IPCC probe 14 police officers over Rotherham abuse

FOURTEEN police officers have been referred to the police watchdog in the wake of the Rotherham child sex abuse scandal.

The Independent Police Complaints Commission will investigate the conduct of officers involved in cases examined by Prof Alexis Jay’s report.

A police spokeswoman said: “South Yorkshire Police has now referred 14 people to the IPCC and may make further referrals should the criteria be met.

“Both South Yorkshire Police and the independent investigation will remain in constant dialogue with the IPCC.”
