US EditionSir Keir Starmer to launch new national inquiry into grooming gangs
- Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer announced on Saturday that he will establish a nationwide statutory investigation into organized child sexual abuse involving grooming gangs in the UK.
- The decision followed an audit by Baroness Louise Casey, initially skeptical, who reviewed data on group-based child sexual abuse and recommended a full inquiry.
- Starmer said he read every single word of Casey's report and will implement her recommendations under the Inquiries Act, granting the inquiry power to summon witnesses.
- The inquiry addresses widespread criticism following a seven-year investigation led by Professor Alexis Jay, which uncovered systemic failures and identified thousands of victims, mainly young white British females exploited by men of Pakistani background.
- The inquiry aims for timely justice, as Starmer emphasized 'justice delayed is justice denied,' acknowledging survivors need resolution without further delay.
