Shaun Wright

A security guard in Rotherham says that he told many agencies that gangs were abusing and raping young women in the center of town, but no one did anything.

Shaun Wright, the police commissioner criticised over his handling of child sex abuse cases, has finally stepped down. But he is not the only official accused of failing to protect the area's children.

The town where British Pakistani gangs abused 1,400 children has become a magnet for nationalist groups trying to whip up racial tension.
