Some Rotherham Child Welfare official basically said these girls were asking for it if I read some comments right.
Someone at the UK Telegraph blogged about it:
“His statements are staggering. He begins by claiming race was not an issue in the targeting of victims. ?He argues that evidence suggests that victims were not targeted because they were white but because they were vulnerable and their vulnerability caused them to seek out ‘warmth, love, transport, mind-numbing substances, drugs, alcohol and food’,? Gentleman writes. This is factually wrong. The vast majority of sexual abusers select victims of the same ethnic origin. In Rotherham, the opposite happened. As the Jay report explicitly states, ?In a large number of the historic cases in particular, most of the victims in the cases we sampled were white British children, and the majority of the perpetrators were from minority ethnic communities.?”
In this case i reckon race did play a major role. Several yrs ago there was a similar case of gang rape in australia by a bunch of muslim youth & their victims were 2 white australian girls. The rapists were caught, put on trial & jailed. The girls were later interviewed. It was a fairly high profile case & according to public accounts & interviews with the victims it was racial as well. The basis overtly stated was that the rapists saw the girls as easy prey because they weren’t muslims & were ‘white’. IOW, the victims were deliberately chosen. It was fairly quickly put to rest to not cause massive social upheaval. But soon thereafter, it prompted a few from the muslim community in australia to be interviewed on tv & those interviewed specifically stated that not wearing the hejab doesn’t mean girls are ‘asking for it’. I very much doubt 1400 or thereabouts were looking for ‘comfort, warmth, etc...’ by being raped & abused. Even if 3 were reported then it should’ve been investigated & promptly dealt with, regardless of the heritage of the perpetrators. British authorities are to be blamed & held responsible equally if not more than the rapists.
This is not inaccurate. Such ploys are always used by perps around the world. Girls are snared by being treated nicely. They feel special because they have a boyfriend.
This doesn't last long nor does the pretense of caring.
But they don't just (generally) grab girls off the street. They are seduced and then exploited. Which is why it's called "grooming," not "grabbing."
Of course, if they go to Iraq and join ISIS, they'll be able to use more traditional and less time-consuming Muslim methods of getting girls.
