Researcher Angie Heal,who was hired by local officials and warned them about child exploitation occurring between 2002 and 2007,has since described it as the "biggest child protection scandal in UK history",with one report estimating that 1,400 girls were abused by "grooming gangs" between 1997 and 2013. Evidence of the abuse was first noted in the early 1990s,when care home managers investigated reports that children in their care were being picked up by taxi drivers. From at least 2001,multiple reports passed names of alleged perpetrators,several from one family,to the police and Rotherham Council. The first group conviction took place in 2010,when five British-Pakistani men were convicted of sexual offences against girls aged 12–16.
