Child abuse probe after police trawl 200,000 old files

Twenty people have been reported over historical child abuse after a huge trawl of old records by police.

Detectives have combed through 205,000 public protection files to re-examine historic cases.

Decades-old reports are being unearthed from rural offices and storage centers to be studied by a team of officers in West Lothian.

The operation started in May 2016 to prepare information for the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry (SCAI). –STV NEWS
