Under 4% of all crimes against children were of a Sexual nature.
In recent years, there have been a number of high-profile 'Grooming Gang' cases. Groups of predominantly Asian, British-Pakistani, 'Muslim' men have exploited girls and young women for sex in towns and cities including Rotherham, Rochdale, Oxford, Telford, Newcastle, Bristol and more.The similarities amongst these incidents has put the spotlight on social issues including child exploitation, protection, responsibility, culture and Islam.
'Grooming Gangs'
Child Sexual Exploitation cases, like that undertaken by grooming gangs, represent a tiny proportion of the total number of Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) cases that take place every year. Data from the Crime Survey for England and Wales clearly show the "two offences most clearly associated with CSE – abuse of children through sexual exploitation and sexual grooming – make up 3% of police recorded CSA cases in England and 2% of cases in Wales."counterpunch.org

Who are Children?A child or children, is a human being between the stages of birth and puberty, or between the developmental period of infancy and puberty. The term may also refer to an unborn human being. In English-speaking countries, the legal definition of child generally refers to a minor, in this case as a
person younger than the local age of majority, regardless of their physical, mental and sexual development as biological adults. Children generally have fewer rights and responsibilities than adults.
