When doing some other fact checking the other day, I stumbled across the nationalities of gang rape suspects (charged, in the court pipeline). Apparently men of British origin only account for 17.5% of the 7677 total suspects (2010-2018). Which is interesting. If it was that bad then, it would also be interesting to have some more recent figures.
Noteable countries of origin were in Eastern Europe (possibly because pre Boriswave, most immigration came from the EU.) plus over representation from Nigeria, Somalia and Ghana compared to the total within the population.
Sweden, France and Australia are also over represented. Sweden and France were much earlier than us with high levels of non EU migration so it would be useful to know if these perpetrators had recently acquired citizenship or not. We know we have received asylum applications from non EU men on the run for serious crimes committed in the EU.
That makes 82.5% of gang rapes carried out by men not registered as UK citizens. Given the number of gang rapes you can find on a quick google search by British citizens of foreign origin, it would be really interesting to know what proportion are by British origin men or not. But the authorities refuse to gather that data for reasons so I guess we’ll never know.
Note.
*We don’t know the exact origin of 75% of the total are from as they are marked as ‘unknown’ but given that UK police and the CPS have full access to British perpetrators records, it would be highly unlikely for them to be British citizens.
