Rotherham residents ashamed of town

People in the town, which has suffered from a horrific child grooming scandal, tell us they are ashamed to say it is where they live.

It is estimated at least 1,400 children had been subjected to appalling sexual exploitation in Rotherham between 1997 and 2013, mainly by men of British Pakistani heritage.

Our reporter James Longman returns to the town to talk to families, business owners and one of the young women abused to find out whether Rotherham can recover.

His report contains strong language and some details you may find upsetting.
