Delays in child sex abuse cases uncovered at Manchester police

Significant delays in the investigation of child protection cases have been uncovered by inspectors within one of Britain's police forces.

Officers at Greater Manchester Police (GMP), which was criticised in a serious case review in 2013 for failing girls who were passed around for sex by Rochdale sex grooming gangs, told inspectors that its hi-tech crime unit was taking too long to analyse computers and other media.
