The Mirror starts the week strongly with two exclusive stories. Following an 18-month investigation, our reporters Geraldine McKelvie and Nick Sommerlad have revealed that a child sex grooming ring in Telford is believed to be even worse than those previously discovered in Rotherham and Rochdale. The story is broken in the Sunday Mirror then continued in the Daily Mirror. Our competitors all follow it.
This has been a painstaking job for Geraldine and Nick: tracking down and then building up trust with abused girls, gaining access to key reports, trying to discover why the authorities failed to act quicker.
