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.
