Kemi Badenoch demands a national inquiry into the UK’s rape gangs, emphasizing the need for justice for victims by 2025
London: Kemi Badenoch is calling for a national inquiry into the UK’s troubling rape gangs scandal. This comes after Elon Musk criticized Sir Keir Starmer over the issue. Badenoch believes it’s high time for victims to see justice.
She took to X, stating that 2025 should be the year victims finally get the justice they deserve. Musk pointed fingers at the Prime Minister, suggesting that during Starmer’s time as Director of Public Prosecutions, young girls were left vulnerable.
Badenoch emphasized that while trials have happened across the country, no one in power has connected the dots. She’s not alone in this; Rupert Lowe from Reform UK also pushed for an inquiry, saying the issue has been ignored for too long.
In her post, Badenoch reiterated the need for a thorough investigation. She’s frustrated that despite numerous trials, the bigger picture hasn’t been addressed. She’s adamant that 2025 must mark a turning point for victims.
Responding to her, Nigel Farage from Reform UK pointed out that the Conservatives had ample time to act while in power. He believes the establishment has failed the victims at every level.
Musk also weighed in, highlighting that serious crimes like rape need the Crown Prosecution Service’s approval for police to charge suspects. He questioned who was in charge when these gangs were allowed to operate unchecked.
Lowe added that the public deserves to know the full extent of the horror and called for transparency from the government. He wants to see how many girls are still caught up in these gangs and a breakdown of those convicted.
The Independent Inquiry into Child Sex Abuse previously described the situation as an epidemic, leaving countless victims in its wake. Led by Professor Alexis Jay, the inquiry looked into organized abuse cases across the UK.
Despite the inquiry’s recommendations, Jay expressed frustration that none have been acted upon. She believes it’s crucial for the public to understand the issue and insists that the government needs to take action without further delay.
The Home Office has yet to respond to these pressing concerns.
