'South Yorkshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Shaun Wright has resigned over the Rotherham child abuse scandal.
Mr Wright faced repeated calls to step down in the wake of a report which found at least 1,400 children were abused in the town from 1997 to 2013.
He was the head of children's services in Rotherham between 2005 and 2010.
Mr Wright said he was stepping down to ensure the "important issues" outlined in the report could be discussed and considered "without distraction".'

Did the Yorkshire Police arrest some abused women after Wright resigned in order to prove they’re being even-handed.

yeah and not because this evil PC jerk allowed savage evil to happen to hundreds of innocent children on his watch...
are no adults with authority going to take responsibility for wholesale child abuse ???
the lot should be fired and go to prison...
You mean until now he still had the job?????? Perfect proof how hard it is to fire anyone in the public sector.
Apparently it's an elected office and they don't have a mechanism, such as a recall election, to get rid of him.
