Three men have been charged with a combined 46 offences following a Greater Manchester Police investigation into alleged non-recent child sexual exploitation involving 10 girls who were aged between 12 and 16 at the time of the alleged offences.
Police said the alleged offences took place in Bury between 1996 and 2003 and form part of Operation Sky, a 'complex and sensitive' investigation into allegations of non-recent child sexual offences. The inquiry has involved specialist officers, while Greater Manchester Police said safeguarding those affected has remained central throughout the investigation.
