Charlene Downes (pictured) disappeared on 1 November 2003, when she was just fourteen years old, from her home town of Blackpool.

She was targeted by an Islamist grooming gang who abducted her, subjected her to sexual abuse, murdered her, then minced her body into kebab meat.

Charlene's murder was part of a protracted local Islamist grooming problem in Blackpool, where dozens of underage girls have been targeted, "swapping sex for food, cigarettes and affection".

According to an internal police report, Downes was one of sixty girls in Blackpool, some as young as eleven, who had been groomed by men to carry out sex acts.

What happened to Charlene was horrific, but the only people to have been convicted of any crimes are Charlene's brother and sister, both convicted of "assaulting" the suspects accused of murdering her.

After two failed trials to convict Charlene's murderers, the suspects were released. One of them went on to be convicted of assaulting an eighteen year old girl.

We demand justice for Charlene Downes, regardless of how much time has passed. She was an innocent victim of a grooming gang and deserves to be remembered.

Britain First and the family of Charlene Downes are calling for a public inquiry to look once again at the evidence and the failings by Lancashire Police which allowed a gang of paedophile murderers to walk free.

This is absolutely horrific and should be dealt with

These grooming gangs need to be stopped. They think they are above the law. They are not.
Anthony Garvey 2021-07-03 15:36:15 +0100

Get your act together and bring to justice these grooming gangs. Imprison and then deport. No right to return to the UK.
Kate Condie 2021-07-03 15:36:13 +0100

Difficult to believe this has happened in UK. Police etc should be protecting young people targeted by evil people.

Come on you silent majority, speak out, and say it as it is, we are fast becoming a lawless nation, ruled by mindless minorities.

Utterly despicable spinless justice system white racist through and through. Lock every single on of the bastards up with a pen full of hungry pigs they deserve nothing better

I believe these men received a payout of $250,000 each when they failed to be convicted. There are no words to describe the injustice of this to Charlene’s memory and to her family. Please reopen the case and use up-to—date techniques including forensics to re-try these men.

Charlene Downes has been ignored and forgotten about, give justice to her family NOW.
