Two Politicians And Police Officer Accused Of Molesting Abuse Victims In Rotherham

A corrupt police officer and two local politicians including one serving councillor have been accused of having sex wit abused victims in Rotherham. The PC has also allegedly passed on information to gang who are believed to have abused 1,400 children and vulnerable girls over a 16 year period. The abuse scandal in Rotherham is considered to be the worst in Britain's history with experts estimating 1,400 girls fell into the clutches of paedophiles between 1997 to 2013. Many of the victims, often from children homes or troubled backgrounds, were plied with alcohol or drugs before being used for sex or pimped to others. Some were told they and their families will be killed if they spoke out while police and council workers have found to turn an blind eye. Victims also say their abusers are still walking in the streets of the town. The town's MP said the victims of Rothrhan child abuse scandal may number as many as 2,000.

The most high profile resignation was that of South Yorkshire's police and crime commissioner Shaun Wright, who was Rotherham councillor overseeing children services between 2005 and 2010.
