Man, 22, raped by his dealer on island controlled by Liverpool drug gangs

A 22-year-old man was raped by a drug dealer over an unpaid debt on an island controlled by Liverpool drug gangs.

Chief Constable Gary Roberts from the Isle of Man Constabulary has told how drug gangs from Liverpool and Merseyside present the single biggest threat to society on the island. Mr Roberts said the rape of a young man over an unpaid debt was an example of how drug crime had affected life on the island.

The rape of the young man was revealed during a hearing of the Tynwald Court, which is the island's Parliament. Ms Tanya August-Hanson MLC read out a letter from parents whose life had been affected by drug crime.
