The findings from Dame Louise Casey’s "rapid" three month audit into the scale child sexual exploitation in England and Wales has been desribed as "damning" by the Home Secretary Yvette Cooper as she formally announced a full national inquiry.
Addressing MPs in the commons on Monday, Cooper offered an "unequivocal apology for the unimaginable pain and suffering", of the victims and survivors.
Baroness Casey’s review into child sex abuse by grooming gangs found suspects were often “disproportionately likely” to be Asian men, the Home Secretary has said.
The national audit looking at the scale of grooming gangs across the country was first announced in January as part of a series of measures to tackle the issue.
