yes, but what are "grooming gangs"?
A racist idea about immigrants while most grooming and assault happens inside families and other close relations. Thats for germany i dont know about others. Its a dogwhistle used by white man to hide their own horrifying crimes.
You are aware that Epstein and his friends constituted a grooming gang. They’re not just some myth, they’re a real and pervasive problem. Human trafficking is a pervasive and growing problem, and all of it is carried out by these gangs.
But that happend mostly in the US. In germany that kind of crime gets punished. Till now at least.
Grooming gangs are a global phenomenon. Andrew (formerly known as Prince) is not an American. Loads of other friends of Epstein were not. And that is only one gang. Many others are far less known. People who think that because Epstein is dead the problem is over are deluding themselves.
