What's the motivation for European men travelling to Asia to abuse girls, though? I'd suggest that it is the availability of the girls there, the fact that they can abuse girls or boys there in a way that they can't here, not because they're from a different culture that they view as degenerate.
When I lived in Cuba, I saw many very troubling situations with old European men - predominantly Spanish or Italian - lying by a pool or in a bar with a girl no more than 13 or 14. They paraded in public, and clearly didn't think they were doing anything wrong, or at least were not ashamed of themselves. And the harsh truth is that most of the time these girls' parents knew full well what they were doing, and in many cases encouraged it because of the money it brought in. It's a very very different dynamic.
That's about economics more than culture. Indian families aren't too thrilled about selling their kids into indentured servitude either, but it's about survival.
How on earth do you know it wasn't 'condoned' by sections of this 'community'? there are many anecdotal stories coming out that at the very least their co workers on the taxis, fast food outlets were aware, some indeed condoning or turning a blind eye. of course it is part of a wider abusive culture towards young girls with no power or support, but these attempts to minimise the role of elements of some closed communities with arcane religious strictures doesn't help..
In the UK it seems very likely that there are cultural elements that make this particular form of sexual predation more prevalent with Pakistani men. This probably has less to do with race and more to do with there being relatively few Pakistani men hanging around night-clubs waiting to pounce on drunk women, whether or not they habitually share their victims with their mates.
I think it's pretty hard to claim that there is more evidence that this sort of behaviour is condoned by the Pakistani community when it would not be condoned by another community. Look at the
disgusting reaction to Ched Evans being sent down for raping a girl who was barely conscious, procured for him by a mate and who was filmed being raped by him by two more of their friends who had turned up when they got the phone call.
Some men rape when they think they can get away with it. Unsurprisingly, this is very common when they're part of a society that openly defends men who rape and denigrates those women who complain about it.
We're told that the methods used in the Rochdale case are most commonly used by Pakistani men - yet we are also told that this is the first case of its kind. Why is that? How is it that we know so much about how these men operate but we've never bothered to prosecute any of them before? Perhaps it's because
the police don't take rape seriously, no matter what the colour of the rapists?
Some people think this is a problem all year round, others seem only to be interested when there is a racial angle available, misogyny being far too trivial a topic to interest them normally. What they don't say is as illuminating as what they do.
