🇬🇧 Shocking 219-page report reveals scale of UK grooming gangs scandal
Independent MP Rupert Lowe has released a devastating independent inquiry exposing the systematic sexual exploitation of at least 250,000 young, mostly white British girls by predominantly Pakistani Muslim grooming gangs over the last decades.
Almost 19,000 children were identified as sexual exploitation victims in England in one year alone.
Many victims were as young as 11.
The overwhelming majority of the rape gang networks consisted entirely of men from Muslim backgrounds — predominantly of Pakistani heritage, although smaller groups from Somali, Iranian, Syrian, Turkish, and other Muslim origins were also involved.
The crimes occurred in at least 149 local authority districts (nearly 40% of the UK), involving repeated rape, gang rape, trafficking, torture, and forced conversions.
In each of these areas, the same tactics were used.
Girls as young as 11 were targeted with gifts, alcohol, and drugs, collected in taxis from school gates, care homes, and streets, and taken to houses, flats, restaurants, and hotels, and then raped repeatedly by groups of men, passed between perpetrators, trafficked across county lines, and in many cases impregnated or forced into abortions.
Most victims endured violence, were filmed for blackmail, or were told they were “white trash” or “kuffar” who deserved punishment.
Some girls were even trafficked to the Middle East, where they would endure Islamic marriage.
The report highlights decades of institutional failure and reluctance by authorities to address the ethnic and religious patterns behind these crimes.
