UK Officials Used Flawed Data To Dismiss Pakistani Grooming Gang Claims

Thousands of young British girls groomed and raped by Pakistani "migrants" and the government is still lying about it. Britain, awake!

Senior figures in British public life have for years been so concerned about being branded “racist” or raising so-called “community tensions”—arguably more so than about protecting young girls—that they have brushed aside ethnicity when investigating child rape gangs and even claimed the real problem is with white perpetrators “when that can’t be proved.”

These are among the findings of a new official report by Baroness Casey, which this week helped to force Prime Minister Keir Starmer to announce a national inquiry into the grooming gangs scandal, a move he has long resisted.

The report found that ethnicity is still not recorded for two-thirds of perpetrators, but said there is still “enough evidence available … which show[s] disproportionate numbers of men from Asian ethnic backgrounds amongst suspects for group-based child sexual exploitation.”

In Rotherham, for example, nearly two-thirds (64%) of a total of 323 designated child sexual abuse and exploitation suspects were recorded as coming from a Pakistani ethnic background. That’s much higher than the proportion of South Yorkshire’s or Rotherham’s population which is ethnic Pakistani (2.4% and 4% respectively).

Discussing “why ethnicity matters,” the report stresses the importance of per capita findings, saying:

Assertions that the majority of child sexual abuse offenders are white, even if true, are at best misleading. In a population with over 80% of people of White ethnicity, it should always be a significant issue when people from a white background are not in the majority of victims or perpetrators of crime.

It should also be a significant issue when any community or social group appears disproportionately over-represented as victims or perpetrators of crime.

It added that the downplaying of ethnicity lets down “society, local communities and victims—past and future—by not looking harder at the nature of offending in order to better understand it and better prevent it.”

Among the report’s other findings was that non-UK nationals and asylum seekers are behind new grooming gang cases. Neither the Office for National Statistics nor the Ministry of Justice records data on the number of crimes committed by these groups.

And as the conversation turns to the upcoming national inquiry, Reform UK leader Nigel Farage warned that a “cover up” may have already begun, pointing to Baroness Casey’s inability (not for want of trying) to receive figures from certain authorities.
