Not wishing to court controversy or being an apologist, but, this kind of thing has been going on long before we had a Muslim community. Predators will always have prey regardless of cultural background.

As Anne says, some will always be the victims, in the past, and most likely still, we have had English, Irish, Scottish pimps (for want of a better word), who have used young girls to make money or for their own gratification. I would suggest that this particular case is making the headlines for the wrong reasons.

Only a few weeks ago a young Romanian girl wandered into my place of work, drunk, no english, with a slip of paper that was a rough map of the area. Luckily one of my colleagues could speak Russian, basically she had been picked up by a taxi, plied with drink, dropped off and pointed towards a squat and got lost. Quite frankly, if she had stumbled into the wrong place and met the wrong person..well,.. I'll leave it to the imagination (We handed her to the police btw)

I have quite a few acquaintances from the asian community. To a man they are as disgusted with this affair as I am. Strangely enough in my limited experience it is the asian females who adopt the 'white trash' attitude towards white girls.

There will always be scum, regardless of race or religion, remember the white woman from this area who was jailed last year for grooming young girls.

As for the mosque leader who made the inane comments..is this any different to Kevin Logan and his inanities?
