Investigators are working to trace a total of 426 grooming gang members who abused an estimated 1,500 victims in Rotherham.

The National Crime Agency (NCA) investigation into sexual exploitation between 1997 and 2013 has so far resulted in 13 convictions, as prosecutions continue.

The operation, codenamed Stovewood, could cost £90m if the government continues its current funding until 2024.

Home Office 'failed to act on Rotherham grooming gang information' The NCA has so far identified 151 “designated suspects”, and has listed 275 others who it has not been able to name. It is currently running 22 separate investigations under Operation Stovewood, with around 290 victims engaging with officers.

Described as “unprecedented in its scale and complexity” because of the vulnerability of victims and witnesses recalling abuse dating back up to 20 years, a spokesperson for the investigation said 24 suspects have so far been charged and 12 have been arrested and bailed, or released under investigation.

(Note: the Alexis Jay Report disclosed courtroom transcripts with at least 2 victims saying that police and councillors also abused them. Grooming gangs are 'supply side infrastructure' for Britain's PedoMafia )

The article is really nice. I read another one two or three days ago where it said that they only talked to a tiny faction of survivors. Will try to find it, and edit the comment.

i think theres some encouraging signs the British establishment is pulling its finger out and prosecuting more perps https://www.cps.gov.uk/cps/news/cps-report-shows-more-offenders-are-being-successfully-prosecuted-sexual-crimes-ever

At the same time, Sarah Champion, the MP for Rotherham, has voiced her concern that the number of of perps receiving custodial sentences has dropped:

[She] has expressed concern the number of people receiving custodial sentences for child sexual abuse (CSA) has fallen despite such crimes continuing to happen on a "massive scale".

Rotherham MP Sarah Champion (pictured) said fewer cases are being passed on to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) and police "cannot cope" with the volume of offences.

Ms Champion said figures she obtained from the Ministry of Justice show the number of CSA offenders receiving a custodial sentence at crown court dropped 4.7% in 2017 - the first decline since 2013.

Thanks for the link. Please see my edited comment above. I will submit it as a seperate post now, so users will be able to read it together with your post.

Yes, I think that public pressure has led to some results. Sadly, we will need to keep the pressure up. I was actually shocked when I read the number of 'sexual exploitation cases' in Bradford, Yorkshire - Bradford is a rather small town, like Telford, and they had more than 1,000 in a short period of time. :-/

Btw, @MolochHunter, was it you who did a post some months ago where all convictions of child rape gang members were listed? Looking for that post, thought I'd ask you before searching your submission history. ;-)

Thanks.
