Police officers are under investigation for allegedly sexually abusing children, South Yorkshire’s Chief Constable has revealed.
Stephen Watson disclosed this week that a number of police officers are the subject of probes by the Independent Police Complaints Commission into allegations that they abused children in Rotherham.
The exact number has not been disclosed, but Chief Con Watson made the admission during a discussion about the child sexual exploitation scandal in Rotherham, which was laid bare in an independent report which found that 1,400 children were abused by men of largely Pakistani heritage while those in authority failed to act. Professor Alexis Jay’s damning report, published in 2014, found that police ‘treated victims with contempt’ and failed to investigate while Rotherham council failed to protect vulnerable children.

Casey report came out in 2014, its now nearly 2017, so how long does it take to carry out an investigation into police Officers Conduct. I suppose we should be happy with SYP, at least they have started an investigation. What happened to all those social workers and Councillors who were aware of what was going on ?.
