Episode 2087: The Richie Allen Show Tuesday June 17th 2025

Richie is joined by Marilyn Hawes and Raja Miah MBE. Baroness Casey's interim report into group-based child sexual exploitation—often referred to as "grooming gangs"—has laid bare  widespread failures across UK institutions to confront this horrific abuse. Authorities frequently avoided recording the ethnicity and nationality of perpetrators, fearing accusations of racism. Two‑thirds of cases lacked any ethnicity data, though local records in areas like Rotherham, Greater Manchester, South and West Yorkshire revealed a disproportionate number of Asian‑background men were responsible.

To discuss this, Richie is joined by two tireless - and fearless - campaigners for justice for the victims of these rape gangs. 

Former teacher Marilyn Hawes works around the clock to educate children, parents and educators to recognise the patterns of grooming.

Raja Miah MBE is a a long-standing campaigner and whistle-blower who’s been at the forefront of exposing grooming gang scandals, particularly in his hometown of Oldham. Six years ago, Raja blew the whistle on how senior Labour party figures in Oldham knew about gangs and covered it up.
