Rotherham Borough Council (RMBC) has paid out compensation to seven victims
of child sexual exploitation – but will not reveal the sums paid.
In response to a request from the Advertiser under the Freedom of
Information Act, the council revealed that just a handful of the claims made
by victims and survivors since August 2014 had been settled.
The local authority has received 80 demands for compensation, 70 of which
also relate to South Yorkshire Police.
The claims were filed following the publication of the Jay Report, which
found more than 1,400 children were sexually exploited in the town between
1997 and 2013, mostly by men of Pakistani heritage.
The Advertiser also asked for details of the total sum in compensation
agreed for the claims settled so far and the greatest individual
compensation sum.
But the council refused to reveal these details, saying they were exempt
from the FOI as proceedings were ongoing in other claims and releasing the
figures could hinder future negotiations.
