Rochdale Exploitation Grooming

Maggie Oliver, who resigned from her job over the scandal, directly addressed GMP Chief Constable Stephen Watson during a press conference on Monday.

Girls were “left at the mercy” of paedophile grooming gangs for years in Rochdale because of failings by senior police and council bosses, a report has said.

Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham said the report was “hard to read” and it gave a “distressing” account of how many young people were failed.
