The below Parliamentary question was asked by Ann Coffey on 2015-10-13.

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, how many (a) prosecutions and (b) convictions there were in (i) 2012-13, (ii) 2013-14 and (iii) 2014-15 under Section 48 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 where the victims were (A) under 16 years old and (B) between 16 and 19 years old.

Dominic Raab

The statutes concerned apply to victims aged under 18 years. A breakdown by age could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.

Data on justice outcomes for offences under sections 47, 48 and 49 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 are published at the following link under ‘71.1 Abuse of children through prostitution and pornography – indictable only’ and ‘71.2 Abuse of children through prostitution and pornography – triable either way’:

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Ann Coffey on 2015-10-13.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many local authorities in phase two of the Troubled Families programme have made tackling (a) child sexual exploitation and (b) sexual abuse an outcome in their Troubled Families Outcome Plan.

Greg Clark

Troubled Families Outcomes Plans are locally designed and owned documents that state how each local authority will demonstrate significant and sustained progress against the whole range of complex problems that a family on the programme may have. We have no current detailed analysis of child sexual exploitation and abuse within all Outcome Plans, but the programme is designed to be flexible so that all local authorities can bring in families where they believe child sexual exploitation or sexual abuse is an issue, and they believe the family would benefit from being included on the programme.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many individual investigations the National Crime Agency has conducted into County Line operations; and how many prosecutions have resulted from such investigations.

Karen Bradley

The National Crime Agency’s remit relating to ‘county lines’ does not focus on the conduct of individual investigations and prosecutions. Individual investigations and prosecutions remain the responsibility of local police forces. Information on the number of investigations and prosecutions relating to county lines specifically is not collated centrally.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, on how many occasions the (a) National Crime Agency and (b) SOCA have declined a request by a police force to investigate a suspected County Line on grounds of the age of suspects.

Karen Bradley

The National Crime Agency have confirmed they, and previously the Serious Organised Crime Agency, have not, and would not decline a request by a police force to support an investigation on ‘County Lines’ based on the grounds of the age of the suspects.

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Ann Coffey on 2015-10-13.

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many nominals in County Line investigations conducted or led by the National Crime Agency have been under 18; and what the age, gender and regional breakdown is of each such person.

Karen Bradley

The National Crime Agency does not conduct County Lines investigations and therefore does not hold this information. However, the NCA play a critical role in tackling child sexual abuse working closely with law enforcement partners to tackle this abhorrent crime.
