- Rupert Lowe released 'The Rape Gang Inquiry Report' on 16 June, establishing the inquiry to examine the systematic targeting of vulnerable girls by predominantly Muslim Pakistani gangs.
- The report claims these crimes have been taking place since the 1950s and that the same patterns were found in at least 149 local authority districts, or nearly 40 per cent of all such districts across the UK.
- One of its most striking claims is that, 'at the very least, 250,000 young white girls have been subjected to repeated rape, gang rape, trafficking, torture, pregnancy, forced Islamic conversion and lifelong trauma.'
- The report acknowledges that 'the 250,000 figure is not a precise count. No such count exists because the British state has failed to record it. But we may regard it as a conservative estimate that accounts for the organised, repeated nature of the abuse.'
- Using an analysis of 264 convictions for group-based child sexual exploitation from 2005-2017, the report states that 84 per cent of offenders were South Asian, with the vast majority Pakistani Muslim.
- The report concludes that 'rape gangs are a specific ethnoreligious phenomenon, with Muslims — especially Pakistani Muslims — significantly overrepresented.'
- The report states that the overwhelming majority of the gangs consisted of men from Muslim backgrounds, predominantly Pakistani but also Somali, Iranian, Syrian, Turkish and others.
- The report claims that Pakistani Muslim and other Muslim-background perpetrators operated under an 'honour- and shame-based clan code' that treated non-Muslim girls, especially white working-class girls, as property available for sexual use.
- Rupert Lowe stated that migrants had 'colonised large parts of our country' and that authorities were 'too frightened of being called racist to challenge them.'
- The report states that 'every foreign national convicted of group-based child sexual exploitation must at the very least be deported,' adding that British citizens holding dual nationality should automatically lose their citizenship upon conviction.
- The report repeatedly argues that the abuse was not simply a series of isolated local failures, but part of a national pattern.
The report by Rupert Lowe, released on June 16, 2023, outlines a disturbing pattern of child sexual exploitation in the UK, claiming that at least 250,000 girls have been victimized since the 1950s.123451012
It highlights that 84% of offenders were South Asian, predominantly Pakistani Muslims.
The inquiry asserts that these crimes are not isolated incidents but part of a national issue affecting nearly 40% of local authority districts.
“The 250,000 figure is not a precise count,” the report states, acknowledging the lack of official records but suggesting it is a conservative estimate of the organized abuse.
“Rape gangs are a specific ethnoreligious phenomenon,” it concludes, emphasizing the overrepresentation of Muslim perpetrators.
The report also notes that these gangs operated under a “honour- and shame-based clan code,” treating non-Muslim girls as property.
Lowe's remarks post-release intensified the controversy, claiming migrants have “colonised large parts of our country.”
The report calls for significant policy changes, including the deportation of foreign nationals convicted of such crimes and the loss of citizenship for dual nationals upon conviction.
“Rupert Lowe's report claims that at least 250,000 young white girls have been subjected to severe abuse since the 1950s. It highlights a national pattern of grooming gangs, predominantly involving South Asian men.”
