Fact checked by The People's Voice Community

Shocking evidence has been uncovered revealing that the London Mayor Sadiq Khan has been covering up a grooming gang scandal.

An investigation by the Daily Express and and MyLondon, reveals not only evidence of child grooming networks operating in the capital, but evidence that Mayor Sadiq Khan and the Metropolitan Police have repeatedly denied that they exist.

According to the investigation, Khan had read reports about young girls being raped in hotels by groups of men while publicly denying there were any grooming gangs in the capital.

Evidence shows that the children were plied with drugs and were threatened with their lived.

The Express reports: Grooming gang whistleblower Maggie Oliver told the Express that the cases followed “the same pattern” she had seen with Greater Manchester Police’s cover-up of the Rochdale scandal. Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp MP, accused Khan of being part of a “cover-up” and called for accountability.

He said: “It is shameful that the Mayor of London is claiming to have no indication that grooming gangs are operating in London despite personally responding to reports containing evidence of victims abused by grooming gangs in the city. It is clear Sadiq Khan is facilitating a cover up.”

Reform UK MP Lee Anderson also said the mayor had “serious questions to answer.” He said: “There is real, credible evidence that grooming gangs exist in London, and for the Mayor to have potentially turned a blind eye is utterly shameful”.

He added that the UK could not “go on making the same catastrophic errors we saw in Rochdale, Rotherham, and all over the country” and demanded victims receive “proper justice

The mayor and the Metropolitan Police have consistently claimed to have “no reports” of Rochdale or Rotherham-style rape gangs in the capital, with Khan suggesting there was “no indication” they exist. However, in the pages of four different His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services reports from 2016-2025, which the Mayor of London personally responded to, we found details of six potential victims. 

When these case studies were assessed by Rochdale whistleblower detective Maggie Oliver and care professional and author Chris Wild, they found “red flags” of grooming gang abuse. Oliver told us she was certain three victims could be described as victims of a grooming gang.

Based on on-the-ground assessments of the Met’s handling of sexual abuse cases from the start of Khan’s tenure to this year, the Inspectorate reports explain, often in horrific detail, how police were slow to react to evidence that girls as young as 13 were exploited by gangs of predatory men. 

Case studies describe children being plied with drugs and alcohol, raped in hotels by groups and having their lives threatened. 

Sadiq Khan has publicly indicated he read all of these documents in public statements he made in response to the reports, which often criticised the Met. After the Express/MyLondon contacted the Metropolitan Police for comment about these inconsistencies, the Metropolitan Police Commissioner appeared before the London Assembly and reversed the force’s longstanding stance that it had “not seen” grooming gang cases in London.

Answering an off-topic question from a Labour Assembly Member, Sir Mark Rowley revealed it had a “steady flow” of live multi-offender child sexual exploitation investigations and a “very significant” number of cases that would need to be reinvestigated as a result of the Home Office’s grooming gangs review.

Oliver said she wasn’t surprised that examples of grooming gangs were hiding in plain sight having faced a lengthy battle to get justice for the victims of similar groups in Rochdale. 

”I came to realize that everybody at the top 100% knew and wanted to cover it up,” she said. 

“I think the Met is the last bastion of being able to cover up, because I have no doubt from the work we do [at the Maggie Oliver Foundation charity supporting survivors and] from what I’ve read [in the investigation’s findings] that there is a similar pattern of abuse in [London]. I don’t know how they’ve managed to cover it up for so long, but it doesn’t surprise me.”

Chris Wild, a care professional who works with vulnerable children in London, claimed the victims mentioned in the reports were just the tip of the iceberg.

After reading the case studies he said: “It’s happening all over London [and] so much so much more than anywhere else in the country.
