Enjoy your night, lads: UK cop handed abused minor girl back to Pak grooming gang

Detailed summary

Fiona Goddard had been groomed from the age of 14 after running away from a children's home in Bradford in 2008. What began with a group of men approaching her to ask for a lighter eventually turned into years of sexual abuse, trafficking and intimidation.

A 16-year-old girl who had been groomed, raped and abused by a gang of Pakistani men was once returned to the same house she had just been rescued from after mistakenly telling police she was 18. According to the Daily Mail, Fiona Goddard had been groomed from the age of 14 after running away from a children's home in Bradford in 2008.

The teenager was moved between several towns and cities, including Blackburn, Rotherham, Rochdale, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Oldham, as she was exploited by the gang. Two years after the abuse began, police located Goddard at a property in Bradford. What officers found inside, however, was a scene that showed the extent of the danger she was facing.

Seven men of Pakistani heritage were inside the property. Some were reportedly half-dressed, while empty alcohol bottles were scattered around the living room.
