(BBC) A claim by the home secretary that UK child grooming gangs were “almost all British-Pakistani men” was misleading, the press regulator has ruled.
The Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO) instructed the Mail on Sunday to publish a correction to an opinion piece written by Suella Braverman in April.
The correction now links the claim to high-profile cases like Rotherham.
A source close to Ms Braverman called the IPSO ruling “perverse.”
The source told the BBC: “The home secretary referred [in the Mail on Sunday (MoS) article] to the ‘grooming gangs phenomenon’ such as the high-profile cases in Rochdale and Rotherham.”
