Police officers investigating the child sex abuse scandal in Telford have revealed that courts orders against more then 20 suspects were discarded. The victims of the abuse were failed because the cases were allegedly 'too much trouble'. The horrified officers also believe that more convictions would have been made if the abuse cases in Telford were linked to each other at the time. 'Many officers were frustrated because the CPS was treating the cases as separate when we knew they were linked.' However, one of the whistleblowers said that police had 'lots' of people they suspected of abuse but didn't put them before court.
