. Isolation and a lack of normal social interaction can be a significant trigger for reoffending.

This is where Circles UK has been making an impact. The charity works alongside police and probation services to provide convicted sex offenders with "circles of support and accountability", small groups of public volunteers who ensure the offender, or "core member", makes a smooth transition back into society. So far the success rate is impressive, of the 160 offenders it has supported since pilot projects began in 2002, only eight have been reconvicted.

"Without support we end up with an isolated, potentially dangerous offender with nothing to lose," says Annabel Francis, co-ordinator for Circles East of England."
