‘Damning’ grooming gangs report reveals ‘failure to protect children’, says Cooper

1. Baroness Louise Casey’s review into child sex abuse by grooming gangs found suspects were often “disproportionately likely” to be Asian men, the Home Secretary has said.

   Yvette Cooper unveiled the findings from the rapid national audit to MPs, after the Prime Minister committed to launching a national inquiry into the abuse.

   Cooper said the overrepresentation was found when Baroness Casey examined local level data into three police force areas, Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire and South Yorkshire, and in serious case reviews.

   The Home Secretary said the findings of her audit were “damning,” adding: “She has found continued failure to gather proper robust national data despite concerns being raised going back very many years.”

2. As soon as the person in charge said ‘We cannot arrest foreign pedophiles, because it might make foreigners look like pedophiles’, that person should have been fired and their replacement should have been told to do their fucking job and uphold the law.
