Britain's government announced new investigations into child sexual exploitation and abuse, following pressure from social media, particularly from billionaire Elon Musk.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper commissioned a rapid audit into gang-based exploitation, examining data on ethnicity of perpetrators and promising support for local inquiries.
In the 2000s and early 2010s, grooming gangs targeted mainly white girls, with most perpetrators of British Pakistani heritage, revealing systemic failures in support for victims.
Official data state that grooming gangs accounted for only a small fraction of child sexual abuse crimes in England and Wales, indicating a wider issue.
