'Significant' sex abuse arrests due says prosecutor

A senior prosecutor says "significant" arrests are being planned in the coming weeks of people suspected of sexual abuse.

Nazir Afzal, chief crown prosecutor for north-west England, said arrests in the wake of the Jimmy Savile revelations would continue.

He said child sex abuse was "more widespread than we ever imagined".

Mr Afzal made the comments at a seminar organised by the think-tank Policy Exchange.
