Who wrote the three-part 2017 British television drama series about a child sex abuse ring involving 47 under-age teenage girls in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England?
Rochdale child sex abuse ring The Rochdale child sex abuse ring involved under-age teenage girls in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England. Twelve men were convicted of sex trafficking and other offences including rape, trafficking girls for sex and conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child, on 8 May 2012. Forty-seven girls were identified as victims of child sexual exploitation during the police investigation. The men were British Pakistanis which led to discussion on whether the failure to investigate them was linked to the authorities' fear of being accused of racism. The girls were mainly white British. In March 2015, Greater Manchester Police apologised for its failure to investigate the child sexual exploitation allegations more thoroughly between 2008 and 2010.
