It's because Caplin is guilty." On January 2, 2025, the Telegraph newspaper reported that at least 1,000 girls were sexually abused by gangs of men in the town of Telford, Shropshire. It has been reported that British police decided not to investigate the cases to avoid inciting tensions. Similar crimes have also been exposed in other parts of the UK. Recently, the British Parliament voted 364 to 111 to block a new inquiry into child sexual abuse across the UK.
