They've haven't "flocked" together, they often already knew each other, eg relatives, same workplace, living on same street, going to same mosque. They were not individuals, who with great difficulty found others with the same attitudes.
Not sure it has too much to do with the age of the girls(ie paedophilia), but more to do with availability and controlling with alcohol and drugs, along with threats and use of violence. Using them for sex is one thing, but the other aspects of trafficking, use of alcohol and drugs, and threats and use of violence, take things to another level completely.
To be able to easily find other "birds" who were prepared to treat the girls in that way(outside of having sex with them), suggests something innate in that breed of "birds".
In general people would likely to be unable to find acquaintances that they could risk asking to join them in illegal activities. The risk of being reported to police would be very high.
Perhaps it's being withheld to assist investigators, but I haven't seen any indication of how the separate groups in separate parts of the country found each other. These cases tend to have happened a long time ago, before the level of social media it is today, and in some cases before the internet.
