Operation Sanctuary review finds adult abuse 'extensive'
Vulnerable women are most likely being "extensively" abused across the UK and ministers need to urgently review sex exploitation laws, a report says.
David Spicer led a review in the wake of Operation Sanctuary which saw 18 people jailed for the sexual abuse of young women groomed in Newcastle.
He said exploitation was not being recognised in adults.
The operation identified about 700 victims in total across the Northumbria Police area, 108 in Newcastle.
