What is being done to help survivors of child sexual abuse?

Victims of sexual abuse share their experience

Eleven per cent of women and 3% of men aged 16 to 59 said they had been sexually abused as child in the crime survey from the Office of National Statistics. A new effort is being launched to help young people who are coping not with historical abuse but with recent abuse.

Our reporter Sima Kotecha has spoken to two 17-year-old girls who were groomed by older men over the past couple of years. The Labour MP, Sarah Champion, and Chief Superintendent, Paul Sanford, discuss what needs to be done and the difficulties facing victims in the current system.
