Greater Manchester Police 'seeking to bring suspects in from Pakistan' over child sexual exploitation
Greater Manchester's police chief has revealed the force is actively pursuing child sexual exploitation suspects currently in Pakistan to face possible criminal charges here. Chief Constable Stephen Watson confirmed GMP was 'seeking to bring suspects in from Pakistan' but refused to elaborate further due to what he called 'judicial processes'.
For two years from early 2008, girls as young as 12 were plied with alcohol and drugs and gang-raped in rooms above takeaway shops and ferried to different flats in taxis, where cash was paid to abuse them. Police said as many as 47 girls were groomed. Chief Constable Watson was asked a question referencing child sexual exploitation and went on to speak of 'a straightforward set of predators grooming and committing awful offences against vulnerable people'.
He said he didn't want to say too much because of 'judicial process', but confirmed the force had 'announcements shortly to come on child sexual exploitation, grooming gangs and people being brought to justice'. When asked, Chief Constable Watson confirmed the force was 'seeking to bring suspects in from Pakistan' and confirmed it was 'more than one'. Asked how many, he said he couldn't comment because of judicial processes.
