More details

Every single perpetrator who abused a child in Rotherham must be charged. It is unacceptable that only 5 men were charged in relation to the horrific sexual abuse of 1,400 children.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The investigation of crime is an operational policing matter.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
