ON 'TENTERHOOKS' AS 100s OF UK CASES BEING REVIEWED
A REVIEW is taking place as to whether child sexual offence cases or reports in Derbyshire could be linked to the national grooming gangs inquiry.
News of the Derbyshire police-led review comes after it was warned Derby was on “tenterhooks” to know if gangs were operating in the city or county.
Nationally, hundreds of previously closed investigations into group-based child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) are being reviewed as part of Operation Beaconport. Almost 1,300 cases have so far been referred for further investigation.
A national inquiry into the scandal was launched by the Government earlier this year.
Derbyshire police have neither confirmed nor denied whether there are any local links to the grooming gangs scandal.
