I don't understand how this is not being reported on any major news outlet (having checked the BBC, Telegraph, Guardian, Independent and Mail). It doesn't even appear to be on one of the sub-pages.

A 29 people abuse ring sounds, to me at least, like a huge number of people to be systematically targeting and abusing vulnerable young people - even more so given the relatively small population of a place like Huddersfield.

Small comfort for those who suffered but at least the authorities have acted in this instance rather than sweep it under the carpet.

You don't?

I'd say it's fairly obvious.
Remember, as any left/liberal wing or self interested media person will tell you, you have to bend over backward to avoid blaming all foreigners for anything that any foreigner may have done otherwise you look, at best, stupid and ignorant, at worst racist. And we must remember that they are all probably born in Britain because that makes all the difference in that they are citizens of this country. Above all, remember that rather than tarring people with the same brush because it's easier than thinking, try and understand what it is that makes them the way they are in order to deal with the issues more successfully.
