Throughout the entire investigation, over 25 children were identified and safeguarded by detectives from the Met’s Specialist Crime. They were aged between 14 and 17 years old.
Detective Chief Inspector Laura Hillier, from The Met’s Specialist Crime, said: “This investigation has brought justice to a man who used the lives of young and vulnerable people for his own personal gain. We focused on rescuing these children who had no option but to do as they were told through fear of violence from those controlling them.
