CULTURAL ENRICHMENT: UK: Shocking hotel footage captures moment girl aged 13 is lured into room to be raped by paedophile.

Supt Matt Fenwick said: “She has properly been groomed and she believes they love her. We know she is a victim, but she doesn’t know she is a victim. She is definitely not in victim mode.

He said paedophile targets like her “find it an exciting thing to do. They are mixing with older men. They perceive they are having a good time.

And when you’re interviewing her, she’s protecting these people. She doesn’t want to get into trouble”. He said she insisted she had not slept with any men.

His words strike at the heart of the Rotherham abuse scandal in which 1,400 children were groomed and abused by Asian gangs over 16 years.

And Rotherham is where the 13-year-old’s nightmare began after she ran away from her home in Sheffield.

Schools are being told that children should be able to have consensual sex at the age of 13 as part of government-backed guidance, it emerged today.

The guidelines – which can be used as part of sex education lessons – say that having sexual relationships when children reach their teens represents a “safe and healthy” part of growing up.

They have been produced by a national charity as part of a plan endorsed by the Department for Education to improve standards of advice given to pupils.
