A trio of men has appeared in court accused of multiple criminal offences connected to the Rotherham child abuse investigation, known as Operation Stovewood and conducted by the National Crime Agency.
The charges relate to alleged acts committed in 2011 and 2012, involving two victims aged 13 to 15 years old who were residents of a children’s home at the time.
Romulad Stefan Houphoet, aged 36 and residing in Burngreave, Sheffield, is charged with four counts of rape.
The men all appeared before Sheffield Magistrates Court today (Monday, January 9), and they have been granted bail until their next court hearing at Sheffield’s Crown Court on February 6.
Philip Marshall, who serves as the NCA’s Senior Investigating Officer for the operation, stated: “Reaching these charges is a significant step forward in this lengthy investigation.
Operation Stovewood continues to probe allegations of child sexual abuse outside family circles in Rotherham from 1997 through 2013.
Our focus remains steadfast on the victims, and I strongly encourage anyone who has information or believes they have been affected to come forward.” People can contact investigators by email at [email protected] or by calling the NCA Control Centre at 0370 496 7622, quoting Operation Stovewood.
