London Police Revisit 44 Cases of Child Sex Abuse

London Briefs/

Forty-four suspects have been arrested by the police in northern England in connection with allegations of child sex abuse between 1995 and 2002.

According to West Yorkshire Police in a statement today, 36 men and three women were arrested across the towns of Kirklees, Bradford and Leeds over the last two weeks. Five other men were arrested at the end of last year over the same investigation.

Police disclosed that the arrested suspects have been interviewed and released under investigation, which centres on allegations made by four women of sexual abuse committed against them as children mainly in the Dewsbury and Batley area of Kirklees.

Detective Inspector Seth Robinson, who is leading the investigation, said protecting children remained the force’s “top priority”. He hoped that the arrests “reassure our local communities”.
