Greater Manchester Police and Oldham Council have said they are “deeply sorry” after a report said both failed to protect girls from grooming gangs between 2011 and 2014 and “missed opportunities” to protect a girl who tried to raise the alarm.
The girl, identified only by the pseudonym Sophie, was 12 when she first went into a police station in Oldham and reported having been raped by an Asian man in October 2006.
