Child abuse and grooming gangs ‘fed by political correctness’

Political correctness has fuelled the sexual exploitation of children, Rishi Sunak will say as he announces a plan to stamp out “evil” grooming gangs.

The prime minister will form a task force led by the National Crime Agency, with data analysis used to help the police to “identify the types of criminals who carry out these offences”.

Being involved in a grooming gang will become an aggravating factor during sentencing, and adults working with children will have a mandatory duty to report any suspicions that a child is being abused.
