Hi and welcome to this Jason King B'ham Insight for VPN.



We are revisiting some critical statistics that reveal the demographics of individuals committing child sexual exploitation offences associated with "grooming gangs" active in Telford, Rochdale, and other parts of the UK, leading to many convictions around 2012. Our findings indicate a significant overrepresentation of Britain's Muslim/Asian population in these offences. Specifically, individuals in this group are vastly more likely to commit these offences compared to their White counterparts—an issue that many in the public and political sphere seem reluctant to acknowledge.


There has been a widespread assertion that the focus on "grooming gangs" systematically involved in the sexual abuse of children unfairly targets Muslims. Proponents of this view argue that the "majority of abusers are White." According to the relevant report, 30% of the offenders were White, and 28% were Asian. This means that in absolute numbers, slightly more offences were committed by White individuals than by Asians. However, considering that Whites constitute 85% of the population and Asians 8%, it becomes evident that each Asian man was statistically far more likely to be involved in these offences.


Despite this significant overrepresentation, an important police report did not highlight these statistics. Instead, the report suggested that the focus on the Asian community might be influenced by racist attitudes, failing to acknowledge the significant overrepresentation.


More recently, a National Crime Agency report quoted a study indicating that Pakistanis dominate the national grooming gang statistics. By comparing the number of prosecutions to the overall population, it found that one in every 2,200 Muslim men over 16 in England and Wales was prosecuted for this crime between 1997 and 2017. For Pakistanis, that figure was one in 1,700. The breakdown of these statistics in specific areas is even more alarming:

• In Rochdale, 1 in 280 Muslim males over 16 was prosecuted.

• In Telford, the figure was 1 in 126.

• In Rotherham, it was 1 in 73.

The report highlighted that many abusers take no responsibility for their crimes and plead not guilty. They often face limited punishments and, upon returning to their communities, are not ostracized. Given the high rates of prosecution, these crimes could not have been a secret within these communities.


The impact of these crimes on the victims is devastating and long-lasting, affecting their physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. It is crucial for our politicians and public officials to confront these uncomfortable truths and provide transparent and honest information. Only through acknowledging and addressing the full extent of the problem can we hope to implement effective measures to prevent such atrocities in the future and support the victims in their recovery. The truth is not just a matter of public interest; it is essential for justice and keeping future generations safe.


Well, that’s all for now. But until our next article, please stay tuned, stay informed, but most of all stay safe, and I’ll see you then.
