UK: Telford abuse victim was raped by 500 men from 11 – but cops chose to prosecute her

Telford abuse victim was raped by 500 men from 11 – but cops chose to prosecute her

Let down by authorities after a seven-year ordeal, Jennifer tells the Sunday Mirror for the first time how it was she who was left with a criminal record. Robbed of her childhood, degraded by hundreds of abusers and betrayed by the authorities she ran to for help. 

The horrifying seven-year ordeal of sex trafficking victim Jennifer today marks a new low in the Telford abuse scandal . Jennifer – not her real name – tells the Sunday Mirror for the first time how she was raped by over 500 men from the age off 11 – yet she is the one left with a criminal record. 

She was gang raped, often in her school uniform, trafficked and held at gunpoint. Her nightmare left her so broken she attempted suicide. At just 16, she feared for her life as one rapist battered her and shoved gravel in her mouth to silence her cries. 

For four years, until she was 19, she fell under the control of a man who hawked her around like a piece of meat. Jennifer claims police refused to intervene and repeatedly arrested her for prostitution from the age of 16 to 19, despite her plea she was being exploited.
