One wonders why men of Muslim sub-continental origin have become associated with organised sex-trafficking of young vulnerable girls. These associations seem to come in waves. There was a spate of "Irish tinkers" being implicated in various scams, and long before that, prostitution in central London was said to be controlled by Maltese families.

In cases like Oxford, Rochdale, Rotherham and Newcastle I suspect that what has happened has been something like a dam bursting. Police and social workers have long known that grooming for sex has gone on, but have been unduly afraid of seeking prosecution because of fears of being labelled racist - or of the sheer amount of evidence which needed to be handled. Once one crown prosecutor had taken the plunge, the rest felt free to follow. The result is that the involvement of Muslim men in this shameful business has been highlighted.

Why did men of Pakistani and Bengali descent get involved? It has been suggested that it is because Islam is more protective of its young women than nominally Christian Britain, and that the Old Adam seeks an outlet. However, the same could be said of orthodox Judaism and there have been no reports of sex-rings in Childs Hill or Cheetham. Besides, it seems to me that Muslims here are regressing to the secular mean. I believe the truth is more prosaic and down to opportunism. In the big towns and cities in England outside London, the mini-cab trade has come to be dominated by men from the Pakistani and Bangladeshi communities. This gives plenty of scope for the criminally-inclined to pick up and transport their victims. Not having been stopped by the authorities at an early stage, the information about easy pickings no doubt spread to other area by word of mouth through clans and extended families.

If social workers and those in charge of children's homes had been more vigilant, and those who had gone the extra mile, reporting abuse to the police, had been listened to, we would not have reached this dire state.
