Andrew Norfolk

Andrew Mark Norfolk[1] (born c. 1965) is a British journalist and chief investigative reporter for The Times.

[1] After graduating, Norfolk worked as a reporter with the Scarborough Evening News in 1989, where he was a National Union of Journalists rep.

[2] In 2010 Norfolk began investigating the on-street grooming of girls in the Midlands and northern England, largely by British-Pakistani men, and from January 2011[7] he produced a series of reports that triggered several formal inquiries.

He had known about the grooming earlier because Ann Cryer, the MP for Keighley, had publicly raised concerns about the abuse of two girls.

[9] The borough council complained to the Independent Press Standards Organisation (IPSO), which ruled that the story was riddled with inaccuracies.
