Inquiry Chair Tom Crowther QC said certain parts of Telford were regarded as "no-go" areas by police
An investigation into child sexual exploitation in Telford also heard officers "dropped the case like a hot potato" when complaints were made against these suspects.West Mercia Police and Telford and Wrekin Council apologised for failings. However evidence was repeatedly ignored by both the police and council, he said, with the police in particular nervous about areas seen as "Asian areas".
"That very street was reported in the local press in the late 90s as having a child prostitution problem and yet, a no-go area."In one case highlighted in the report, inappropriate behaviour by a south Asian male towards a child was discussed at multi-agency meetings in the early 2000s but no action was taken, according to evidence given to the inquiry.
