We bandy the term ‘grooming gangs’ around as if all know exactly what ‘grooming’ is (we do, and it’s not sex with a child - that should be statutory rape in our view), and ‘gang’, but that’s selectively applied, along with the terms ‘rings’ and ‘pyramids’.

We take a depp dive into look at why this is harmful, and how there’s a racist element that needs acknowledging.
