Thousands of children in England have been sexually exploited by gangs or groups of men or are at high risk of sexual exploitation, according to a report released Wednesday.
The report, which calls for urgent action to protect young people, comes amid wide public concern prompted by revelations of child abuse by a former BBC TV presenter, Jimmy Savile.
There were 2,409 victims of child sexual exploitation in gangs or groups from August 2010 to October 2011, the inquiry by the Office of the Children's Commissioner found.
Another 16,500 children in England were identified as being at high risk of sexual exploitation during the year from April 2010 to March 2011.
It was only a matter of time before this happened. Investigations into child sex abuse were obviously going to happen everywhere in the U.K. just because people were too dumb to recognize the obvious pedophile, Jimmy Savile. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, I just think people may be over-reacting about this because of the modern media.
@Tekie Scythe that's true. The children are used as toys, and sometimes even filmed. It's discusting. To be more iixact, if they don't do as told... the child is killed.

I agree with the fact that this is awful, but there's not much you can do about it. Sure you can lock up all the pedophiles and child rapists but it wont legitimately end rape, it's bound to happen time and time again, the truth hurts, but that's life.
