There are conflicting reports about the number of child sex abuse victims in Telford and other towns.

Telford's MP Lucy Allan said "many victims do not come forward" and so police numbers would "never reflect the full scale", while the former chief prosecutor for north west England Nazir Afzal said there could be "hundreds, if not thousands (of girls) across the country".

Former Blackburn MP Jack Straw said the gangs were "particularly prevalent among the Pakistani-heritage community" and, in some towns, the police and social services "really covered their eyes with disastrous consequences" to the crimes.
