Unthinkable

The UK was shocked to its core in May 2012 when a gang of nine men was convicted of the systematic sexual abuse of disadvantaged teenage girls in the Rochdale area - the crimes including counts of rape, aiding and abetting rape, sexual assault and trafficking girls within the UK for sexual exploitation. Unthinkable reveals how these crimes are just the tip of an iceberg of widescale exploitation occurring across the country and goes behind the headlines to explain how vulnerable girls can be exploited in this way. Kris Hollington tells the inside story of some of the most shocking and heartbreaking crimes of recent years, crimes that have echoes of the brutality of organised slavery. His findings expose how the British justice system is failing to protect children in the 21st century. It is a scandal that cannot be ignored.
