Starrer pays tribute after the death of a journalist who has exposed the gang scandal for the gang

Andrew Norfolk, the former reporter who exposed the Rotherham care scandal, died at the age of 60, the newspaper said.

Sir Keir Starrer said, Mr. Norfolk, who died on May 8th after illness, was “absolutely significantly integrated” to change the law so that more members of care could be condemned.

The reporting of Mr. Norfolk in 2011 revealed a pattern of mainly white girls of teenage, which was cultivated by adult men of a Pakistanian heritage after a growing number of law enforcement in Great Britain.

It led to an examination of the sexual exploitation of children in Rotherham, which covered the period from 1997 to 2013 and made a “conservative estimate” that around 1,400 children over 16 years were sexually exploited.

The prime minister, who was a director of the public prosecutor, when the scandal was unveiled, said to The Times: “I am deeply sorry to hear from Andrew's death. 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 them most vulnerable.

“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 of gangs. His passion for the support of the victims of gangs who were supported by the care of gangs glowed and he was absolutely important to ensure that we could change the rules to increase the convictions of the Vile Peepers.

“My thoughts are with Andrews Family, relatives and friends. I hope that your memories of him and the knowledge of the difference he made the life of people are a consolation for them at that time. “
