Transcripts
Crucial information about Asian grooming gang exploitation is currently hidden from victims, researchers, and the public. This actively blocks wider understanding and prevents meaningful reform, perpetuating the cycle of failing vulnerable victims.
Victims deserve protection, not barriers. Yet vital information about grooming gang crimes and system failures sits locked behind paywalls and red tape. A transcript for a court sitting as short as 45 minutes can cost over £200.
We're working to obtain and release official court transcripts from as many landmark grooming gang cases as possible, exposing the patterns of past failures to prevent future ones.
Latest Updates
We're navigating complex court systems to request these transcripts learning and documenting the process as we go while developing victim-centered ways to share them.
As often as possible we'll keep you updated on our progress and what we learn about our legal system's barriers to access via email, this website, and X.
