Police chief warns of more Rotherham-style abuse cases


Norfolk’s police chief says there could be tens of thousands of UK child victims each year
More child sexual exploitation scandals like the one that happened in Rotherham will be uncovered in the coming months, a police chief has said.
Norfolk Chief Constable Simon Bailey told the Guardian that child sex crimes had “for too long been hidden”.
He also said teachers and doctors should do more to spot signs of abuse.
At least 1,400 children were sexually exploited in Rotherham from 1997 to 2013, mainly by gangs of men of Pakistani heritage.
