Rochdale child grooming scandal 'one of the greatest failures of our society', says Rushi Sunak
More than a decade on, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said the Rochdale child grooming scandal 'remains one of the greatest failures of our society'.
A nine-strong gang of Asian men were convicted of sex offences against girls in 2012. For two years from early 2008, girls as young as 12 were plied with alcohol and drugs and gang-raped in rooms above takeaway shops and ferried to different flats in taxis, where cash was paid to abuse them. Police said as many as 47 girls were groomed.
Part of the plan will see specialist officers assist local police forces to solve child sexual exploitation investigations as part of the new grooming gangs taskforce, as Mr Sunak warned that for too long 'political correctness has stopped us from weeding out vile criminals who prey on children and young women'.
"I want to make clear to every child, young girl and parent, we not rest until everyone, in every part of our country, is able to grow up in a safe environment." What are Greater Manchester Police saying? GMP welcomed the announcement and said the force would continue to 'fight, prevent, and reduce child sexual exploitation and support survivors across Greater Manchester'.
