to these men today reflect the depravity of their actions and I hope it will bring some comfort to their
victims to see them jailed.
“Their actions in targeting and sexually abusing these very young and vulnerable girls were utterly despicable
and I am very pleased the courts have recognised this and put them behind bars for a number of years.
“Operation Tendersea should send a very clear message that the Police and our Partners at Kirklees will not
hesitate to pursue those who sexually abuse children and we will do all we can to seek justice for the victims,
no matter when, or how long ago the abuse took place.
"I would urge anyone who may have been the victim of child sexual abuse in Kirklees or elsewhere who has
not contacted us to come forwards.”
