UK ONLINE GROOMING CASES HIT RECORD HIGH

New research shows the number of online grooming crimes against children hit a record high in the UK in the year to March.

Children's charity the NSPCC says there were 6,350 offences - up 82% since the same period in 2017.

It's calling for MPs to back long-awaited online safety legislation when it's debated in parliament next month.

In total, 150 games, apps, and websites were used to target children, with 5,500 offences taking place against those of primary school-age.

Rani Govender from the NSPCC says lockdowns during the pandemic also contributed to the trend.
