Any conviction of historical abuse must be seen as a success. But tonight we can reveal that police knew some of what was happening in Barrow as far back as 2009. It has taken 15 years for some of the abused girls to get justice. <\/p>\n<p>Our report focuses on one young woman, Ellie Reynolds. She identified one of the brothers to police as her alleged abuser six years ago but her case never got to court. Instead, the authorities tried to prosecute her. She has taken the extraordinary step of waiving her right to anonymity to tell us what happened. <\/p>\n<p>Barrow is a town which went to war with itself &#8211; after another girl&#8217;s claims of abuse at the hands of an Asian grooming gang turned out to be lies. <\/p>\n<p>For Ellie Reynolds, the legal process has kept her silent until now, when, for the first time, we can tell her story of justice denied. <\/p>\n<p>Warning &#8211; this report contains descriptions of rape and sexual assault which some may find distressing.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been affected by anything in this report, please go to https:\/\/www.channel4.com\/support <\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br \/>\nFollow us:<br \/>\nFacebook &#8211; https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Channel4News\/<br \/>\nTwitter &#8211; https:\/\/twitter.com\/Channel4News<br \/>\nTikTok &#8211; https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@c4news<br \/>\nInstagram &#8211; https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/channel4news\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a story about the grooming, rape and abuse of children in Barrow, Cumbria.
