Police chief admitted force ignored sex abuse by grooming gangs for 30 years | Daily Mail Online
A woman whose sexual exploitation as a child was ignored by police over fears of increasing racial tensions in Rotherham has said the force ‘aided and abetted’ the abuse of hundreds of children.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) upheld six complaints against South Yorkshire Police by a woman abused as a child for several years, starting in 2003.
According to a leaked report seen by PA and first reported by The Times, the watchdog said it was ‘very clear that you were sexually exploited by Asian men’ and found police were aware of suspects but ‘took insufficient action to prevent you from harm’.
