In the small hours of the morning, retired police detective Jon Wedger is on the streets of Tottenham in northeast London to prove gangs are grooming girls for sex in the capital.
“I worked in the Met Police’s vice squad for years, and I’ve never seen so many in one area,” he says. “That’s where the three young girls are.” Wedger confirms that a Somalian girl aged 12 is “working” alongside two English girls aged 15 and 16.
The former officer, who left the Met in 2017 after 25 years, has joined forces with a documentary crew from IBB Media to show the public that child prostitution is happening in plain sight on London’s streets.
