Three men aged 37, 40 and 41 have been arrested in Bradford following allegations of child sexual abuse dating to the late 2000s.

Three men aged 37, 40 and 41 have been arrested as part of a West Yorkshire Police investigation into non-recent child sexual abuse in Bradford. The arrests follow a woman's report of sexual abuse in the Bradford area when she was 12 years old in 2008.

Specific charges have been made against each man. The 37-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of arranging the commission of sexual activity with a child. The 40-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and arranging the commission of sexual activity with a child. The 41-year-old has been arrested on suspicion of rape and sexual assault.

All three men have been bailed pending further enquiries. Temporary Detective Chief Inspector Chantel Markham of Bradford District Police said the force remains committed to bringing people responsible for child sexual abuse to justice 'no matter how long ago' the offences occurred. She urged anyone who has been a victim of sexual abuse, whether recent or historic, to report it to the police.
