The chief prosecutor in one of Britain's worst child sexual exploitation cases will tonight warn no community is safe from sexual predators.
Nazir Afzal OBE, the Crown Prosecution Service's chief prosecutor for north-west England, led the case against nine men who were jailed last month for targeting five victims, including one as young as 13.
The gang received a total of 77 years for their roles in the abuse of the vulnerable girls in Rochdale, who were plied with food, alcohol, drugs and gifts so they could be passed around a group of men for sex.
