David Saynor, now in his seventies, used his limousine business to groom and sexually abuse teenage girls in Rotherham from the late 2000s to the early 2010s. Arrested under Operation Stovewood – the UK’s largest investigation into non-familial child sexual abuse – Saynor’s horrific crimes were exposed thanks to the courage of survivors and the dedication of specialist teams at the NCA. Hear from the officers who put him behind bars for the rest of his life, Rotherham MP Sarah Champion, a specialist prosecutor from the Crown Prosecution Service, and more.
