Sky News investigated organised sexual abuse in the city and spoke to one young woman who claimed she had recognised an officer who sexually abused her as a child because he was the same man who sometimes picked her up and took her home after she went missing.

"I was kind of like, 'I don't really want to do this'. And he was like, 'It's too late now. I've already told him that you're gonna do it'. And that was the first time that I was sold for money.""At first it was only like once or twice a week that I would have to leave school. And then it got to like every day. It got to the point where I wasn't even making it up to school. He was picking me up at the end of my mum's street.

She said:"I think work mode is different to 'I'm going to rape a child' mode like it was never acknowledged." But numerous alleged crimes against her have been logged by Glasgow police including 29 rapes. There was an investigation but, despite one person being charged, it did not reach court.Toni Louise has now reported the alleged incidents involving police officers and in a statement, Police Scotland said:"A new report of child exploitation involving police officers from 2014 was received by Police Scotland on 9 May 2022.

Twenty years ago the charity Barnardo's first suggested around 100 children were being sold for sex in Glasgow. Over the years concerns have resurfaced especially, around the area of Govanhill. "And this man came out from absolutely nowhere, absolutely nowhere, and said 'she's fine. Is there a problem?' and I said 'no, just wondering if she's well' and he said, 'she's fine.' I said, 'are you with her then?' and he just said, 'yeah I'm her uncle.'"Another alleged victim, speaking anonymously, told Sky News that she was abused from the age of eight, initially by a local shopkeeper.

Male child victims of modern slavery are mostly involved in criminality such as selling drugs, with girls most often sold for sex.
