(Breitbart)—Longstanding efforts by the legacy media and the political establishment to downplay the issue of ethnicity in the child rape grooming gang scandal have been overturned by a public inquiry from Baroness Casey of Blackstock, which found a direct tie between Pakistani men and the abuse of mostly young working class white girls.
A report from Dame Louise Casey has explicitly linked the grooming gang scourge to Pakistani-heritage men, whose crimes were “institutionally ignored for fear of racism”. The review also called for police in England to improve the collection of ethnicity data in child sexual exploitation cases.
Unveiling the findings of the report in the House of Commons on Monday, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said the audit “identified clear evidence of over-representation among suspects of Asian and Pakistani-heritage men”, The Times of London reported. She further said that the report highlighted “examples of organisations avoiding the topic altogether for fear of appearing racist or raising community tensions.”
“The sexual exploitation of children by grooming gangs is one of the most horrific crimes. Children as young as ten, plied with drugs and alcohol, brutally raped by gangs of men, and disgracefully let down by the authorities who were mean to protect them and keep the safe,” Cooper said.
The Home Secretary said the findings are “deeply disturbing” and are a “stain on our society” but noted that the Case review acknowledged “the fact that too many of these findings are not new” and that there have been “15 years of reports, reviews, inquiries, and investigations into these appalling rapes, exploitation, and violent crimes against children, detailed over 17 pages in her report, but too little has changed.”
