Pakistani grooming gangs in UK: 'Call them rape gangs', JK Rowling joins Elon Musk's call for accountability over Rotherham scandal
In the past 24 hours, social media platform X has become the battleground for a heated debate on the alleged grooming gangs scandal in the UK. Public figures including Elon Musk, JK Rowling, and former Prime Minister Liz Truss have joined a growing chorus of voices demanding accountability over the UK's handling of child sexual abuse cases, particularly focusing on the Rotherham scandal that occurred between 1997 and 2013.
Over a period spanning years, the Yorkshire town of Rotherham experienced one of Britain's most severe child exploitation cases. An independent inquiry found that no fewer than 1,400 minors were victimized through systematic abuse. The majority of victims were young girls who were targeted, manipulated, and trafficked by organized groups of men, most of whom were of Pakistani background.
