UK Must Act Against British Pakistanis Raping Young White Girls: Labour MP

Child abuse statistics of the United Kingdom have taken the country’s leaders aback. The Labour Member of Parliament (MP) for Rotherham and Shadow Secretary of State for Women and Equalities, Sarah Champion, expressed her horror and sounded the alarm over the fact that those convicted of gang-related child sexual exploitation were largely British Pakistani males.

Stating that more than 90 per cent of abused children know their abuser, and adding that it is usually someone from within the extended family, Champion, in an article for The Sun, called on the Theresa May government to act on and counter this malaise.

"The government must act now to understand why this is. We have a large group of men behind bars, let's do some research and find out why these monsters think it is acceptable to abuse children in this way. Unless we know why they do, we can't prevent it. Our children deserve better," remarked Champion.

"British Pakistani men are raping and exploiting white girls, and it's time we faced up to it," said Champion, adding that she was prepared to call out this horrifying problem for what it is.

Referring to the recent Newcastle incident, where the accused have been found guilty on a range of child sexual exploitation charges, the Labour MP said there was nothing "racist" about her saying what she was saying or highlighting.

"For too long, we have ignored the race of these abusers and, worse, tried to cover it up. No more. These people are predators and the common denominator is their ethnic heritage. We have to have grown-up conversations, however unpalatable, or in six months' time, we will be having this same scenario all over again," she warned. (ANI)
