        Why do you call it grooming? They're paedophile rapists no?

        Paedolphia is the sexual attraction to pre-pubescent children, usually taken as being under 13 years of age. "Grooming" is what might otherwised be called "seducing". It's sexual assault or rape.

        Just listened to the 3.30pm news on radio1. Not one mention of who the perpetrators were. Censorship on Muslim grooming gangs by the BBC is a crime that will be discussed in classrooms of the future. Shamefull.

        Get ready for the racist comments. It’s disgusting that people are angry that a small demographic of people are over-represented in grooming gangs. Not to mention a certain religious minority which is 5% of the general population and 15% of the prison population. #Diversity

        Are you going to name all these sickos or are you going to keep pretending that they're generic 'Asians'? Quickly sweep it under the rug and don't let's talk about... eh @BBC?
