The case recalls similar crimes in England that occurred in Rotherham, Rochdale, Telford and Manchester. In the past few years, gangs with an “Asian background” had systematically brought girls under their control and sexually abused them for years. According to an investigation report, the police were reluctant to investigate at the time because they feared racism allegations.
