For decades, British journalists have failed catastrophically to investigate and report on the industrial-scale sexual abuse of children in towns and cities across the UK. While victims suffered in silence, newsrooms prioritised political point-scoring, celebrity gossip, and advertiser-friendly content over the systematic destruction of thousands of young lives. Unless your name is Charlie Peters and you're calling for your free beer, forget it.
You will NOT receive direct access to victim submissions, whistleblower testimonies, or identifying information. This is a crime reporting platform, not a newswire service for your content requirements. However, we can provide aggregated statistical data including geographical distribution of reports, temporal patterns, institutional involvement, and thematic analysis that supports legitimate public interest journalism while protecting individual privacy.
Any journalist seeking information must demonstrate understanding of trauma-informed reporting, particularly regarding sexual violence against children. We require evidence of appropriate editorial oversight and compliance with industry guidelines on reporting child abuse.
Stories arising from data which victims have authorised for sharing must not identify them, their locations, or any methods that could compromise ongoing safeguarding processes or police investigations. Editorial standards must meet or exceed IPSO guidelines on reporting involving children and vulnerable adults.
We operate under US First Amendment protections with additional safeguards for journalistic sources. However, UK-based journalists remain subject to domestic legal obligations including the Investigatory Powers Act 2016 and police powers to compel disclosure.
We provide guidance on legal protections for journalists handling sensitive intelligence, including advice on digital security, source protection, and liaison with law enforcement. Material shared with journalists is logged and may be subject to court orders or police disclosure requirements.
Access is only granted where it meets a lawful basis under UK GDPR, including:

All access is logged and may be audited. Breaches can result in access withdrawal, referral to regulators, and potential civil or criminal action under:
