There are growing calls for resignations over the failure to act on reports of child sex abuse in Rotherham. One of those being urged to go is Shaun Wright - South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner and the man who was in charge of children's services at Rotherham council for five years. An inquiry found that children as young as 11 were raped, abducted, trafficked and beaten.
Shaun Wright told the BBC he took his responsibilities very seriously but would not stand down.

1400 victims in a town of hundred thousand popupulation. 50000 women.
2 and a half percent have been raped by muslims, extrapolate that to the whole country and you will see what a problem this is. Shame on us all.
Send the bastards back-NOW
blatant race related hate crime
more than 1 in 10 white girls are raped by muslims in Rotherham

I can think of one other scandal (Rochdale) that involved Asian gangs. As the report says there is no simple link between race and child sex abuse and the greatest numbers of paedophiles are white men.
Haut De La Garenne, Kincora Boys School, Elm Tree Guest House, Bryn Estyn, the plethora of paedophile priests - predominantly white men.
So whilst the perpetrators in this case were Asian and Roman Slovaks, the problem of paedophilia happens across majority of cultures.

Except the report states that most of the victims were asian, so the crime was, like most sexual offences, committed by people who were close to the victims rather than due to anything racial.
5.5 In this part of the report, we have not specified the ethnicity of the victims or the perpetrators. 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. They were described generically in the files as ‘Asian males’ without precise reference being made to their ethnicity.
As has been stated many times before, there is no simple link between race and child sexual exploitation, and across the UK the greatest numbers of perpetrators of CSE are white men. The second largest category, according to the Children's Commissioner's report, are those from a minority ethnic background, particularly those recorded as 'Asian'.
The Lead Member for CYP (2005 - 2010), who later became the South Yorkshire Police and Crime Commissioner, was aware of CSE from the outset of his tenure, and believed that reports on the subject which he regularly received as Lead Member were taken seriously and acted upon by the Council in conjunction with the Police. This was stated in his written evidence to the Home Affairs Select Committee in 2013, where he also stated that race was never presented to him by staff or agencies as an obstacle to investigating offences.
The Deputy Children's Commissioner’s report reached a similar conclusion to the Muslim Women's Network research, stating 'one of these myths was that only white girls are victims of sexual exploitation by Asian or Muslim males, as if these men only abuse outside of their own community, driven by hatred and contempt for white females. This belief flies in the face of evidence that shows that those who violate children are most likely to target those who are closest to them and most easily accessible.'
Set against a background of rising demand, high vacancies amongst social workers and their managers, and reliance on agency staff to cover frontline posts, the persistence with the reorganisation at that time might be seen as ill judged. Several managers described the situation around 2007 onwards as ‘chaotic’.
She told the Inquiry that it was certainly conveyed by senior managers in the CYP service that the extent of CSE was being exaggerated. A divide amongst senior managers was also obvious. CSE was not seen as a priority at that time, especially by some operational locality managers, who also thought Risky Business were exaggerating, and had a high volume of competing priorities to meet
'The member barometer re sexual matters was skewed'
'It was a very grubby environment in which to work'
'A colleague was told she ought to wear shorter skirts to meetings and she'd get on better'
'A senior member said on four occasions in public places "you women are only fit for cooking, washing and darning"
‘ 'A senior member said I know what I'd like to do to you if I was ten years' younger’ 'A senior member asked me if I wore a mask while having sex'
In October 2009, the outgoing Director of Safeguarding wrote to the Chief Executive referring to a recent budget meeting chaired by the Lead Member for Children and Young People’s Services. The following account is taken from her letter. A senior officer present, not from Safeguarding Services, was quoted as saying that in his professional view Rotherham had too many looked after children and this accounted for a significant part of the overspend. When challenged for his evidence for this assertion he is described as becoming aggressive and antagonistic. He was asked - 115 - to stop shouting. He responded by saying that shouting was the only way to get through to these people and he persisted for over an hour, swearing frequently, with no intervention from the Chair, according to the letter.
The terms used by many people we spoke to about how those in authority (members and some officers) dealt with CSE were ‘sweeping it under the carpet’, ‘turning a blind eye’ and ‘keeping a lid on it’. One person said of the past ‘the people above just didn’t want to know’.
Some people we interviewed suspected that a small number of those with political authority in the Council had links to the perpetrators of CSE through taxi firms and other business or family interests. We were told by the Police that there was no evidence to support these suspicions.
