The Rotherham child sex abuse ring, was a scandal that occurred between 2004-2014, where the term ‘grooming’ was first coined to describe a situation that occurred where underage girls were plied with drugs and alcohol by a group of older men and then raped.
What made it even more scandalous, was that all the girls were under the care of social services, and therefore were even more vulnerable, but it was these circumstances that were claimed to have them deemed ‘unreliable witnesses,’ which helped perpetuate the cycle of abuse and let it remain unreported for so long.
Furthermore, as the men were all of British Pakistani ethnicity, it raised questions about whether the Police allowed the girls to remain at the mercy of their abusers’ for fear of being labelled racist.
I think it would be interesting to see if any links to sexual abuse can be seen in a mundane chart, as it could with the chart that another member of this forum, @John Thompson had recently posted on another thread.
