A 12-year-old girl who was raped multiple times by different men was failed by Oldham authorities and police missed opportunities to bring her abusers to justice, a damning report has concluded.

Among its damning findings, the review has uncovered that:

The Rochdale grooming gang leader Shabir Ahmed worked as a welfare officer in Oldham unchecked for three years despite being accused of serious child sexual abuse.

Girls being drugged and violently raped were said by social workers to be ‘putting themselves at risk’.

Oldham council gave taxi driver licences to men convicted or accused of serious sexual offences involving women and children.

Shisha bars were known to be a threat - but vulnerable children as young as 13 still visited them for years.

Every person from every service paid to protect the most vulnerable and failed, should be in the dock alongside the beasts!
