In this episode of Crime Time Cafe, we dive into the explosive Rape Gang Inquiry Report — the hard-hitting independent investigation published on June 16, 2026, by MP Rupert Lowe and survivor-led by Sammy Woodhouse.

Drawing on victim testimonies, whistleblower accounts, and decades of evidence from scandals like Rotherham and Telford, the 200+ page report exposes the systematic grooming, rape, trafficking, and abuse of thousands of vulnerable girls — mainly white British children — by organized groups, predominantly Pakistani Muslim men. It estimates at least 250,000 victims nationwide since the 1950s (described as a bare minimum), and slams police, councils, social services, and governments for repeated failures driven by fears of "racism" accusations.

This is a story of unimaginable suffering, institutional betrayal, and a long-overdue call for accountability. We break down the key findings, survivor stories, and what comes next. Trigger warning: This episode contains graphic details of child sexual exploitation and abuse. Listener discretion is strongly advised. Tune in for the full report recap and discussion. Justice for the victims starts with the truth.

Grab your coffee and settle in for a chilling deep dive into one of the most notorious chapters in American organized crime. In this episode of Crime Time Cafe, we uncover the dark history of Murder, Inc. — the Mafia’s ruthless, professional hit squad that turned contract killing into a cold-blooded business during the 1930s and early 1940s. Operating as the enforcement arm of the National Crime Syndicate, this multi-ethnic crew of killers — led by figures like Louis “Lepke” Buchalter and Albert “Mad Hatter” Anastasia — carried out hundreds of murders across the country. From ice-pick executions in Brooklyn to nationwide “contracts,” they eliminated rivals, informants, and anyone who crossed the mob. We explore their rise under Lucky Luciano’s vision, the brutal methods that made them legends of the underworld, and the shocking betrayal by insider Abe “Kid Twist” Reles that brought the organization crashing down. Packed with mob lore, courtroom drama, and the gritty reality of Depression-era gangland violence, this episode serves up a strong shot of true crime history with a side of justice. Pour yourself another cup and join us as we step into the lethal world of Murder, Inc.

In this episode of Crime Time Cafe, we step into the glamorous yet shadowy world of high-end art forgery with Elmyr de Hory — the charming Hungarian-born master who fooled galleries, museums, and collectors for decades. Posing as a displaced aristocrat, he cranked out over 1,000 "in the style of" masterpieces by Picasso, Matisse, Modigliani, and more, injecting millions (in today's dollars) worth of fakes into the global art market. We explore the business side: how he built his forgery empire, the dealers who moved his work, the staggering profits, and why many of his pieces may still hang undetected in prestigious collections today. A tale of deception, style, and the ultimate con in the art world.
