Former detective constable Margaret Oliver speaking to ITV News
Hundreds of child abusers are walking the streets of Manchester because police have failed to investigate claims of abuse, an ITV News investigation has found.Greater Manchester Police (GMP) has been accused of covering up their failure to act on claims that gangs of Asian men abused young white girls over a 10-year period.Victims say they have identified offenders but police have been reluctant to act.Two former detectives have told ITV News that senior officers were not interested in following up allegations because the crime is “difficult to prosecute”.
GMP Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy agreed that child sexual exploitation is a difficult crime to prosecute and claimed his officers “developed a mindset that victims in these sorts of cases would always been unreliable.”
