Five retired Greater Manchester Police (GMP) officers have been arrested in connection with the sexual exploitation of a young girl in the 1960s, sparking widespread outrage and an urgent call for justice.
The arrests come after months of painstaking investigation by GMP’s specialist officers, following allegations made by a courageous woman who was under the age of 16 at the time the abuse began.
