Rotherham child abuse scandal: Police boss admits he had no idea what was going on

"MPs said that his denials were hard to believe following a report that detailed how 1,400 children in Rotherham were sexually abused over 16 years."

So he missed 1400 instances of child abuse?

Well, I guess there IS a real Sherlock Holmes!

From Wikipedia:

"The Inquiry's initial report was published on 26 August 2014 and condemned the failure of the authorities in Rotherham to act effectively against the abuse and even, in some cases, to acknowledge that it was taking place. It conservatively estimated that 1,400 children had been sexually exploited in the town between 1997 and 2013, predominantly by gangs of British-Pakistani men. Abuses described by the report included abduction, rape and sex trafficking of children. Members of the British-Pakistani community condemned both the sexual abuse and that it had been covered up for fear of 'giving oxygen' to racism."
