LONDON (Reuters) -British police on Friday said they had arrested 10 men in Northern England in connection with child sexual abuse offences reported to have occurred from 1994 to 1997, in the wake of a series of investigations into organised child sexual exploitation that have led to changes in how such cases are handled.
The men, aged between 49 and 71 and all from Bradford in West Yorkshire, have since been released on bail pending further enquiries, the police said.
The allegations concern six victims aged 13 to 15 at the time.
“Child sexual abuse and exploitation is an abhorrent and heinous crime,” said Detective Chief Inspector Vicky Greenbank of Bradford District Police.
