The Independent Police Complaint Commission (IPCC) says it has had 47 referrals from South Yorkshire #Police since the publication of the Jay Report last year, involving more than 100 allegations.
Investigators looking at how the police treated complaints of child sexual exploitation in #Rotherham say they are now working to identify more than 100 officers.
The Independent Police Complaint Commission (IPCC) said it is continuing to examine police conduct exactly a year on from the publication of the Jay Report, which shocked the nation with the scale of child rape, trafficking and grooming it uncovered in the South Yorkshire town.
Professor Alexis Jay’s report described how more than 1,400 #children were sexually exploited by gangs of mainly Asian males in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013.
And it was scathing about a culture among police and council officials which ignored the industrial scale of #abuse, instead treating the victims of child sexual #exploitation (CSE) as troublesome teenagers.
The IPCC says it has received 47 referrals from South Yorkshire Police since the publication of the Jay Report, involving more than 100 allegations.
A spokeswoman said: ‘Analysis of all the referrals has so far identified more than 60 officers.
‘Further assessments are being carried out to establish the specific allegations against these individuals to determine what further actions are needed. Work is ongoing to identify more than 100 officers who are referenced in the referrals but are unnamed.’
The Jay Report was commissioned by the council after a high profile CSE trial and a series of damning reports about what was happening in the town.
