UK MP Rupert Lowe (Picture from X) UK MP Rupert Lowe has read out testimonies from victims of the UK's alleged grooming gang scandal, claiming that several survivors said race and religion played a role in the abuse they suffered.Speaking about the testimonies, Lowe read out one victim's account: "Comments were constantly made suggesting that white girls, the Christian girls, were viewed as having fewer morals or lower values, whereas Muslim girls were described by some of the men as having dignity and higher moral standing. These comparisons were used to justify the way I was treated and to further humiliate and control me."Lowe later outlined his next steps following the publication, describing as a "rape gang" inquiry report.In a post on X, he wrote: "The Rape Gang Inquiry - what happens next. I intend to use my parliamentary privilege to name perpetrators and their enablers in the chamber.
This will be done incredibly carefully with our legal team involved every step of the way to ensure that no future prosecutions are jeopardised. We are cooperating with the authorities in order to help cases be opened and reopened, but my faith in the system to independently deliver justice is not high.That is why we are pursuing private prosecutions and civil litigation."He also added, "A target list has been identified, and it continues to grow. This all has to be handled very carefully, for obvious reasons, but I am determined to act. We have had enough talk, now we need to act. Our aim is straightforward. Put people in prison. Deliver justice. Finally. We will act. Not talk."Lowe also called for offenders involved in the grooming gang cases to be deported."Our inquiry report proves that without doubt there is an undeniable link between religion and the rape gangs.
Islam. As a country, we need to find the courage to finally say so. The mass rape of vulnerable working class white girls by gangs of primarily Pakistani Muslim men is pure unfettered evil. Our report outlines in great detail what has happened, why it happened and what we need to do to stop it from happening again. This is an important day."Reiterating his intention to pursue legal action, Lowe said he would use his position as an MP to push for accountability."I intend to use my parliamentary privilege to name perpetrators and their enablers in the chamber. This will be done incredibly carefully with our legal team involved every step of the way to ensure that no future prosecutions are jeopardised. We are cooperating with the authorities in order to help cases be opened and reopened, but my faith in the system to independently deliver justice is not high...That is why we are pursuing private prosecutions and civil litigation.
