Senior police officers fear that government pressure to reinvestigate closed historic cases of gang grooming could make it harder to catch those targeting children today.
The government on Thursday announced more reviews of past cases and also that victims, whose cases did not end in prosecutions, will be given a new right of appeal to have their investigations reopened.
It came with police figures showing that just a fraction of child sexual abuse allegations – 0.6% – relate to grooming and abuse by male groups or gangs. Multiple senior police sources told the Guardian of concern that teams combating sexual violence against women and children may be diverted from their work.
One described it as “kneejerking”, another said the government was reacting to a “right-wing driven, political cause”. Another said despite the government having pledged more money, it was only a fraction of what was needed.
