Police boss 'must quit over abuse' in English town

South Yorkshire police and crime commissioner (PCC) Shaun Wright should quit following the “devastating” report into child abuse in Rotherham, the UK's Labour Party has said.

Mr Wright was the Labour council cabinet member responsible for children’s services in Rotherham from 2005 to 2010, in the middle of a 16-year period when, according to a report released yesterday, 1,400 youngsters suffered wide-scale sexual exploitation including gang rapes, grooming and trafficking.
