Troubling History of UK's Grooming Gangs 

Grooming gangs are organised set of criminals who groom, exploit, manipulate, and abuse girls across England, often targeting young and homeless individuals. These gangs employ coercion, psychological manipulation, and intimidation to control victims, trapping them in cycles of abuse. 

Victims are frequently lured with gifts, false promises of affection, or a sense of protection, only to be subjected to physical, emotional, and sexual exploitation, making escape extremely difficult.

The inquiry will engage law enforcement agencies, social services, and survivor groups to build a comprehensive understanding of the failures that have allowed grooming gangs to operate unchecked.
