    Episode 41: More than 50 towns could have rape gang victims says campaigning Tory MP Robbie Moore

    A Conservative MP who has spent years trying to expose the rape gangs scandal says that more than 50 towns have been affected.

Research based on court documents by GB News suggests that 50 towns could be affected, more than the six examined in the official review in child sexual exploitation by Baroness Jay review in 2022. But in an interview with Chopper's Political Podcast, Moore said that he "would not be surprised" if more than 50 towns were affected.
