UK POLICE NOT DISCIPLINED OVER ABUSE SCANDAL

Greater Manchester Police are under fire in the UK after deciding no officers will face any misconduct proceedings despite admitting failures over a major child sexual abuse scandal.

A report by the police force says sexual abuse in the town of Rochdale should have been investigated more thoroughly, and outlines a catalogue of failures.

It suggests police were 'distracted' by trying to hit targets related to burglary and other crimes.

In 2012 a gang of nine men of Pakistani and Afghan heritage were jailed over rape, trafficking and child sex abuse offences which affected dozens of vulnerable young girls in Rochdale.

And local MP Simon Danczuk says the report isn't good enough.

IN: "Nobody… 
OUT: ...raped."
