Arrests Made in Second Rochdale Sex Grooming Scandal

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: A second sex grooming case has been uncovered by police who smashed the Rochdale child sex ring.

Several men have been arrested by Greater Manchester Police on suspicion of sexually abusing the same girl.

The alleged abuse is believed to have taken place over a six-year period when the girl was in her teens.

Sources who spoke to the Manchester Evening News described her as ‘extremely vulnerable’. Detectives have carried out video interviews with the girl, who told them she knew the men only by nicknames.

A string of suspects were tracked down by officers and a number of arrests have now been made.

The men are thought to be from Asian and Afro-Caribbean backgrounds.

It comes just days after nine Asian men from Rochdale and Oldham were jailed over the sexual exploitation of girls as young as 13-years-old. » | Julie Henry | Saturday, May 12, 2012
