Flawed data used repeatedly to dismiss claims about 'Asian grooming gangs', Baroness Casey finds
- Baroness Louise Casey published a national audit on June 16, 2025, detailing failures in addressing child sexual exploitation in the UK.
- The audit followed past investigations including the 2012 Rochdale grooming gang convictions and cited police reluctance to share data due to fears of raising tensions.
- Greater Manchester Police investigated 35 grooming operations over three years, identifying 243 suspects—over half Asian males—and 317 alleged victims, mostly white females.
- The Home Secretary stated there are over 800 cases under review, accepted all recommendations immediately, and warned that ignoring ethnic disproportionality risks marginalising communities.
- The report's findings prompted calls for new laws, improved data collection on ethnicity, and a national criminal investigation to address systemic failures and support victims.
