1,400 minor victims
Between 1997 and 2013, around 1,400 underage girls were victims of sexual abuse and exploitation in Rotherham. For years these crimes were ignored by British police and social services.

According to The Worldthe latter would have been “reluctant to identify the ethnic origins of the culprits for fear of being called racist”. The majority of perpetrators of sexual abuse were of Asian origin, which fueled social and political tensions.
Elon Musk also used this case to defend Tommy Robinson, a far-right activist convicted in 2021 for defamatory remarks against a Syrian refugee. The billionaire denounced a system where there is “no justice for serious and violent crimes, but prison for posts on social networks”.
This position earned him the support of Nigel Farage, a figure of the British far right and member of the Reform UK party, who benefits from the support of Elon Musk, according to Le Figaro.
JK Rowling reacts in turn
The Rotherham gang rape affair had already burst into the media in 2010, with the opening of the trial of five men involved in a pedophile ring.
The details emerging about what the rape gangs (why call them ‘grooming’ gangs? It’s like calling those who stab people to death ‘knife owners’) did to girls in Rotherham are downright horrific. The allegations of possible police corruption in the case are almost beyond belief. https://t.co/0SVoxuqw6K

But the return of this scandal is once again shaking the United Kingdom. “The details emerging about what the rapist gangs […] done to the girls of Rotherham are downright horrible. The allegations of possible police corruption in this case are almost beyond comprehension,” revolted, still on X, the British author of Harry Potter, JK Rowling.
