MAPPED: The 13 trafficking routes used by grooming gangs to smuggle helpless victims - is YOUR area included?

We have pinpointed where girls as young as 11 were ensnared and smuggled to their destination by men of predominantly Pakistani heritage.

Some trafficking reports have been made direct to GB News by sources directly involved in them, including survivors and those tasked with supporting them.

It follows our previous investigation, which revealed at least 50 towns and cities rocked by sadistic grooming abuses.

The scale of the offending has only resulted in 500 convictions since 2007.

As the map above shows, the longest journey undertaken was by Amos O’Cheng, who trafficked a drugged survivor 279.4 miles from Brighton to Preston.

In 2021, the then-51-year-old of Winckley Square, Preston, was found guilty of three counts of facilitating the travel of someone for exploitation, three of raping girls, two of raping a woman, and four of supplying drugs to them.

He is currently serving a 24-year sentence.

The second-longest journey was undertaken by Hedar Ali of Bradford. In 2019, he was jailed for 25 years after being found guilty of two counts of rape and two counts of trafficking for sexual exploitation

Ali’s victims recount being trafficked from Calderdale to Bradford (7.7 miles), Leeds (17.4 miles), Manchester (33.7 miles), and London (204.9 miles).

Another survivor recounted to GB News that they were trafficked from Rotherham to Bristol - a distance of 176 miles.

Arshid Hussain, ringleader of a grooming gang who raped and abused teenage girls in Rotherham, dragged a survivor in the boot of his car and drove to London from Rotherham (163.5 miles), where she was used to pay off his debts to three men.

He also trafficked a victim to Doncaster - covering a distance of 18.7 miles - where she was forced to work as a prostitute.

Abdul Hammed, Surin Uddin, Hamza Ali, and Mohamed Sheikh drove a survivor from her house in London to a rented house in Ipswich (82 miles) where she was repeatedly raped for four days.

The first full national dossier of the grooming gangs scandal also includes a comprehensive timeline of the grooming gang abuses, dating back to August 2007, when at least two men were convicted of the sexual abuse of a girl while she was living in a children's home. Some of those convicted were deported to Pakistan in 2011.

Commenting on the exposé, Shadow Justice Minister Robert Jenrick said: "This crucial research helps to uncover the full horror of the rape gangs. It shows the sheer scale of the rape gangs and just how evil their crimes were.

"Politicians are either supportive of a full national inquiry, with the power to get answers and accountability for the victims, or they are part of the cover-up.

"Every single individual involved in these gangs must be prosecuted and, if they are foreign nationals, also deported. No ifs, no buts."

The report comes ahead of the government's “rapid audit” conducted by Baroness Louise Casey to assess the scale of the crisis.

The government originally committed to releasing the report, which will look at cultural and factors relating to ethnicity, within three months, but it was pushed into May.

Our report comes amid calls for the leader of the House of Commons to resign after she appeared to dismiss concerns over the grooming gangs scandal as “dog whistle” politics.
