And apparently, that's also a bit true. You're right, it wasn't the police, it was journalists (proper journalists, not white supremacist thugs with delusions of grandeur). Mea culpa. I don't suppose you know a good recipe for crow?
But I skimmed your article, and watched the whole video. Firstly, I have to say that the way that poor bastard was treated was appalling.
Secondly, it's pretty clear from his testimony in the video that the cover-up of this issue is about much more than race or religion. He specifically states around the 28:30 mark that the authorities are focused on child grooming as a religious issue (i.e. Muslim gangs), but that the problem is much bigger than that. The impression I received is that the attempt to cover up these issues is less about a fear of appearing racist, and more about a fear of how many people in the establishment - and in Britain that's usually the white, public school educated men - might also have their sordid crimes dragged into the light of day.
