Fact check: Did an 11 year old british girl get arrested for 'Drunk & Disorderly' after being raped and the group perpetrators didn't get arrested?

1. Summary of the results

The exact claim as stated cannot be fully verified, but there are important related incidents that provide context. While there is no direct evidence of an 11-year-old British girl being arrested for being drunk and disorderly specifically after being raped, there is a documented case from the Rotherham child sexual exploitation scandal where a 13-year-old girl was arrested for being drunk and disorderly while found with men at 3am, and the men were not questioned ^[1]. Additionally, there are documented cases of adult women being arrested after reporting their own abuse while their alleged perpetrators weren't arrested ^[2].

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Several important contextual elements need to be considered:

• The Rotherham scandal revealed systematic failures in how authorities handled child sexual exploitation cases ^[1]
• There are recent cases of 11-year-olds being arrested in the UK, but these were related to civil unrest in Middlesbrough, not sexual assault cases ^{[3] [4]}
• Current investigations show ongoing issues with police handling of sexual abuse cases, as evidenced by the cases of Anne and Natalia in Greater Manchester ^[2]
• There are other documented cases of child sexual exploitation, including an online sting operation involving a 55-year-old man ^[5] and a case in Queensland, Australia ^[6]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

The original statement appears to combine elements from different incidents:

• The age ^[7] matches recent arrests in Middlesbrough, but these were riot-related ^[3]
• The drunk and disorderly arrest while perpetrators went free matches the Rotherham case, but involved a 13-year-old, not an 11-year-old ^[1]
• The pattern of arresting victims while not pursuing perpetrators is documented in other cases ^[2]

This kind of narrative often serves to highlight systemic issues in law enforcement's handling of sexual abuse cases, particularly involving minors. While the specific claim as stated cannot be verified, it reflects documented patterns of institutional failures in handling sexual abuse cases in Britain.
