The case closed in June 2021, but five months later Sky News published a series of reports revealing evidence of organized abuse in the city as well as an alleged new victim in the case. This morning, the alleged victims were told the case was being re-opened and Humberside Police issued a statement saying they had “taken the decision to set up a new investigation team and reopen the investigation”. Sky News assessed the case last autumn with the help of a leading child abuse expert. After examining diaries, texts, school reports, photographs of injuries and testimonies from the women, Jim Gamble, former head of the Child Exploitation and Online Protection agency, said there was “significant corroboration” and the case should go to court. He added: “If they need additional evidence, they should go out and get it.” Operation Marksmen was a two-year investigation by Humberside Police. Thirty-four people were arrested, while 200 digital devices were seized from suspects for forensic examination and more than 100,000 text messages were examined. But no one was charged with abuse. Officers concluded that the evidence did not exceed the threshold set by the Crown Prosecution Service to prosecute. However, the force called on the external Hydrant program team, which assesses sexual abuse cases, to provide a full evidentiary review of the investigation. Following this, Assistant Chief Constable David Marshall said: “Based on Hydrant’s evidentiary examination of Op Marksman, Humberside Police have taken the decision to set up a new investigative team and reopen the investigation. “The investigation team will focus on a number of lines of enquiry, with victims being kept informed and receiving our full support. “Humberside Police understands the significant public interest in any allegations of child sexual abuse and exploitation in our communities. “As the investigation is active, it is imperative that we protect its integrity. When we are at a stage where sharing further details will not affect or jeopardize any criminal or legal proceedings, we will of course endeavor to share this information.”
