Britain will back new local inquiries into child sexual abuse across the country, the government said on Thursday, after weeks of criticism by U.S. billionaire Elon Musk stirred renewed concern about a decades-old scandal over grooming gangs.

The UK government backs local inquiries into organised child sexual abuse gangs, following controversy sparked by Elon Musk's comments.

Elon Musk forced the Government into commissioning new grooming gangs inquiries, a minister has admitted. Chris Bryant, a junior culture minister, said it was “certainly true” that the billionaire owner of X had “expedited” fresh investigations into the scandal.

The government today announced a new national-level "rapid audit" of grooming gangs, plus up to five new local inquiries. Home Secretary Yvette Cooper says the government will launch a national three-month audit, led by Dame Louise Casey, which will examine "cultural and societal drivers" of child sexual exploitation.

The home secretary announced a plan for local grooming gang inquiries and backing for victims following pressure to support them and find out why the scandal happened.
