The charges relate to two girls, aged in their early to mid-teens at the time of the alleged offences, and are said to have happened between August 2023 and May 2025 in Norwich.

All seven men spoke only to confirm their names when they appeared before magistrates in Norwich earlier.

Police said the men’s immigration status was “refugee”.

Five of the defendants entered the country on small boats, according to the police.

One came to the UK concealed on a lorry and another arrived via a port.

    This thread is about Seven Afghan men charged over child sexual exploitation not the Western elite paedos.

    Having said that, I agree with you. All of them should face punishment - especially our friends across the pond.

    Regarding this thread: these men should never have been here. The girls should never have been abused. Off the top of my head, I don’t even need to look it up, last week another Afghan was arrested for raping a girl in a toilet.

      100% with you there!

      Just making a point that this isnt a place of origin problem. And its a common reform talking point. And theyre a bunch of racist clowns
