Detective Inspector Chris Chadderton, Senior Investigating Officer for this case said: “We know that it can be daunting to report incidents of sexual abuse, but I want to reassure the public or anyone affected that we take all reports of this nature incredibly seriously.
“Victims and survivors of sexual exploitation are at the centre of any investigations we take on and it is essential that it progresses at a speed which they are comfortable with, to ensure that they feel wholly supported throughout.
“Our message will always be that we’re ready when they are, that they’ll be listened to, and that they’ll be taken seriously.”
