Speaking in the House of Lords on 20 January 2025

Debate

Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse

Contribution

The task force reports that 127 major police investigations across 29 police forces are currently under way into child sexual exploitation and gang grooming. Many major investigations have involved Pakistani-heritage gangs. The police task force evidence also shows exploitation and abuse taking place across many different communities and ethnicities, but the data on the ethnicity of both perpetrators and victims is still inadequate.
