British police, investigating allegations of historic child sex
abuse, say more than 14-hundred people have been named as suspects.
They include dozens of politicians and TV stars.
‘Operation Hydrant’ has been set up to allow detectives to establish
an over-arching investigation into historical crimes by those in
powerful positions.
Chief Constable Simon Bailey, Head of Child Protection at National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) is leading ‘Operation Hydrant’:
“It means that victims more so that ever before are having the
confidence to come forward and report abuse. And they can be reassured
that when they come forward and report their abuse that we are now
responding differently in the years gone by.”
