In a speech delivered in the House of Lords, Lord Pearson of Rannoch claimed that roughly 250,000 white British girls have been raped over the past 25 years, alleging that more than 90% of the perpetrators were Muslim.
The remarks were made in the context of long-running debates over grooming gangs, failures by authorities, and whether political sensitivity prevented earlier intervention.
Lord Pearson’s comments echo arguments raised by other critics who say police, social services, and politicians avoided confronting patterns of abuse for fear of being accused of racism—allowing victims to be failed repeatedly. The claims themselves remain highly contested and are the subject of ongoing public, legal, and academic dispute in the UK.
