According to The Home Office, most child sexual abuse gangs made up of white men.
The majority of child sexual abuse gangs are made up of white men under the age of 30, an official paper has said.
The report, which covers England, Scotland and Wales and summarises a range of studies on the issue of group-based child sexual exploitation (CSE), also known as grooming gangs, said there was not enough evidence to conclude that child sexual abuse gangs were disproportionately made up of Asian offenders.
High-profile cases including in Rotherham, Rochdale and Telford have involved groups of men of mainly Pakistani ethnicity, fuelling a perception that it is an “Asian problem”.
As a result “Asian grooming gangs” have become a cause celebre for the far right, with a number of high-profile figures mounting campaigns across the country.
And let us never make the mistake of denying that Suella Braverman is not an existential threat. She is a member of the far right secret group The European Research Group (ERG)
and a Buddhist cult, the Triratna Buddhist Order, that has been criticised for operating as “a self-enclosed system” and whose writings “have the predictability of those who believe they have all the answers”. Arrogance personified.
The following is an intentional display of creating hate and division instead of dealing with the holistic reality.
In using such inflammatory language, @SuellaBraverman is seemingly attempting to initiate a race war. It is fact that most grooming gangs are comprised of white males but, when confronted by this, Braverman continues to repeatedly demonise non-white men; specifically Pakistanis. pic.twitter.com/fbcQvm0CiI

The former chief crown prosecutor in the north-west, who brought prosecutions over the Rochdale grooming gangs has stated that the Home Office report “confirms that white men remain the most common offenders, which is something rarely mentioned by rightwing commentators,” he said.
“However, it is not shy in reflecting that south Asian and British Pakistani men are disproportionately found in high-profile cases.
“The danger is that by focusing entirely on the ethnicity of the offender, we miss the bigger picture, which is how the unheard, the left-behind women and girls, are invariably the victims. That’s where the government’s attention and action should be primarily focused.”
Be honest Suella and stop appealing to the bigots.
