BRITAIN: Child grooming gang jailed for a total of 78 years received £435k in legal aid
A grooming gang which inflicted a two-year rape ordeal on a girl received £435,643 in legal aid.
Eight paedophiles drove the drugged teen to parks, flats and isolated spots where they raped her from the age of 14.
The gang was found guilty on 23 counts of rape and jail terms totalling 78 years have so far been handed out.
But the cost of convicting them has triggered outrage.
David Spencer, from the Centre of Crime Prevention, said: “It is staggering that anyone would think that this is the best use of nearly half a million pounds of taxpayers money.
