Inter-racial Grooming of Girls for Sex 16 August 2007
Jackie’s Story: her daughter’s slip into sex and drugs.

Two men have been jailed for the sexual exploitation of two young girls aged under 16. The case has sparked discussion because the men are Asian and the girls are white. The Labour MP for Keighley - Ann Cryer - has said that she has been contacted by mothers who are worried that some Asian men are targeting their under age daughters. The charity CROP – the Coalition for the Removal of Pimping – says that in the last four and a half years they have been contacted by over 200 concerned families. In 35% to 40% of these cases the groups of men involved in exploitation have been predominantly Asian.
