Detectives have launched a new investigation into a former youth detention centre in County Durham amid allegations that hundreds of young inmates may have been systematically abused there in the 1970s and 80s.
Report: More victims come forward in historic abuse investigation
Police investigating historic sexual abuse at a County Durham detention centre say almost 100 alleged victims have come forward since they re-opened the inquiry earlier this year.
Around 80 detectives are examining new evidence of abuse at Medomsley Detention Centre in the 1970s and 1980s.
They are convinced there are many more victims out there, who simply can't bring themselves to talk about what happened.
