Being vulnerable may have helped with ensnaring the girls, but it was threats of violence that allowed things to expand and escalate to something akin to sex trafficking. Are the white girls the only non-Asian(ie Pakistani) ones?

One of the men on trial in Liverpool said: "You white people train them in sex and drinking, so when they come to us they are fully trained." Others have told their victims it is fine to sleep with them "because it's what we do in our country".

Mohammed Shafiq, chief executive of of the Ramadhan Foundation, accused Pakistani community elders of "burying their heads in the sand" on the issue of on-street grooming. "There is a significant problem for the British Pakistani community," he said.
"There should be no silence in addressing the issue of race as this is central to the actions of these criminals.
"They think that white teenage girls are worthless and can be abused without a second thought; it is this sort of behaviour that is bringing shame on our community."
