The UK government on Monday announced a national inquiry after an “audit” into historic child sexual exploitation concluded a consistent failure to fully acknowledge or collect accurate data about men of Pakistani heritage “grooming and sexually exploiting young white girls”.
UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper updated Parliament on the findings of the audit she had set up earlier this year, noting that many major investigations into the issue have involved "Pakistani heritage gangs".
Baroness Louise Casey submitted the ‘National Audit on Group-Based Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse’, making a series of recommendations including the urgent need for data collection around the ethnicity of perpetrators that has been “shied away from”.
