Britain’s rape gangs: Here’s what’s in the report the mainstream media is ignoring
At least 250,000 British girls suffered sickening sexual abuse by Pakistani gangs, who were enabled by police, social workers, and even Prime Minister Keir Starmer, to commit “child rape on an industrial scale,” British MP Rupert Lowe’s ‘Rape Gang Report’ has detailed.
Published on Tuesday, the 218-page report makes for sobering reading. It details the decades-long abuse of hundreds of thousands of white British girls – and smaller numbers of white boys and Sikh girls – by organized Pakistani ‘grooming gangs’ in 149 districts of the UK.
Witness testimony describes the most depraved acts of sexual violence – including preteen girls raped hundreds of times, threatened with death, and sodomized by dogs – happening in plain sight of the authorities tasked with its prevention.
Put together in just over a year, the report cost £600,000 ($803,000), drew on interviews with hundreds of victims and thousands of Freedom of Information requests, and yet has received zero mainstream coverage. Amid the UK media blackout, here’s what you need to know:
How is the rape gangs report different?
The British government has held several probes into child sexual abuse by so-called ‘grooming gangs’ in northern England before, most notably the Jay Inquiry and Telford Inquiry. However, both of these investigations were narrowly-focused on specific locations, and did not conclude that the gangs were a nationwide phenomenon.
Unlike the Telford and Jay reports, Lowe’s report was not funded by taxpayer money, and focused on the entire UK, rather than just northern England. The investigation was crowdfunded, and the report draws on previous studies, court records, and interviews with survivors to conclude that predominantly Pakistani rape gangs operated in 149 local authority districts in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland – almost half of the UK’s 317 municipalities.
Lowe’s report explicitly frames the abuse as racially- and religiously-motivated, describing it as “evil that has been, and continues to be, perpetrated by chiefly Pakistani Muslim men against vulnerable young white women and girls.”
How many girls were abused?
Previous reports suggested that around 250,000 women and girls had been raped by grooming gangs since the year 2000, based on extrapolated data from towns like Rotherham and Telford. Lowe’s report describes this number as “a bare minimum,” pointing out the problem of under-reporting encountered by other studies, and the fact that “sexual abuse of all kinds tends to be under-reported.”
Given that Britain’s first instance of gang-rape by Pakistani men was reported in 1955, “victims must number in the hundreds of thousands,” the report states.
What kind of abuse did the gangs commit against girls?
Witness testimony makes up the bulk of the report. With a few exceptions, including a boy who was raped by a gang of white British men, the cases followed a similar pattern: a working class white girl suffering trauma or abuse at home is groomed by older Muslim men, who provide her with alcohol, drugs, and gifts. Once her trust is gained, the girl is repeatedly raped and physically abused, often by hundreds of men.
Lowe read some of the most harrowing testimony aloud in a parliamentary session earlier this month, and the report goes into further, explicit detail.
Girls as young as 11 were targeted by men in their 40s and 50s, some of whom invited their relatives to join in the gang rape. The following testimony is drawn straight from the report:
“Michelle claims she was raped by between six and seven hundred different men over the course of three years”
“She was… raped by a dog as the men placed bets on whether it would penetrate her vagina or her anus”
“She was subjected to penetration with objects. She was urinated on. Her legs were held open. She was bitten on the back, cut on the leg and strangled”
“I was intimidated with guns, and threatened with body parts being cut off with knives”
- “I was beaten, black and blue, raped. Not only sexually raped with their body parts themselves, but with objects as well. I was taken to A&E [Accident and Emergency] because my vagina was split open from a glass bottle.”
Multiple victims described being transported across the UK from one group of abusers to another, with some spending months on end being passed around between rapists.
“It was all of the white girls in every home that I went to. And I mean, I’ve seen girls locked... I remember a man opening the back of a van and I saw maybe 15, 20 girls locked in dog cages. Looked like they’re on drugs.”
Were all the perpetrators Pakistani?
Multiple victims claimed that almost all of their rapists were Muslims of Pakistani descent, with one saying that “98% of them were Pakistani Muslim. If not, they were Iraqi Muslim or Kurdish.”
In cases that resulted in prosecution, “approximately 87% of those convicted bore distinctively Muslim names,” the report states, citing earlier research. Additional research by Dr. Taj Hargey, an imam at the Oxford Islamic Congregation, estimated that 95% of suspects in grooming gang cases “are of Muslim faith.”
Lowe explicitly links rape with immigration, pointing out that 8,593 rape cases were reported in the year 2000, a number that rose to over 70,000 “when the era of large-scale mass immigration into the country commenced under [former Prime Minister Tony] Blair.”
Were the British police involved?
The 2022 Jay Report criticized police and local authorities for failing to intervene for “fear of being thought racist.” Some of the testimony in Lowe’s report goes further, accusing healthcare staff at care homes of pimping girls out to abusers and allowing Pakistani men to sign girls out of facilities at will, and social welfare workers of returning children to live with gangs of rapists in government-provided housing.
Girls who arrived at police stations after being raped were often treated as child prostitutes who had consented to sex with their adult abusers. One girl was raped by a police sergeant, while another was ordered to drop her case by a Muslim officer who was later convicted of child sex abuse.
Parents who attempted to intervene were stonewalled. One mother who told police that her daughter had been abused by “Asian men” was supposedly told “You can’t describe them as Asian men because that’s racist. You should just be glad your child is being taught a different culture” (In the UK, ‘Asian’ typically refers to people of South Asian descent, such as those of Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, or Sri Lankan heritage).
Was Keir Starmer involved?
The Jay Report accused local authorities in Rotherham of covering up the widespread sexual abuse of young girls, and successive governments have been accused of ignoring the issue and slow-walking official inquiries into the scale of the abuse. In 2025, Labour MPs voted en masse against a Conservative motion calling for a national statutory inquiry into the gangs. Starmer’s party eventually backed down and opened a probe earlier this year.
Lowe’s report describes this probe as “a containment exercise,” focusing on only a few narrow areas and omitting any analysis of the demographic and religious factors behind the abuse. Starmer’s Labour Party, the report claims, was directly involved in covering up the scandal.
At least four Labour councillors and MPs have been convicted of child abuse, while others “either failed to crack down on rape gangs or obstructed efforts to do so.” Among them were:
Labour councillor Shaun Wright, who remained in charge of children’s services in Rotherham despite knowing about the activities of rape gangs in the city
London Mayor Sadiq Khan, of Pakistani descent, who denied the existence of grooming gangs in the British capital, despite having evidence proving otherwise
Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who as director of public prosecutions between 2008 and 2013, let 13,000 pedophiles off with warning letters instead of prosecuting them
What role did Islam play in the abuse?
Lowe’s report claims that the abuse was fueled by the “clannish” culture of British Pakistanis, which ensured that families and relatives stayed silent and protected rapists within their communities. This element of Pakistani society was noted in previous investigations too, with the Telford Report concluding that the “lack of engagement from the Asian community” made establishing the true extent of the abuse impossible.
The document also blames the “racially supremacist attitudes” and “us-and-them mindset” of Muslims, stating that the Quran instructs believers to treat “non-Muslims with contempt,” permits sex slavery of non-Muslims, and discourages Muslims from speaking up, lest they “damage the image of the Muslim community or bring discredit to Islam.”
Victim testimony suggests that many abusers attempted to provide Quranic justification for their crimes. Some were called “white slags,” “white trash,” or “kuffar bitches” who deserved punishment, and one was told that “her God had abandoned her.”
“I was told that Muslim girls are good and pure, and stay virgins until marriage, but all white girls are slags, and they all sleep with hundreds of people,” one victim recalled. “They are lower than shit under your shoe. They don’t obey Allah, so they deserve to be punished.”
What happens next?
The report recommends “mandatory annual training on group-based child sexual exploitation” for all emergency and social workers, and the prosecution of those who enabled the abuse. Every foreign national convicted of child sexual abuse should “at the very least be deported,” the report states, although Lowe has promised that if his Restore Britain party ever takes power, he would “with the British people’s approval, put them to death.”
However, Lowe is Restore Britain’s only MP, and the party is still a fringe movement. Nigel Farage’s Reform UK dominates the right-wing vote in the UK, and is currently polling at 26%, with Restore Britain languishing at 3%.
Lowe’s report has not been acknowledged by Labour, the Conservatives, or Reform, and its publication has been met with a near-total media blackout. However, Lowe’s reach on social media – particularly on X, where he is regularly retweeted by Elon Musk – is growing rapidly. According to the Financial Times, Lowe’s posts on the platform regularly garner ten times the engagement of Farage’s, despite him having half as many followers as the Reform UK leader.
Lowe has vowed to turn this attention into action. On Wednesday, he announced that he intends to “name perpetrators and their enablers” in parliament, with the aim of “put[ting] people in prison.” Lowe said that he is also providing law enforcement authorities with evidence needed to reopen old cases, and encouraging victims to file civil lawsuits against their abusers.
The bottom line
The report points to a wholesale failure in the British government’s duty of care to its children, and thoroughly delegitimizes the institutions of the British state, as well as its leaders.
Previous reports have been swept under the rug by Labour and Tory governments alike, and with the country’s mainstream parties ignoring Lowe’s hearings, there is little to suggest that the reaction to this report will be any different. However, while the government and mainstream media can ignore the report, or write Lowe off as a racist crank, the rape gangs scandal has permanently tarred the British public’s faith in the state.
Just 43% of the public trust the Labour government’s official inquiry into the scandal, with 42% trusting the justice system, 29% trusting social services, and 22% trusting Starmer to handle the issue, according to a 2025 YouGov poll.
