In June 2025, a Breitbart Europe article highlighted an upcoming National Audit on Group-Based Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, led by Baroness Louise Casey, which is set to link Britain's grooming gang epidemic to illegal immigration. This review, expected to detail the demographics of offenders and victims, including ethnicity, has reignited a contentious debate about systemic failures, cultural sensitivities, and the role of migration in one of the UK's most harrowing scandals. The grooming gang crisis, characterised by the systematic sexual exploitation of predominantly young, working-class white girls, has exposed deep institutional shortcomings, with allegations of cover-ups driven by fears of "racism."
The forthcoming Casey review, as reported by The Sun, promises to be a landmark in addressing Britain's grooming gang scandal. Commissioned to assess the scale, drivers, and demographics of group-based child sexual exploitation, it reportedly ties the crisis to illegal immigration, a link that has sparked concern within the Home Office about potential civil unrest. The review also calls for a full national inquiry to probe the ethnicities of offenders and allegations that authorities ignored victims to avoid accusations of racism. This demand challenges Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's earlier dismissal of such inquiries as "far-right" band wagoning, especially given that his Labour Party controlled many grooming gang hotspots like Rochdale and Rotherham during the height of the abuses.
The review's focus on ethnicity builds on prior reports, such as a 2017 Quilliam study, which found that 84% of grooming gang offenders were Muslim men of South Asian (primarily Pakistani) heritage. These perpetrators often targeted vulnerable white girls, seen as "easy targets" compared to Muslim girls, who were considered "protected" within their communities. The Casey review's emphasis on illegal immigration adds a new dimension, suggesting that undocumented migrants may exacerbate the problem. With over 15,000 illegal crossings of the English Channel in 2025 alone, the review's findings could intensify public tensions, as seen in recent unrest in Northern Ireland following charges against Romanian teens for attempted rape.
The grooming gang crisis has scarred Britain for decades, with towns like Rochdale, Rotherham, and Oldham emerging as epicentres. A recent case in Rochdale, reported by the BBC, underscores the brutality: two girls, groomed from age 13 starting in 2001, were treated as "sex slaves," plied with drugs and alcohol, and "passed around" by hundreds of men. Seven men, Mushtaq Ahmed, Mohammed Zahid, Kasir Bashir, Nisar Hussain, Mohammed Shahzad, Naheem Akram, and Roheez Khan, were convicted in 2025, with three born in Pakistan. Yet, the court heard that social services dismissed one victim as a "prostitute" at age 10, highlighting a chilling institutional failure.
Rotherham's scandal, where over 1,400 girls were abused between 1997 and 2013, remains the most infamous. A 2022 Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) report revealed that police knew of the abuse for 30 years but avoided action due to fears of "racial tensions," given the predominantly Pakistani-heritage perpetrators and white victims. Whistleblowers, like former detective Maggie Oliver, have criticised such inquiries as "corrupt" for shielding senior officers. Victims like Elizabeth Harper, who spoke at a Reform UK event in 2025, recounted being ignored by South Yorkshire Police, with her father even arrested while trying to rescue her.
These cases reveal a pattern: vulnerable girls, often from disadvantaged backgrounds, were groomed with calculated precision, while authorities, police, social services, and local councils, looked the other way. Fear of being labelled racist or Islamophobic, especially in Labour-run areas, paralysed action. A 2017 Quilliam report noted that cultural attitudes among some perpetrators, viewing white girls as "fair game," compounded the problem, yet official reports often downplayed ethnicity to avoid controversy.
The Casey review's reported link between illegal immigration and grooming gangs is a contentious addition to the debate. While specific evidence remains unpublished, the claim aligns with broader concerns about migration's impact on crime. A 2025 report cited by Breitbart noted that illegal immigration fuels Britain's £250 billion black market economy, suggesting that unregulated migration creates environments where exploitation can thrive. The review's focus on demographics, including the ethnicity of offenders, may point to patterns involving recent migrants, though the extent of this connection is unclear without the full report.
Critics argue that tying grooming gangs to illegal immigration risks oversimplifying a complex issue. The majority of convicted groomers, like those in Rochdale and Rotherham, are British-born "Asians" or long-term residents of Pakistani heritage, not recent undocumented arrivals. However, the influx of over 15,000 Channel crossings in 2025 raises questions about vetting and integration, especially in communities already strained by cultural tensions. The Home Office's fear of unrest, as reported by The Sun, reflects the volatile public mood, amplified by incidents like the Northern Ireland riots.
The grooming gang scandal is as much about institutional betrayal as it is about the crimes themselves. Victims consistently report being dismissed or blamed by authorities. In Rochdale, social services' labelling of a 10-year-old as a "prostitute" epitomises this callousness. In Rotherham, police arrested a victim's father rather than her abusers, while a whistleblower in 2025 claimed Operation Linden deliberately avoided implicating senior officers. The IOPC's finding that police feared "racial tensions" over pursuing "Asian" perpetrators reveals a prioritisation of political correctness over child safety.
The Casey review's call for a national inquiry responds to these failures, echoing demands from figures like Reform UK's Nigel Farage and Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch. A YouGov poll in January 2025 found 76% public support for such an inquiry, with 41% believing the scandal was intentionally covered up. Yet, Starmer's Labour government has resisted, citing existing local inquiries like the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA). Critics, including Farage, argue that IICSA failed to focus specifically on grooming gangs, lumping them with other abuse types and ignoring hotspots like Oldham and Telford.
A national inquiry could "connect the dots," as Badenoch urged, by quantifying the number of victims, potentially thousands across 50 towns, per GB News' Charlie Peters, and examining why similar gang structures emerged nationwide. It could also probe why no officials have faced criminal penalties, despite enabling abuse through inaction.
The grooming gang crisis and its link to illegal immigration pose profound challenges for Britain. Socially, the scandal has eroded trust in institutions, with victims like Harper feeling abandoned by those meant to protect them. The perception of a cover-up, fuelled by authorities' reluctance to discuss ethnicity, has bolstered critical narratives, as Starmer's "bandwagon" comment inadvertently acknowledges. Posts on X, such as those from @KemiBadenoch and @CPhilpOfficial, highlight academic studies showing Pakistani-heritage men's overrepresentation in grooming cases, fuelling public anger over perceived denialism.
Politically, the issue is a lightning rod. Reform UK's pledge to deport foreign nationals involved in grooming, as stated by Zia Yusuf, appeals to voters frustrated by Labour and Conservative inaction. Labour's resistance to a national inquiry, despite support from figures like Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, risks alienating its base, with 66% of Labour voters favouring an inquiry per YouGov. The Conservatives, criticised for their own inaction during 14 years in power, face accusations of opportunism.
Culturally, the scandal exposes tensions around integration and multiculturalism. The Quilliam report's findings about cultural attitudes toward white versus Muslim girls suggest a need for community-level interventions, yet fear of stigmatisation has stifled honest discussion. Illegal immigration, while only one facet, adds complexity, as unvetted arrivals strain resources and integration efforts. The Casey review's findings could either foster constructive dialogue or deepen divisions, depending on how they are presented and acted upon.
Addressing the grooming gang crisis requires a multifaceted approach. A national inquiry, as Casey advocates, is essential to establish the full scope, number of victims, towns affected, and institutional failures. It must be transparent, focusing on data like ethnicity and immigration status without fearing political correctness. Accountability is non-negotiable: officials who ignored abuse, whether due to fear of racism or incompetence, must face consequences, unlike the zero firings in Rotherham's Operation Linden.
Prevention demands better training for police and social workers to identify grooming without bias or hesitation. Victim support, including mental health services and legal aid, must be prioritised to empower survivors like Harper. On immigration, robust vetting and integration programs could mitigate risks, though the link to grooming gangs needs clearer evidence. Community engagement, addressing cultural attitudes that enable exploitation, is equally vital but requires sensitivity to avoid alienation.
The Casey review's anticipated link between illegal immigration and Britain's grooming gang epidemic, as reported by Breitbart, underscores a national tragedy marked by horrific crimes and institutional betrayal, a product of mass immigration. The broader scandal, decades of abuse, ignored victims, and cover-ups driven by fear of racism, demands urgent action. A national inquiry, backed by overwhelming public support, could provide answers and accountability. Britain must confront this crisis with courage, valuing victims over political sensitivities, to ensure no child endures what thousands already have. And it is time to look at the mess the elite's drive to create a multicult diverse society through mass immigration has created.
"An upcoming review into the scourge of child rape grooming gangs in Britain will reportedly tie the sexual exploitation of often young working-class white girls with illegal immigration.
According to a report from The Sun newspaper, the upcoming National Audit on Group-Based Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse, which is due to be published next week, will link the illegal migrant crisis to the grooming gang epidemic.
The review from Baroness Louise Casey will also reportedly "provide an assessment of what is known about the demographics of grooming gangs and their victims, including ethnicity."
Previous reports have found that Pakistani-heritage men were vastly overrepresented in the sexual exploitation and grooming of young white girls from disadvantaged backgrounds who were seen as "easy targets" compared to Muslim girls, whom the groomers felt should be "protected".
The paper claimed that there is concern within the Home Office that tying illegal immigration to the grooming gang scandal could further inflame tensions in Britain and perhaps lead to more civil unrest as has recently broke out in Northern Ireland after a pair of Romanian teens were charged with attempted rape of a 14-year-old girl.
According to The Times of London, the Casey review will also call for a full national review. Earlier this year, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, whose left-wing Labour Party controlled many of the local governments of grooming gang hotspots, claimed that those demanding a full national inquiry were jumping on the "bandwagon of the far-right".
The Casey review will reportedly make the demand that a national inquiry focus on the issue of the ethnicities of the offenders and the allegations that officials covered up the scandal and ignored victims for fear of being accused of racism.
A past report on the Rotherham grooming gangs from the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) found that police ignored the plight of young girls for fear of stoking "racial tensions" as most of the perpetrators were "Asians" (British euphemism for those from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh) and that most of the victims were white girls.
The expected publication of the latest review comes as seven more men were charged with raping and grooming two girls from Rochdale.
According to the BBC, the two girls were groomed from the age of 13, starting in 2001. The Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court heard that the girls were treated as "sex slaves" and were forced to "have sex with the men whenever and wherever they wanted" after being plied with drugs and alcohol.
While seven men were convicted, the court heard that they were "passed around for sex" by hundreds of men. One of the victims said that her abuse was ignored by local social services, who she said had regarded her as a "prostitute" by the time she was just ten years old.
Mushtaq Ahmed, Mohammed Zahid, Kasir Bashir, Nisar Hussain, Mohammed Shahzad, Naheem Akram, and Roheez Khan were all convicted this week, with a further 20 men set to stand trial in September.
Three of the convicted groomers, Ahmed, Bashir, and Zahid, were born in Pakistan.
So far this year, over 15,000 illegals have crossed the English Channel in small boats from the beaches of France."
