Starer pays Andrew Norfolk, the child's sexual abuse scandal exposes | Investigative journalism

Keir Starrer has exposed to the journalist who exposes the child's sexual exploitation scandal, who led to a great public investigation after his death at the age of 60.

The examination by Andrew Norfolk, a reporter of the time, led to the knowledge that 1,400 children were abused over a period of 16 years. It brought him the most prestigious awards of journalism and a reputation as a committed reporter who pursues neglected problems.

The Prime Minister, the director of the public prosecutor, when Norfolk unveiled the scandals, said that the reporter had visited a “passion for the support of the victims” of the perpetrators of the scandal.

“I'm deeply sorry to hear from Andrew's death,” said Parmerer. “He was not only an incredibly talented reporter, at the time and elsewhere he was driven by the desire to draw our attention to injustice and to protect the most endangered.

“I had the privilege enough to meet Andrew first -hand when I was a director of the public prosecutor after having broken the news of the scandal for the nursing tied.

“My thoughts are with Andrew's family, loved ones and friends. I hope your memories of him and the knowledge of the difference he made about the life of people are a consolation for you at that time.”

Norfolk's reporting initially concentrated on Rotherham, and his first major investigation was published in January 2011. He said he had identified a pattern of gangs, mainly from Asian men who used white girls in parts of England, but had arisen against a “conspiracy of the silence” of the police and councils.

His investigation brought him the Paul Foot and Orwell Prize for Journalism. Norfolk had recently retired and the Times said he died after collapsing during a routine medical appointment.
