Thirty-two men of mostly “Asian” heritage are appearing in court for a range of historic rape, trafficking, drugs, and other alleged offences following a child sexual exploitation probe.
“Thirty-two men… largely from the Kirklees area, have been charged with a variety of offences as part of Operation Tourway, an investigation into non-recent child sexual exploitation in parts of West Yorkshire,” the regional police force reported in an official news bulletin.
“The allegations against the defendants are from 1999 to 2012 and involve offences committed against eight female victims, who were aged between 13 and 16 years old at the time of the alleged offences,” the force added, noting that some of the victims “were also subjected to offences when they were young adults.”
