Four Women Detail Teenage Rape and Exploitation by County Lines Gang

Four women have come forward to detail their experiences of rape and exploitation as teenagers by a county lines drug gang. Waiving their anonymity, their testimonies form the core of the documentary 'Britain's Forgotten Girls', which examines the systemic targeting of vulnerable children by organised criminal networks.

County Lines Exploitation Exposed

The women recount how, as children, they were groomed and coerced into drug trafficking, with their exploitation extending to severe sexual abuse. Their willingness to speak publicly aims to highlight the pervasive issue of child exploitation within the UK's county lines operations, often overlooked by authorities focused on drug enforcement.

These accounts underscore the urgent need for a more robust and comprehensive approach to safeguarding children and prosecuting the criminal elements that prey on them. The narratives challenge the perception of these children as willing participants, instead framing them as victims of sophisticated and brutal exploitation.
