Rotherham Abuse: Interviewee Defends Brother and Blames Social Services

Have you ever asked Ash if he had sex

with underage girls?

I have. My father has. All, all my family has.

He is not like that.

All they've created for yourselves and the newspapers

is Ash to be a monster.

He is not a monster.

From your perspective-

Okay

...

what happened in Rotherham?

Well, it's like anything else, to be quite fair with you.

People get accused day in, day out of

allegations getting made. Like, like I said to you before, I, I

can't sit here and call you a prostitute for a

simple reason is that's just an

allegation. I haven't

actually seen you do anything,

and I

also haven't got any proof.

Do you think all 1,400 of those girls were

lying?

No, I didn't say that. Biggest part of problem you have these

days

is these young, young girls that are dressed up, i.e.,

mini skirts, stuff like that, and they're going into the clubs,

and they're ending up going with blokes and stuff like that.

They're waking up next morning, and they scream rape

or groomed.

Some of these girls were just 12, and-

That, that, yeah, that's-

... in children's homes.

Yeah.

I mean, you'd be hard-pushed-

That's it

... to see any of them-

Yeah, yeah

... as 16.

Yeah. I, I agree with you on that

case, but that is really, really, really sick

if girls young as 12 are saying

they're being groomed.

And I can't say if they are being

groomed or they haven't been

groomed, but if

anyone's to blame on that scenario

is the social workers.

If they're gonna accuse somebody, for example, a 12-year-old

girl accused my brother, Arshid, yeah?

Prime example I'll just

give you. If someone's gr- accused him of that,

it's not Arshid to blame. It's the social services to let her out

at a time like that
