Twelve years after another former detective quit to blow the lid off the Rochdale grooming scandal, the woman quit a Greater Manchester child protection unit.
The detective constable left during a “complex” probe involving five alleged victims that began in 2018. There are no charges as yet.
Leaving has enabled her to now speak about fresh allegations the force, which was last week rapped over its Rochdale failings, is under-resourcing investigations of “serial, serious child abuse”.
The unnamed officer’s claims mirror some of those made by former GMP DC Maggie Oliver after she quit in 2011 over fears it was not taking child sex grooming gang allegations seriously.
Ms Oliver turned whistleblower over failings in investigations into mainly Asian male gangs who abused young white girls throughout the town over several years.
