The “grooming gang” scandal in Britain has tapped into fears about multiculturalism, mass immigration, and nefarious political motives that have led to thousands of young rape victims never receiving justice.  

The scandal is decades old but continues to this day, and long-running accusations of a cover-up have inflicted both a huge black eye internationally on Britain and serious political damage domestically on the ruling Labour Party. It has exposed the dark underbelly of politics and the lengths to which people will go, including the betrayal of society’s most vulnerable, to stay in power.
