Piers Morgan Slams 'Massively Exaggerated' 250,000 Grooming Gangs Victim Figure – But Says Real Scandal Is Still Horrific
Piers Morgan said the 250,000-victim claim rests on weak evidence, while supporters of Rupert Lowe’s report say it reflects decades of under-reporting.
- On Wednesday, independent MP Rupert Lowe released the 'Rape Gang Inquiry Report,' estimating that at least 250,000 girls were targeted by grooming gangs across Britain over several decades.
- Lowe's estimate relies on extrapolating local findings, such as the 2014 Jay Report identifying at least 1,400 victims in Rotherham, though critics argue the methodology relies on assumptions rather than verified counts.
- Broadcaster Piers Morgan condemned the 'horrific' scandal but labeled the 250,000 figure 'massively exaggerated,' comparing it to the '40 beheaded babies' lie and arguing it distracts from proven failures.
- Baroness Louise Casey's 2025 audit concluded authorities cannot calculate the true scale of offending due to persistent data collection and definition inconsistencies, contradicting the report's claims.
- The Master Debunker account challenged the report's narrow scope, noting that conviction samples such as 84% South Asian are stretched into wider, unsupported claims about perpetrator demographics and Islamic doctrine.
