There have been a few similar cases to that as well from what I can recall but I don't want to put those terms into Google.

Again, Watkins and co were not local, they met 'long distance'.

From Internet rings, to the care homes, to the catholic church.

The Catholic one can be answered fairly easily - the overwhelming majority of priests in the UK and Ireland are white. By sheers numbers any involved in sexual abuse are highly likely to be white.
But anyone can get a group of friends or like-minded people together from their street, neighbourhood or town. Again, unless there is a large-scale conspiracy going on they always seem to be Asian and non-white. Street sex gangs are no better or worse than any sex offenders really so I'm not going to suggest these gangs are committing worse crimes.
But there is a common denominator in all these instances. White Brits could be part of any internet, Catholic, music band gang. But they are never part of any of these gangs we hear about in court.

How many Asians do you think were employed by the BBC during the 60s and 70s as presenters?
