In and around Newcastle, another British town, there have been 700 victims who were raped and forced into prostitution by grooming gangs - and these are only the ones we know of.

Grooming gangs abused more than 700 women and girls around Newcastle after police appeared to punish victims

'Sexual exploitation is happening in towns and cities across the country,' serious case review warns

Grooming gangs abused more than 700 women and girls around Newcastle with “arrogant persistence” after police appeared to punish victims while letting the perpetrators walk free, a case review has found.

The report into the response by authorities to child sexual exploitation found that before a large-scale police operation was launched in 2014, officers’ actions were sending an “unhelpful” message to perpetrators.

It warned that abusers are still preying on girls across the UK, and called for urgent action from the Government.
