An MP has accused Nottinghamshire police and the county council of losing and destroying files relating to child sex abuse allegations.
John Mann made the allegations in the House of Commons calling for the cases to be included in the independent inquiry led by Baroness Butler-Sloss.
The county council said all historical abuse claims are taken seriously.
The police said an investigation into three victims was ongoing and they will review a further two cases.
‘They deserve justice’
In a question for the Home Secretary Theresa May, Mr Mann accused the county council of destroying files while he claimed the police had lost details of the allegations.
Speaking outside the Houses of Parliament, he said they were “horrendous cases” of child abuse dating back up to 20 years but not one of them had resulted in a prosecution.
