Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council v (1) M (2) F (3) G (A Child) & (1) HH, LL, MM, NN (2) South Yorkshire Police (3) Times Newspaper LTD (2016)

It was appropriate to make a reporting restriction order preventing the identification of (a) a vulnerable teenage girl who was at risk of sexual exploitation and (b) four Asian males who had associated with her. Naming the males risked revealing the girl’s identity; it was also significant that no findings of sexual exploitation had been made against the males.
