Greater Manchester's police chief has revealed the force is actively pursuing child sexual exploitation suspects currently in Pakistan to face possible criminal charges here. Chief Constable Stephen Watson confirmed GMP was 'seeking to bring suspects in from Pakistan' but refused to elaborate further due to what he called 'judicial processes'.
He didn't reveal how many suspects were involved or a timeframe, but confirmed in a radio interview on Wednesday that it was 'more than one' and hinted at 'announcements that will shortly come'.
Chief Constable Watson, speaking on LBC talk radio, said crime that happened in the past doesn't 'stay in the past because it happened a long time ago', warning: "The reality is, we will hunt down people who commit these offences. We will hunt people down."
