Row escalates over ‘racist’ child sex exploitation ads
A POLICE and crime commissioner branded a petition by sexual violence charities “ridiculous” at the weekend after campaigners raised concerns over alleged racist overtones of a new child sex exploitation awareness poster.
Northamptonshire commissioner Adam Simmonds entered a Twitter spat with the local Rights and Equality Council chief after she shared information on the Scrap the Trivialising and Racist Posters on Child Sexual Exploitation petition.
The petition reached over 100 signatures after being launched last Thursday by anti-racist and women’s groups including Women’s Aid and Rape Crisis.
