"Seventeen men and one woman have been found guilty of involvement in a sex grooming network in Newcastle upon Tyne that plied vulnerable women and girls with drink and drugs before assaulting them." Yes, and I wonder how many of these perverted scumbags 'plied them with drink and drugs' which they paid for by using welfare payments cash given to them courtesy of the British taxpayer? My guess? All of them. Rotherham, now Newcastle . . . where next will it be uncovered? Now we'll have to pay out even more to keep them in the slammer, but at least it'll only be for a few weeks. 'Those whom the gods wish to destroy blah, blah,.' https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2017/aug/09/newcastle-sex-grooming-network-operation-shelter
