THE police watchdog says its inquiry into police misconduct over child grooming and abuse in Rotherham has grown by more than half within a year.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct is now conducting 98 investigations into possible wrongdoing compared to 62 a year ago.
Forty-five investigation reports have been completed under Operation Linden and 33 current and former police officers remain under notice that they are being investigated.
Among the investigations is one into whether former South Yorkshire police and crime commissioner Shaun Wright committed perjury when giving evidence to the home affairs select committee in 2014.
