A recent report has revealed that girls were subjected to the predation of grooming gangs for years due to failures by senior police and council leaders. The review, spanning from 2004 to 2013, exposes a series of flawed investigations by Greater Manchester Police (GMP).
The report underscores the apparent indifference of local authorities toward hundreds of identified potential victims, particularly when they were targeted by Asian men. GMP has issued an apology and emphasised that such cases are handled differently today.
The review also identifies 96 men still considered a potential risk to children, acknowledging that this represents only a portion of those involved in the abuse. Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is calling for disciplinary action against officers, council officials, and some prosecutors in the North West who "failed in their duties." He commended whistleblowers, including health worker Sara Rowbotham and former GMP detective Maggie Oliver, who bravely raised concerns despite facing criticism from authorities.
Peter Cardwell speaks with former met detective Peter Bleksley and political theorist Ralph Schoelhammer.
