10 years after Jay Report exposed widespread child abuse in Rotherham, an abuse survivor "Amy" receives apology from South Yorkshire Police.

10 years after the Jay Report exposed widespread child abuse in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013, involving at least 1,400 victims, an anonymous abuse survivor, "Amy," has finally received an apology from South Yorkshire Police. The Jay Report, published in 2014, revealed that children were abused "on an unprecedented scale" by networks of mainly British Pakistani men. The report criticized Rotherham Council for failing to protect victims and for not addressing the "scale" of grooming prior to 2014. Despite improvements, crucial lessons must still be learned, emphasizing that there must be no room for complacency and that all efforts must be made to protect children.
