Judge Gerald Clifton: Condemned the gang while dismissing allegations of racism against themJudge Gerald Clifton: Condemned the gang while dismissing allegations of racism against them

A judge today said nine men preyed on white girls as young as 13 for sex ‘because they were not part of your community or religion’ as he jailed them for a total of 77 years.

The men, all but one originally from Pakistan, were sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court after they were convicted of luring up to 47 girls into sex with drink, drugs, fast food and free taxi rides over a number of years.

One girl was subjected to a horrific ordeal when she was raped by 20 men in a single night.

Opening his sentencing remarks, Judge Gerald Clifton said: ‘All of you treated (the victims) as though they were worthless and beyond respect.

‘One of the factors leading to that was the fact that they were not part of your community or religion.

‘Some of you, when arrested, said it was triggered by race. That is nonsense. What triggered this prosecution was your lust and greed.’

The hearing took place amid tight security with police standing guard in the courtroom and around the building amid fears of a large demonstration or disruption by far-Right groups.

  1. Was Gerald Clifton elected or appointed Judge?

    If appointed, can this MP pose a threat to this judge’s career?

    via UK “The Telegraph :

    Leading MP Keith Vaz has insisted the case of an Asian paedophile gang that exploited dozens of vulnerable white teenagers is not a “race issue” .

    “Mr Vaz, chairman of the Commons home affairs committee, said the “appalling” offences of the kind carried out by the gang needed to be looked into but it was important not to “stigmatise a whole community”.

    Interesting double standard Vaz takes there. Islamic doctrine is replet with stigmatization/denigration of entire communities, yet he sees no problem with Islam.

  2. They were driven by more then greed and lust, since they preyed only on one race they were driven by racism.
