Calls for National Inquiry into Grooming Gangs Intensify Following High-Profile Discussions
Amid growing concerns about child sexual abuse and grooming gangs, Prof. Alexis Jay, who led a seven-year inquiry, emphasizes the need for action rather than more inquiries. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper proposed new sanctions for those covering up abuse, while Conservative leaders, including Robert Jenrick, argue for a full national inquiry to address the scale of the issue. Critics, including former police detective Maggie Oliver, respond to these proposals, highlighting the urgent need for justice for victims.
