COVER-UP: Somali Child Sex Trafficking Rings in the U.S.—Why Did the Media Go Silent After the 2012 Minnesota Bust (Video)
February 9, 2025Add comment4 min read
In 2012, federal authorities exposed a horrifying reality in Minnesota: Somali gangs trafficking American children—some as young as 12—for sex, using threats, violence, and psychological manipulation to keep them enslaved. The case rocked the Twin Cities, with federal prosecutors detailing how these girls were moved across state lines, flown to cities like Nashville, Seattle, and Columbus, and sold for sex.
The perpetrators—gangs such as the “Somali Mafia,” Somali Outlaws,” and “Lady Outlaws“—operated with impunity for over a decade before law enforcement finally intervened. This was not just a story of crime but of a systemic failure: a community isolated by language and culture, where predators thrived in silence and authorities were either unwilling or unable to act.
But the real question remains: What happened after 2012?
A Media Blackout Since 2012—Why?
Since this shocking case made headlines, similar stories of Muslim-run child sex trafficking rings have all but vanished from American media. Yet in the UK, mass-scale Muslim grooming gangs—often led by Pakistani men—continue to be exposed in cities like Rotherham, Rochdale, and Telford, where thousands of young British girls were raped and enslaved for decades while police and politicians looked the other way.
