What is the “rape gangs” scandal?

An inquiry into claims of “grooming gangs” who sexually abused children has been a demand of opposition conservatives in the UK for many years, reported PTI.

A probe in Rotherham found that 1,400 children had been sexually abused over 16 years, mostly by British-Pakistani men. Several such smaller inquiries also found that cases of child abuse has been linked to men of South Asian heritage, reported PTI.

Inquiries covering other parts of northern England also highlighted similar concerns, in many cases involving men of South Asian heritage.
