It is said that a report detailing how gangs of Asian men in Birmingham were grooming school girls with alcohol and drugs was not made public as senior officers had warned that such information could arouse racial tensions before the 2010 General Election.
West Midlands Police had been warned that more than 100 predominantly white school children were at serious risk of child exploitation, as abusers were approaching school pupils at the school gates. Some of the school children at risk were as young as 13.
Police stated that they had identified 75 suspects. It is said that most of the suspects boasted a history of sexual violence and most of whom came from the Pakistani community in Birmingham.
