Grooming Gangs: Britain’s Shame Background and Discovery: - The scandal first gained national attention in Rotherham [UK] around 2010-2014. - Journalist Andrew Norfolk initially investigated after hearing concerns about Asian men targeting teenage girls. - The abuse pattern involved grooming young girls with gifts and attention, then subjecting them to sexual exploitation and trafficking.

Pattern of Abuse: - Victims were predominantly white girls, many from vulnerable backgrounds. - Most perpetrators were of Pakistani background. - Victims were often given alcohol or drugs before being abused. - Girls were frequently trafficked between abusers and subjected to extreme violence. - The abuse often centered around taxi services and food establishments.

Government Failures: - Police and local councils repeatedly failed to act on reports of abuse. - Social workers and authorities often blamed the victims. - Evidence and reports were sometimes destroyed or altered. - Whistleblowers were frequently silenced or punished. - Fear of being labeled racist drove authorities not to act.

Scale and Spread: - Similar patterns emerged in other towns including Rochdale and Telford. - The National Crime Agency identified over 1,500 victims in Rotherham alone. - Despite thousands or more victims nationally, relatively few perpetrators have been convicted. - Reports suggest the abuse is ongoing in some areas (GBNews)
