[Margaret Pilkington]

A 59 year old who cannot be named for legal reasons cited the fact that these girls had been let down by society before he ever met them.......and what kind of lame excuse is that for him taking his pleasure at their expense....and then selling them on to other men from his own Pakistani community??

These issues are swept under the carpet by the communities involved.
These girls because they are white, non muslim, are seen as being easy targets and alsmost not human.

I just wonder what would happen to these men in their own community if they abused girls of their own background in this way......or for that matter what would be the outcome if it had been white males 'grooming' muslim girls for their own pleasure.

In some ways we have been partly responsible for this state of affairs by being afraid to speak out for fear of being branded as racist.

This crime is racist...whatever the police may say.
I was committed by men of one race against girls of a different race, based on their creed and colour. (white and non muslim)

I hope that more people from the muslim/Pakistani community come out and decry the crimes committed by these men...but I won't hold my breath.
