This title is a misrepresentation of the article. The article does not specify the sex of the children that were raped.

84% of those convicted are from middle eastern/asian background https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/quilliam-gro...

Though it's technically correct, the term Asian should not be applied here, since the suspects are almost always Pakistani in origin. Indians and Chinese and other Asians are not part of this.

I wish there was more detail. Mostly this article feels like a list of outrage quotes that might be justified but don't really tell me anything about the topic.
