West Midlands Police officers are accused of telling an alleged rape gang victim, aged 12, that she was “lying” about her abuse, and told her mother she was “prostituting herself”.
“I was 12 or 13 when I went with my mum to the police to report the first rape. But a female police officer accused me of lying and that just broke me. I went off the rails after that,” said the alleged victim, given the pseudonym ‘Karen’ by BirmingahLive, who was targeted by a so-called grooming gang operating in Walsall.
Her mother told the local media outlet that she would “have to pick her up at the police station after she was found by them, sometimes at hotels” and that officers told her “we think your daughter is prostituting herself”.

A man is facing negligent homicide charges after St. Landry Parish sheriff s deputies say an infant died while in his care.
According to investigators, Nicholas Ducote left his two-year-old and nine-month-old children in a bathtub while he went into another room to fold clothes and play video games. Investigators say Ducote checked on his children a short amount of time later after hearing a splash. That s when, investigators say, Ducote found the nine-month-old unresponsive in the water. Ducote called a relative and emergency services for help, but the child died. The two-year-old was not injured.
The coroner ruled that the nine-month-old died as a result of an accidental drowning. Sheriff Bobby Guidroz says Ducote was criminally negligent while caring for the child, resulting in the charge.
