Police deny Reform council leader's claims of rape case 'cover-up'
Published: 8/5/2025

Warwickshire Police dismisses rape cover-up claim by council leader George Finch, insisting they did not withhold information on a reported 12-year-old girl's rape in Nuneaton. Chief Constable emphasizes victim support and swift perpetrator identification as top priorities. Conflicting views emerge on disclosing suspects' personal information, with Reform UK's Nigel Farage labeling the police's approach as a "cover-up." Warwickshire Police continues the investigation, with suspects facing charges related to the crime.
