It didn't happen 30 years ago. The abuse happened between 1997 and 2013, when it was finally exposed that these "Asian" men were specifically targeting non-Muslim British girls for sexual exploitation, gang rape and trafficking.
The police knew about it, but refused to do anything because they were paralyzed by fear. The lot of them ought to be imprisoned for being traitors to their country and the girls of their nation as a result of their criminal negligence and stupidity.
If anybody is paralyzed by fear, it is the alt right.
it was in the news- and we did see it- but we have enough to deal with in our own news, so no headlines- We can fix them as they can't fix us-- I do not know why we keep bringing other countries woes up.
The Labour Party, in particular, is mired in shame over “cultural sensitivity” in Rotherham. Especially, cynics might point out, a sensitivity to the culture of Muslims whose votes they don’t want to lose. Denis MacShane, MP for Rotherham from 1994 to 2012, actually admitted to the BBC’s World At One that “there was a culture of not wanting to rock the multicultural community boat, if I may put it like that. Perhaps, yes, as a true Guardian reader and liberal Leftie, I suppose I didn’t want to raise that too hard.” Much better to hang on to your impeccable liberal credentials than save a few girls from being raped, eh, Denis?
It is sad that the media site and all of the posters are commenting about the ethnicity and/or religion of suspects instead of caring about the poor victims whose lives were devastated by sexual exploitation and abuse.
FWIW, this article links to the actual report that was written. The report went into great detail regarding the abuse and grooming the victims endured along with describing racial and cultural characteristics of the perpetrators.
It also highlighted that many of the child victims were Asian (Pakistani) along with a growing victim population of Roma and that the largest ethnic group of known, convicted perpetrators were Pakistani. Also, not all Middle Eastern (Asian - FYI the Middle East is in Asia so that actually is their "race/ethncity" Islam is a religion) are Muslims
Not sure why you all are seeking to act like this is not the case. Read the report and you will see that it is very detailed about all parts of this horrible occurrence.
Many of the stories of the children involved and how their lives have turned out are horrible and I feel for the victims and their families. Unfortunately many of the victims came from homes with addiction issues, neglect, and mental health problems by way of the parents. These are always the easiest victims for these sick people to target because they don't have anyone looking after them appropriately.
But regardless, trying to blame a certain ethnic group for all of a community's issues with sexual trafficking of minors is ridiculous. And there are always "unknown" perpetuators who take advantage of children.
I remember a similar story in Britain whereas their premier soccer league had white male coaches raping boys and threatening to kick them out of the program if they told anyone. These were white boys primarily from poor to working class homes who felt compelled to endure rape in order to get their families a better shot at financial success based on playing football. It was just as tragic as this area's. There are also cases in Britain where high up white government officials participated in raping children. The ethnicity of the perpetrator is secondary IMO to helping these children. I'd like to know what is happening to prevent this from occurring in the future and if these victims can get all the help they need.
I also wanted to add that the majority of the victims were not "kidnapped and raped."
They endured a grooming process and were provided gifts by perps in exchange for performing sexual acts. Of all the cases detailed in the report, few had incidences of kidnapping. Most had young girls/women saying that the peps were their "boyfriends" or those perps cared about them in some way.
This is how child abusers groom their victims - by making them think they love them and by giving them attention and material things they don't get at home.

.....- I do not know why we keep bringing other countries woes up.
If they're first world countries we can learn from THEIR mistakes rather than think for us it will be different because...............well, just because.
This is what we're having to deal with in my country now. These scum treated these young girls like they were just there for their amusement. No remorse. No pity. Their supporters in court shouting 'Allahu Akbar' to them as they were led away to begin their jail sentences. You think Donald Trump is wrong trying to keep these people out of America? Think again.
The Muslim President Assad in Syria would have taken these men to task. And surely these men would want Assad overthrown if they moved to Syria. In which case they would be lucky because the CIA would fund them and arm them and Christen them with the benevolent label "moderate Muslims." As they do in Syria with bearded rebel outfits with Mujahideen in organizations name. A word that means "holy warrior."
Tulsi Gabbard traveled to Syria and spoke with young Syrian women. She has clips of it up on YouTube. Young Muslim women attending college. Happy, attractive, free. And another video of a young woman living in fear that fled her home from the rebels. They murdered her brother, threatened to rape, but said if she cooperated they would marry her to one of their "jihadi princes" in the rebel group.
Assad and his wife are Muslims on par with any Italian Catholic or English Anglican. They defy the stereotype of Muslims. And Hillary Democrats and McCain Republicans are bent on promoting and advancing Muslims like the ones in this British news story. It would be like promoting and advancing white Christian men in the KKK by funding and arming them, calling them "moderate Christians" and call Bill Clinton a dictator and demanding he step down and give up reign in America to several different factions of white supremacy organizations fighting for freedom.
The white supremacy gangs in the USA and England are not as ferocious nor as well armed and backed by foreign state funding as the Muslim terrorist outfits in Syria. If they were the US President would pound them as hard as Assad does Muslim terrorist.
Not all white Christians are like the KKK and not all Muslims are like All Qaida (who are like these Pakistani dudes in the article).
The moral of the story here is we should encourage men to become gay. This solves a lot of problems. Don't know why you right wingers have such a hard-on about apposing gay rights when we are the solution to all your problems.
