No cultural links have been established. However we have to get to the bottom of why these grooming gangs seemed to be above the law.



In what way is ignoring what the girls were saying, and pulling resources from the enquiry not sweeping it under the carpet?
The original post on this thread claimed that it would appear to be a cultural thing amongst Pakistani men. That's my only real objection to the statements on this thread. Any failures to investigate the allegations in the first place lie with the authorities and not the Pakistani community. In the 50+ years I've been on this earth I've read about many different child abuse scandals in many different communities and organisations. Many of these scandals didn't come to light for years because the authorities didn't listen to the victims or didn't believe that the people committing these abhorrent deeds were capable of doing so.

Yes it's correct to ensure that these crimes are fully and thoroughly investigated, however it's wrong and racist to single out one community for extra vitriol and that's exactly what's happening here.
