Grooming Gang Survivor Speaks Out As Questions Mount Over Who Looked Away

A survivor of the Pakistani grooming gangs says she was asked to remain silent about her rapist’s race for an interview on the news.

Sammy Woodhouse, a mother who bore a son out of rape at age 15 and an advocate for children of child sexual abuse, was ordered by a producer on “Good Morning Britain” not to mention that her assaulter was a Muslim man of Pakistani heritage. Woodhouse refused to comply — and she says the news program has since apologized to her.

In an exclusive interview on Wednesday with Daily Wire host Michael Knowles, Woodhouse shared her key takeaways from the “Rape Gang Inquiry Report,” a 219-page document released this week exposing crimes carried out in the United Kingdom by Muslim men with “predominantly Pakistani heritage.”

“A minimum of 250,000 children that have been trafficked around the United Kingdom from as early as the 1950s,” Woodhouse said. “Usually from the age of eleven, they’ve been groomed, abused, raped, tortured, trafficked, murdered, criminalized, impregnated, blamed, the authorities turned a blind eye due to race …”

Woodhouse noted that the majority of the perpetrators were Pakistani and Muslim. Children as young as four years old were sold by their mothers, while professionals and officers looked the other way, and some were even directly involved, raping the girls themselves. 

Dogs were also used to rape the young girls, and the children were locked in cages, receiving the “most horrific of torture,” according to Woodhouse.

“I think every single person — not just in the UK, but around the world — needs to read this report because I promise you right now, this is not just a problem for the United Kingdom,” Woodhouse said. 

When asked why Pakistanis and Muslims do this, since it was not a problem before like it is today, Woodhouse said it was because they have “pure hate for non-believers.”

“There is a hate towards non-believers, especially white women or white females. As I said earlier, I think that Islam is a very violent and sexist religion, and when you read the report, you will see some of the things that they were saying to the children, you know, about their race, about the fact that they [weren’t] Muslim; and about their religion because some of the children were Christians.”

Woodhouse said Muslim men read scriptures from the Quran while a girl was raped orally, vaginally, and anally at the same time. The Muslim men would also reportedly say, “Where is your God now,” to victims who wore crosses. Children were also forced to marry these men, and then trafficked outside of the UK, according to Woodhouse. 

“There were even social workers that came and acted as witnesses at these weddings,” Woodhouse added.

Some police officers, she said, were not only involved in covering up these activities, but were willing participants — raping young girls and giving them back to their attackers. 

“There’s never been a professional held to account for the mass rape and torture of children in our country — not one,” Woodhouse noted.

She went on to explain that people remain unaware of these horrors and the victims’ trauma, in part, because they just can’t believe people would commit these atrocities.

“I always say that the biggest challenge of this country is to change the mindsets of people, but you’re not gonna be able to change all those mindsets,” Woodhouse said. “We have damning amounts of evidence now in the public domain … and it’s still not enough for some people.”
