More cover up (and no not with burkas) by a UK police department in sexual abuse scandal, bigger than the one in Rotherham!
The already arrested sex pervs from the last scandal covered up by the Rotherham police due to political correctness mandates.
South Yorkshire Police accused of covering up widespread sexual abuse in Sheffield on a scale ‘bigger than Rotherham’
- South Yorkshire Police accused of ignoring reports of sexual exploitation
- Former officer claims the ‘size of exploitation was massive in Sheffield’
- Tony Brookes, who served for 30 years, said it is ‘bigger than Rotherham’
- Force allegedly received 200 reports of potential victims from 2007 to 2010
South Yorkshire Police has been accused of ignoring hundreds of reports of sexual abuse against young girls in a widespread cover-up deemed ‘bigger than Rotherham’.
Tony Brookes, a former police constable with 30 years’ service, claims the force knew that girls as young as 12-years-old were being raped and assaulted but chose to ignore it.
It is understood that more than 200 girls were reported to the force as being potential victims of sexual exploitation in Sheffield, mainly between 2007 and 2010.
Mr Brookes, who has now left the force, said he believes the ‘size of the exploitation was massive in Sheffield’, adding: ‘I think bigger than in Rotherham’.
South Yorkshire Police came under fire during the inquiry into the Rotherham sex abuse scandal, during which it emerged that 1,400 children were abused in the town over a 16-year period.
The force’s former Police and Crime Commissioner Shaun Wright resigned in the wake of Professor Alexis Jay’s report into the widespread abuse, which found that authorities had failed to act after hundreds of young girls were forced into prostitution and trafficking.
Now, Mr Brookes and fellow former South Yorkshire Police officers have claimed a similar large-scale sex abuse scandal has been ongoing in Sheffield.
Tonight, Rotherham MP Sarah Champion said on Twitter: ‘Very very disappointed to hear that South Yorkshire Police let down the children of Sheffield too, but sadly not surprised.’

I’ve just been reading the latest update about this horrendous nightmare and you know something the government and council leaders make me sick, all those years and no suspicion was raised countless amounts of reports and obvious signs, peoples lifes have been ruined something which should be a good time in their life has been taken from them.£3million isn’t going to solve what’s already happened and it will neither stop what’s happening because of people are too scared to say the truth about what this whole situation is down to! Immigrants are coming here and doing this and getting away with this and laughing at this so called country and we as a community and as a nation are too scared to open our mouth because of racism, well in actual fact its called having an opinion just like they have with us doing certain things, sickens me how the police or social care etc can not protect these poor children. Any this is just a slight little piece of my mind. Thanks
