For years in England vulnerable girls and women in different cities are said to have been abused by so-called "Grooming Gangs" often Pakistani-born men. Police and authorities are said to have remained inactive for a long time.
The gang-like sexual abuse of vulnerable British girls by groups of Pakistani-born men is now to be reworked. The topic is politically highly explosive.
