Truth, sourced and survivor-led

This site is an independent companion to the Rape Gang Inquiry Report, a 219-page document published in June 2026 by an Inquiry chaired by Rupert Lowe MP and led on a day-to-day basis by survivor-turned-activist Sammy Woodhouse, with a panel of MPs and subject-matter experts.

The Inquiry was funded by public donation, not by the state. Its first-phase report draws on hearings with survivors, parents, whistleblowers and named experts, and on a structured analysis of court records, serious case reviews, and the prior body of official inquiry — including the Jay Report (Rotherham, 2014), the Crowther Report (Telford, 2022) and Baroness Casey's 2025 national audit.

Our editorial principles

• Every statistic and quotation on this site is attributed to the report or to a named public source, with a page reference.
• Estimates are labelled as estimates. Contested figures are presented with the report's own caveats.
• All survivor testimony is anonymised. We do not publish anything that could identify a victim.
• Figures relating to perpetrator heritage describe convicted offenders in the analysed group-based CSE cases, not communities as a whole.
• The interactive map plots only the 149 districts the Inquiry itself names in Appendix IV.

What this site is not

It is not affiliated with His Majesty's Government, with the Inquiry team, or with any political party. It is not a substitute for reading the report itself, which we link from every page. It does not name suspects, unconvicted individuals, or any minor.

Updating the data

District data, testimony excerpts and recommendations live as JSON files in the repository and are intended to be updated as further phases of the Inquiry report. The structure is documented in the project README.
