A three month surveillance investigation exposed the abuses of young girls who were living at a children's home in Bradford
A retired senior police officer who discovered a grooming gang network targeting a children’s home in Bradford was told by a charity representative that ‘this is just what goes on.’
After a 3 month surveillance investigation into child sex abuse in the city led by an anti-trafficking charity, John Piekos - a retired detective chief inspector - recorded multiple men waiting in cars for young girls.
Mr Piekos started working for the charity in 2008 after leaving Greater Manchester Police, where he had dealt with exploitation in Oldham.
In an exclusive interview with the people’s channel, he said that he staked out a children’s home with a colleague in Bradford for three months, where he found multiple incidents of grooming and children going missing.
“Sometimes these girls would just be gone for a few hours, but quite often they didn't come back that night or even the next morning,” he said.
GB news has spoken to his work partner from this period who reaffirmed Mr Piekos’s testimony.
Mr Piekos said that his church-funded charity reached out to contacts in the area, including the Bishop of Bradford, to organise a meeting with other charities and police officers where they could share their findings.
