UK to hold inquiry into organised child sexual abuse

'Grooming gangs' of men prey on often young and vulnerable women

- 

The British government announced Saturday it will hold a national inquiry into organised child sexual abuse, something it has long been pressured to do by opposition politicians — and Elon Musk.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he would accept a recommendation from an independent reviewer for a judge-led inquiry with the power to summon witnesses.

Starmer said he would “look again” and hold a probe into what the press have dubbed “grooming gangs” of men who prey on often young and vulnerable women.
