IN JANUARY 2025, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper commissioned an audit led by Baroness Louise Casey to examine existing data and evidence to draw a comprehensive picture of the nature, scale and profile of group-based child sexual abuse offending identified by police and agencies and equip law enforcement with the information and understanding they need to combat these crimes.
Robbie Moore, MP for Keighley since 2019, told the BBC that “the scale of child sexual abuse and exploitation across the Bradford district is feared to “dwarf that of Rotherham.”
