A suspected sex trafficking ring in which girls as young as 11 were allegedly targeted was far larger than previously feared, according to police.

As many as 50 young girls have come forward claiming to have been sold for sex in Oxford, detective confirmed today.

It was originally thought that 24 girls, aged between 11 and 16 years, were the only victims but more youngsters have since contacted the police alleging they were also victims.

Oxford police commander, Acting Superintendent Chris Sharp, said more ‘potential victims’ had come forward as a result of the publicity the case had received.

 

 

A total of 13 men were arrested when more than 100 police swooped in the raids across Oxford, codenamed Operation Bullfinch.

A group of six Asian men – including two sets of brothers – have been charged by police in connection with allegedly running the sex trafficking ring in the university city known for its dreaming spires.

Since the initial dawn raids last month, officers had made a further two arrests as part of the probe, a police spokesman said.

A 39-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman were detained on suspicion of ‘grooming’ this week.

The man has been freed on police bail to return to a police station in May, pending further inquiries and the woman was released without charge.

Police arrested 13 men in raids across Oxford on Thursday, March 22, after investigating the suspected ring since May last year.

  1. “Asians” my ass, middle eastern muslims is the accurate description. Authorities and media should stop insulting Asians (Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese etc).

    It is fortunate this has occured in England. If this crime was uncovered in a muslim country the children would be arrested as adulterers and stoned to death under Sharia law… I think reverse Sharia law should apply in this case and the men should be beheaded…

    If this happend in a muslim shit hole then the cops would have refused to investigate it at all or would have otherwise directly assisted their fellow muslim rapists.

    It’s what happens in pakiland all the time when hindu and christian girls are kidnapped and raped. The rapists target hindu and christian girls because they know the police will side with whoever is muslim.

  3. Where the hell are the Woman’s groups and the Feminists?

    This form of rape is growing and becoming bolder, there for, England has to become tougher on these type of crimes.
    1.) Freeze bank accounts.
    2.) Take their passports-all of them.
    3.) Seize all monies and property obtained during this time.
    4.) No benefits.
    5.) Sentence to jail then deport.

  4. Yes you are right in most of the cases I reckon Truthiocity, however I remember the case of one girl two years I ago I think in either Somalia or the Sudan who was just 13. She was gang raped and when she reported it to the authorities she was was arrested for adultery, taken to a sports gorund, burried up to her chest and then stoned to death in front of a crowd of more than 2,000 men. Isn’t Islam wonderful in its justice and mercy….
