Police let neo-Nazi who radicalised teenager leave the country
British police allowed a convicted American neo-Nazi to leave the UK after grooming and radicalising the youngest girl in Britain charged with terror offences.
Dax Mallaburn, who was known to police and social services for having encouraged Rhianan Rudd to look at violent material, was stopped and questioned by counter-terrorism officers at Heathrow.
Despite already being suspected of radicalising and engaging in 'inappropriate behaviour' with the teenager he was allowed to board a flight to the US, from where he travelled on to Mexico.
Mallaburn left Britain in October 2020, shortly before police arrested the teenager and later charged her with downloading a bomb-making manual online.
The case was delayed before the charges were eventually dropped following an intervention by the Home Office, which concluded she had been a victim of trafficking who had been groomed and sexually exploited.
Five months after the charges against her were dropped, Rhianan was found dead by her carer at Bluebell House, near Newark, Nottinghamshire, on 19 May 2022, aged 16.
The revelations about Mallaburn's movements come as a coroner prepares to hand down her findings into the teenager's death on Monday, following a three-week inquest.
Chief coroner Judge Alexia Durran's findings are likely to examine the role of counter-terror police, MI5 and social services in the events that led to Rhianan's death.
The decision to allow Mallaburn to leave the UK without any further action being taken over his role in radicalising Rhianan has raised questions about possible failings by the authorities.
Chesterfield Coroners Court heard that Rhianan began to show disturbing signs of far-Right radicalisation after being groomed by Mallaburn when he moved into the family home with her mother, Emily Carter, in 2017.
The inquest heard that Mallaburn, who had multiple tattoos of swastikas, had served time in a US prison for possession of weapons and met Ms Carter through a pen-pal scheme for inmates.
He was also found by a US Supreme Court ruling to be a member of the neo-Nazi group the Arizona Aryan Brotherhood.
Derbyshire County Council social workers, who were already involved with Rhianan's care, became concerned that she was being groomed by Mallaburn after he moved into her home in Bolsover.
Rhianan complained to them in 2019 that the American had touched her sexually. She had just turned 14. But when police visited the girl at her home she retracted the allegations.
The inquest heard that behind closed doors, Mallaburn was teaching the troubled teenager his version of the Second World War. In the days before she took her own life, Rhianan would tell a counter-terrorism official that Mallaburn had explained to her 'what really happened', describing her mother's partner as a 'literal Nazi'.
The inquest was told that Mallaburn's influence on Rhianan was 'not known' to her mother.
Counter-terrorism police began investigating Rhianan in September 2020 after Ms Carter reported her concerns to Prevent, the anti-radicalisation programme, 'over her concerns about Rhianan's obsession with far-Right material, explaining how she went from an interest in the two world wars to admiring Hitler'.
Carter wrote in a letter to counter-terrorism police: 'I need help with my 15-year-old daughter. She has a very unhealthy outlook on fascism – she also has massive dislikes for certain races and creeds.'
The inquest was told that during his time living with Ms Carter and Rhianan, Mallaburn had put the teenager in contact with another US white supremacist, named Chris Cook, who supplied her with instructions for making homemade bombs and weapons.
A child protection team from Derbyshire County Council found that both Mallaburn and Cook 'had encouraged Rhianan to look at violent material'.
Counter-terrorism police passed their 'suspicion of radicalisation' of Rhianan by Mallaburn on to MI5.
When the American neo-Nazi left Chesterfield and headed to Heathrow Airport on 7 October 2020 he was stopped by counter-terror police and interviewed before being allowed to board his flight.
Rhianan was arrested by East Midlands counter-terror police two weeks later, on 21 October.
A family friend called Ann, who had been helping Ms Carter look after Rhianan, had by now already begun an affair with Mallaburn and later travelled to Mexico to be with him.
Ann, who met Rhianan through the local Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, went on to take the former convict's name when she joined him in the resort of Cancun.
She acknowledged Mallaburn's far-Right links, but insisted he was no longer involved, telling The Telegraph: 'Dax has never been charged with any race crime. He was interviewed by the FBI about Rhianan and her online relationship with a man in Ohio.
'Dax returned to the USA on October 7 2020, however not before being interviewed at Heathrow by anti-terror and by Homeland Security in the USA about, not Rhianan, but her online 'boyfriend' in Ohio.'
Whitehall sources said the Home Office had ' robust safeguards in place to ensure that those who intend to sow hatred and division can be refused entry to our country – and make no apology for this. The decision to prevent someone leaving the country is a police decision. They make the call on whether it is possible and appropriate to confiscate an individual's passport to prevent their departure.'
The sources added: 'Our first duty is to keep the country safe and we have long been clear we will use all the powers at our disposal to do so.'

Furious locals demand action after their beautiful beach is 'taken over by gay nudist men having sex in public'
Furious locals claim a nearby beach has been taken over by gay nudist men having sex in public. Residents of the pretty village of Corton near Lowestoft, Suffolk are demanding an end to what they describe as a growing phenomenon in the area. They suggest men are travelling to the picturesque sands to engage in sexual activities. Local Labour MP Jess Asato has joined residents in a walk along the beach in protest against the trend. She said: 'Residents are fed up with their beach being made a no-go area due to criminal sexual behaviour. 'Our walk was a symbol of their efforts to ensure that no-one is feels afraid to use it - and send a signal that we will not tolerate what amounts to criminal acts.' One local, a retired newspaper executive, said: 'It's no longer safe to take children there to play on their beach. 'It started about three years ago and has got worse every year since since - I was with my two and three-year-old grandchildren last summer and there were naked men deliberately showing off and flaunting themselves. Residents of the pretty village of Corton near Lowestoft, Suffolk are demanding an end to what they describe as a growing phenomenon in the area 'It is so offensive that we can no longer take our grandchildren to play on the beach. 'Unfortunately the beach is now getting a reputation - and becoming famous - so the problem will only get worse. 'Apart from the holidaymakers here there are people who live her all the time and now in the summer they can't go down to the sea.' The Azure Seas village, which has more than 100 holiday and permanent cabins and homes which cost up to £200,000, overlooks the beach and has its own direct access to the sea. Sales manager Duncan Gooch said: 'It's got nothing to do with nudity whatsoever - it is the behaviour of some of the men who go there, a group who think it is okay to indulge in lewd and sexual behaviour on the beach, openly in front of other people. 'It is blatant and deliberate - some men are clearly exhibitionists and we take offence - as does everyone living or staying here - at their behaviour. 'Things have got worse over recent so year and are now so bad that a lot of people simply won't go onto the beach because it is full of naked exhibitionists parading up and down and having sex. 'We have complained to the police and they say they will look into it. 'But they told us there was nothing we could do about it. Callers who complain are simply give a reference number. 'We have 100 holiday and permanent homes here but this perverted sexual activity - which goes on from dawn until after dusk - is not what they want to see.' In a bid to curb the trend, a notice warning against it was erected by the beach. It has since been taken down. The sign read: 'Corton Beach is not a naturist beach. 'Lewd behaviour will not be tolerated and may be recorded by CCTV and reported to the police. 'Causing an offence to others is a criminal offence and all cases will be reported form prosecution. By order of Corton Parish Council.' The local authority said it put up the sign following a string of complaints from resident. A council spokesman said: 'Businesses overlooking the beach have also been severely impacted, reporting substantial financial losses directly attributed to these behaviours. 'The parish council is obligated to support and protect the parishioners and businesses. 'Our stance remains unchanged - we recognise that nudism is a legal activity and our sign was a warning to individuals whose lewd activities were causing distress to other beach-goers.' District councillor Paul Ashdown said: 'Most people are aware that sunbathing in the nude on the beach is not illegal but residents have witnessed lewd behaviour which is offensive and should not be conducted in a public space.' MailOnline has approached Suffolk Police for comment.

EXCLUSIVE Residents' fury after wealthy neighbour extends his 'horrific' £1million 'American-style McMansion' without planning permission sparking 'war for the ages'
Civil war has erupted on a leafy street over a 'horrific' extension on a £1million property which neighbours claim they knew nothing about until it was finished. Locals claim the new property is in breach of planning rules and looks like a ' Los Angeles McMansion'. The row has kicked off in the peaceful village of Stoke Poges in Buckinghamshire, where locals are 'gearing up' for a 'planning battle'. Councillors on Stoke Poges Parish Council and locals have accused owner Jag Bahia of breaching planning permission granted for his extension works on the property. The property's extended garage and roof, as well as altered window layouts, all deviate from the original plans approved by Buckinghamshire Council. Nearby residents agreed with the parish council's objection that the finished works are not in keeping with the traditional English character of the area - with one neighbour saying it was like living across the road from an American mansion. Tracey Harvey, who has lived on the road for 22 years, said: 'It's just shocking to look at. It would look good in Hollywood - not here. 'We are crying out for houses and yet people aren't allowed to build. But they get away with it - it's a joke.' LOST IN TRANSLATION: Before and after plans reveal huge scale of development which neighbours say happened behind their backs LOST IN TRANSLATION: Before and after plans reveal huge scale of development which neighbours say happened behind their backs Tracey's husband Frank, 88, said: 'We're a bit down about it all. It's what people do - they chance it. It's what's going on all over this world - I don't get it.' A resident nearby said the finished works left the house too large for its plot - and strict repercussions should be carried out for any planning breaches. She said: 'Everyone thinks it's oversized for the plot. I feel sorry for the neighbours. I think it's way too big for where it is. It's horrific. She said: 'If they fine them, they should make it more than £20,000. It would send a message. There should be repercussions. 'Rule are there for a reason. Why should one person get away with it? It seems it's about how much money you can throw at it.' One nearby resident, who asked not to be named, said they had made dozens of reports to the Environment Agency due to builders burning material in the property's garden during the works - but there was no indication that the issue was followed-up. They said: 'It's a shame that we have got a situation where rather than the local authority enforcing the rules that make everything work, they put us in a position where they pit neighbour versus neighbour. Who doesn't want to get on with people?' Julie Devonald, 50, who has lived on Gerrards Cross Road for 33 years, said: 'Some people are very cheeky. You give them an inch and they then take a mile. 'Just because you have done it, it doesn't mean you can get away with it.' Another resident said: 'We're all gearing up for a planning battle.' Online records indicate that the property was sold for £1,225,000 in 2020. The parish council has called in the application for a decision by Buckinghamshire Council's East and South Area Planning Committee. In its objection, the parish council argued that the proposed changes result in an inappropriate development due to substantial alterations. They add that the development would harm both the character and setting of the area, representing an overdevelopment of the site with an unsuitable design. The planning committee will meet on Tuesday, June 10, to decide on the application. Councilor Saera Carter said the parish council had to employ an outside expert to 'unpick' the planning application and works. She said: 'The parish council employed for the first time ever a consultant to unpick this mess. We kept looking at it saying, "this doesn't make sense, this doesn't make sense".'

EXCLUSIVE A teen lottery winner, a vodka boss and Glasgow's Carmela Soprano: Meet the gangsters' molls embroiled in Britain's deadliest gang war
A former teenage lottery winner, a vodka boss and Glasgow's real-life Carmela Soprano are some of the gangster's molls embroiled in a deadly war on Britain's streets. Blood is being spilt as four clans fight over the alleged theft of £500k of cocaine from Ross 'Miami' McGill, a top-level Irish criminal based in Dubai also known as Mr Big. McGill, an ex-Rangers FC hooligan, blames two of Britain's most feared crime families - the Richardsons from Edinburgh and their Glasgow allies, the Daniels. He is backed by their enemies the Lyons gang, also from Glasgow and associates of the infamous Irish Kinahan Cartel. Last week the violence saw senior Lyons figures Eddie Lyons Jnr, 46, and Ross Monaghan, 43, shot dead by a masked hitman as they watched the Champions League final at an Irish bar on the Costa del Sol. But while the kingpins send out their armies on Britain and Spain 's streets, their wives and girlfriends are enjoying the trappings of a luxury lifestyle with mansions, Rolls-Royces and holiday villas. The main allure of this lifestyle is danger and power, the partner of a reformed Scottish gangster told MailOnline. She said: 'Someone who takes the lead and takes charge is attractive and sometimes that bad boy image makes you feel safe and makes you feel more feminine. 'Danger is a bit sexy too, like having sex in a balaclava.' The moll added: 'That goes back to dominance or an authority thing. I like a guy to be in charge and be in authority. For some women it's a protective thing that means they'll look after you. 'A lot of guys want a girl on their arms as part of a show tactic. They don't want to walk down the street with someone the size of a house. The guys want the best of birds because they've got it all and they can probably take their pick. 'Some of the uglier guys don't get glamorous girls unless they've got money or something, so it definitely helps them to look and feel good. They've got all the best designer gear too and the fancy watches and the whole family benefits and is respected better. 'They are famous in their own area like a film star. If you've made the money then you feel like you can get anything you want anyway, including a dolly bird on your arm. 'It's part of the package. Who wouldn't want a sexy girl by their side?' MailOnline has delved into five of the most glamorous Scottish gangsters' molls - each with their own experiences of love, loss and brushes with crime. From a four-way love war to 'fronting a vodka business for one of the most feared gangs in the world', these are the women behind the men who bring violence to the streets of Britain and beyond... Olivia Newall One of the most secretive molls is Olivia Newall, the girlfriend of Ross 'Miami' McGill, who is said to have started this deadly gang war. Newall has locked her social media profiles and there are few images of her online — perhaps in a bid to fly under the radar. Her cousin Lloyd Cross is the right hand man of Jamie 'Iceman' Stevenson and both men were jailed last year for their part in a £100m cocaine smuggling plot. Cross grew up less than a mile away from McGill in Glasgow and the two are known to be close friends. Like McGill, Newall's cousin was a Union Bear - a Rangers FC hooligan group. Yet although her family have had brushed with the law, Newall seems to be living the high life in Dubai with mob boss boyfriend 'Miami'. After achieving a higher national diploma in dental nursing from New College Lanarkshire, she is believed to have moved to the resort town of Estepona on the Costa del Sol, near Malaga. While there, she was pictured with her boyfriend McGill. These days the pair are understood to be living in Dubai. And despite keeping a low profile online, MailOnline has discovered the moll still jets around the world rubbing shoulders with the rich and famous. In January, she was a bridesmaid at the wedding of former Premier League footballer John Fleck. She attended alongside her cousin Jilly Isabella Cross, a fashion influencer with 200,000 followers on Instagram. But despite her life in the sun 4,000 miles from Glasgow, her association with 'Miami' has come back to bite her. Just last week on May 28, her father's black cab was torched outside the Newall family home. Two days later, Eddie Lyons Jnr and Ross Monaghan were killed in Spain a few hours' drive from her old home. Nicola Cassells Nicola Cassells is believed to be one of the most connected molls in the Scottish underworld. First of all, she is the ex-girlfriend of John Bonner, a gangster who drove notorious Daniels enforcer Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll to an Asda car park where he was murdered in 2010 in what is one of the most infamous gangland hits in living memory. However, the mother-of-three has also allegedly slept with kingpin Steven 'Bonzo' Daniel, who was left with horrific scars after being chased down and slashed with a meat cleaver. More than that, she has also reportedly had a fling with David Togher of the Richardson gang. Speaking to MailOnline, a reformed gangster said: 'Everybody likes a bad boy, especially those who look like one. Birds don't always go for the pretty boys. 'They like the big fancy motors and the money coming in and like people to know they are going with someone important. Cassells is the ex-girlfriend of John Bonner, a gangster who drove Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll to an Asda car park where he was murdered in 2010 'Being the wife or girlfriend of an associate is just part of the culture here in the schemes. They are involved in the drugs war but that's just their business. 'They fight over their territory like anyone protecting their business. They just get their pals to work for them. 'These guys will meet someone of his own type who is streetwise. He'll always go for the nicest one in the scheme and will marry the most glamorous girl there. 'They all grow up together in the council schemes and work their way up to be lieutenants and associates. 'The girls love it cause they have a better lifestyle and they don't get too involved. 'They usually end up with tanning shops, hairdressing shops or beauty shops as a front though.' Nicola Morrissey Vodka boss Nicola Morrissey, 49, is the moll of 'Johnny Cash' Morrissey. 'Johnny Cash', so called because of his propensity to carry large wads of banknotes with him, is a mobster from the Kinahan cartel, a leading Irish organised crime group with ties to the Lyons in Glasgow. Johnny and his wife share a property empire while enjoying their Nero premium vodka business in the Costa Del Sol. Conservative MP and former crime journalist Russell Findlay, who was targeted in an acid attack by the gangs, told the Scottish Parliament in 2022: 'One Kinahan gang member who has been sanctioned [by US authorities in 2022] is John Morrissey, along with his Glasgow-based vodka company, Nero Drinks. 'The Kinahans are not interested in flogging vodka — their real business is cocaine and heroin. He and his wife share a property empire while enjoying their Nero premium vodka business in the Costa Del Sol. Father-of-two 'Johnny Cash' was arrested in 2022 on suspicion of money laundering 'It is widely known that the cartel is in partnership with Scotland's Lyons gang, making vast profits from killing Scots.' The US Treasury Department said Nero Drinks has been on its radar. A spokesperson said: 'John Morrissey controls and operates Nero Drinks through his wife, the primary shareholder, who is used as a frontperson for his interests.' Father-of-two 'Johnny Cash' was arrested in 2022 on suspicion of money laundering. Nicola was also arrested and bailed as part of the same probe. A raid of their home revealed luxury paintings and wads of cash, while Nicola's interview with Marbella magazine Exclusive Life revealed the true extent of their wealth. The glamorous WAG showed off her pearly whites as she posed beside a £350,000 Rolls-Royce Dawn in a long scarlet dress. In another photo she seemed to be wearing a diamond necklace as she stood in a plunging black dress next to a bottle of vodka and a plush dinner table beneath a chandelier. Kelly Bo Green Kelly Bo Green is the daughter of the late Daniel godfather Jamie Daniel, who died in 2016 from cancer. She was also the girlfriend of infamous Daniels enforcer Kevin 'Gerbil' Carroll until his murder aged 29 in 2010 - a crime that Lyons gangster Billy 'Buff' Paterson, 45, was jailed for life over. Kelly Bo avoided jail herself in 2017 for shoplifting £800 of clothes from H&M shop. She is believed to be part of the same shoplifting gang that her aunt Annette Daniel, 63, is in. Annette has 22 convictions for shoplifting and has spent time in jail for theft. Kelly Bo and Gerbil's £217,000 home near Glasgow was seized after his death, forcing her to move out but just last month, her new home in Glasgow was set alight by McGill enforcers Tamo Junto (TMJ) as part of the ongoing gang war. Despite being part of the Daniel family, she remains most well known for her relationship with 'Gerbil'. As previously mentioned, his murder in 2010 was one of the most shocking underworld crimes in Scotland's history. He was famed for his 'alien abductions', in which rival gangsters were kidnapping, torturing and left half naked on the street, too scared or traumatised to reveal what happened. He built up a long list of enemies - so long in fact that when he was finally killed, the police noted down more than 100 potential suspects. By the time he was finally killed, he had already survived at least three previous assassination attempts. His decision to vandalise the gravestone of the late Eddie Lyons Jnr's brother Garry, who passed away aged eight from leukemia, is thought to be the reason why he was killed. On January 13, 2010, the 29-year-old father-of-two was driven to an Asda car park in Robroyston suburb of Glasgow by John Bonner, who's ex-girlfriend is serial gangster's moll Nicola Cassells. There, he was murdered in the 'most vicious and brutal' way, the judge in his murder trial said. Judge Lord Armstrong added: 'It was not a spontaneous event which happened on the spur of the moment, it was in effect an execution.' Bonner said at the trial that while trying to escape he accidentally pressed lock on the car's doors, trapping 'Gerbil' inside. Two masked gunmen carrying a Ruger .357 magnum revolver and Beretta 92F semi-automatic pistol shot 13 bullets in 25 seconds at 'Gerbil' as he sat in the back of dead his girlfriend's black Audi A3. Since the shooting, Carroll's girlfriend Kelly Bo Green, who is the daughter of the late crime boss Jamie Daniel, has continued to live surrounded by her own gangster family. She has at least two sons by 'Gerbil', who are now thought to be aged 21 and 16, as well as another child. Although images of the gangster's moll are rare, she was pictured at 'Gerbil's' funeral in tinted sunglasses and a black fur jacket. She told mourners at the time: 'He was a lover, a friend, he was my everything.' Caroline Stevenson Notorious crime boss Jamie 'Iceman' Stevenson, who has been dubbed the Scottish Tony Soprano, was jailed for 20 years in 2024 over a plot to import £100m cocaine disguised as bananas. The 59-year-old was finally brought to justice after a five-year police operation involving bananas from South America sent to a Glasgow fruit market, a Kent drugs factory and an Amsterdam brothel. His wife Caroline, 66, enjoys the pampered life of a mob spouse like Carmela Soprano from the hit HBO series and also runs a ice cream parlour in the Possilpark area of Glasgow. Caroline's social media is awash with images of her in designer clothes, flaunting her wealth. While her husband was on trial, she reportedly posted an image of a banana with the words 'bananas can put a smile on your face' and a caption of five laughing face emojis. Stevenson pleaded guilty mid-trial at the High Court in Glasgow in August to two charges - directing a serious criminal offence of importation of cocaine, and being involved in organised crime through production and supply of etizolam, known as street valium. The gangster and five of his associates are now behind bars for a total of 49 years after being snared as part of the joint Police Scotland and National Crime Agency probe, Operation Pepperoni. While her husband was on trial, Caroline reportedly posted an image of a banana with the words 'bananas can put a smile on your face' and a caption of five laughing face emojis The cocaine Stevenson tried to import was hidden in boxes of bananas bound for a fruit market in Glasgow Stevenson's gang had tried to import almost a tonne of cocaine, valued at roughly £100m Pictured are the crates of bananas stacked one on top of the other after being seized Jane Park Jane Park, 30, is most famous for being the UK's youngest Euromillions winner when she won £1million aged 17 in 2013 on a lucky-dip ticket. Since then, she appears to have had a colourful life - including being part of a gangland love war between two gangsters and a fellow moll. Park used to date Richardson mobster David Togher, who previously is thought to have slept with Nicola Cassells. However, Togher is believed to have cheated on Park with his friend Marc Webley's girlfriend Jodie Steele. Webley was also part of the Richardson crew and was jailed for 11 years in 2005 aged 19 for attempted murder after what was described as a failed gangland hit. After Togher was spotted with Steele, Euromillions winner Park started dating Webley, completing the partner swap between the two gangsters. Outside of her relationships with the two gangsters, Park's life has been an array of modelling gigs, motherhood and botched plastic surgery operations. When the former chip shop worker won the lottery in 2013, she vowed to spend it on a customised white Range Rover, a season ticket for her beloved Hibernian and a holiday in Ibiza with her friends. Yet shortly after bagging the fortune, she spent £4,500 on breast implants that took her from a 34B to a 36FF.

Two years later she revealed she was making money by selling racy topless pictures of herself on subscription site OnlyFans. Then in 2023 she told her 222,000 Instagram followers she had flown to Turkey for a second boob job and a round of liposuction. It was in the same year that her relationship with Richardson gangster Marc Webley came to an end when he was shot dead outside an Edinburgh pub on New Year's Eve. Webley had previously taunted his enemies in videos posted to social media, telling them: 'Come and get it... Still at the pub. Wee bit drunk so you'd be at an advantage.' She previously made headlines aged just 17 when she won £1million in the EuroMillions Millionaire Raffle in 2013 Park said she was 'absolutely devastated' by his death. In an Instagram story, she wrote: 'If I could cuddle you again and tell you everything is going to be OK I would give anything to do it Marc. 'The months we spent together taught me some valuable things in life and I'll never forget you. I am absolutely devastated. 'The best bed for you is up there my handsome [love heart emoji].' Jodie Steele Jane Park's former love rival is Jodie Steele, 41, from Edinburgh, who is also the mother of Richardson mobster Marc Webley's two sons. She was reportedly in a relationship with the attempted murderer for around 15 years. But while Webley was in jail, she is thought to have cheated on him with fellow Richardson gangster David Togher, who is currently her partner. Togher was himself only released from prison in 2023 after serving a six-year jail sentence for slashing the face of alleged heroin kingpin Sean 'Lugs' McGovern, 41, in Edinburgh in 2016. Jodie Steele, 41, from Edinburgh, is the mother of gangster Marc Webley's two sons Jodie Steele with Marc Webley and their two sons - the pair were said to have been in a relationship for 15 years While Webley was in jail, she is thought to have cheated on him with Richardson gangster and ex-soldier David Togher, who is currently her partner It is understood that while in prison, Togher and Steele would come together to visit Webley. Former undercover police officer Simon McLean infiltrated Scotland's gangs during his career as a cop. Speaking about Scottish gangsters' molls in general, McLean, who runs the Crime Time Inc podcast, said: 'It's all about the money and power. 'They're more sneaky and dishonest but their job is to look what's considered good in their world and do exactly as they're told - total abuse, control and very disposable. '[It's a] different world and culture. [Molls] are often shared and used as currency. They just use them: ''Take her for the night, it's part of the deal.'' 'It's all very pathetic. They come from the schemes. This is not class women we are talking about.' Steele's boyfriend Togher reportedly escaped an attack as part of the ongoing gang war earlier this year. Togher allegedly ran away from an armed thug who may have been targeting him.
