Rotherham: Grooming gang detective cleared of misconduct

The last of 47 police officers to be investigated over their handling of historic allegations of child sex abuse in Rotherham has been cleared of misconduct.

Former Det Sgt David Walker had been accused of not following up tip-offs about grooming gangs in the town.

A misconduct panel found he had acted appropriately with any information.

Rotherham MP Sarah Champion said the result would be a “bitter disappointment” for abuse victims.
