South Asian sex gangs are continuing to groom white girls in Britain because police and social services fear being branded as racist

Police and social services have been accused of fueling a culture of silence which has allowed hundreds of young white girls to be exploited by South Asian men for sex. Agencies have identified a long-term pattern of offending by gangs of men, predominantly from the British Pakistani community, who have befriended and abused hundreds of vulnerable girls aged 11 to 16. Experts claim the statistics represent a mere fraction of a 'tidal wave' of offending in counties across the Midlands and the north of England which has been going on for more than a decade.
