More details
When the scale of Jimmy Savilles abuse of children came to light it made headlines for months to follow.
The most recent child exploitation ring case in Telford is feared to be the largest on its kind in British legal history. This follows similar crimes being uncovered in Rotherham, Oxford and other towns and cities across the UK.
The victims of these rings have had their lives ruined, and they deserve a full inquiry into why they were failed by those whose job it was to protect them.
