Paedophiles in the Rotherham child sex scandal are believed to have used written guides to learn how to prey on victims.
The existence of online grooming manuals has been revealed by the town’s MP Sarah Champion.
She said: “We have changed legislation because there are manuals that go out telling people what to do.”
A proposed law change aims to “make it an offence to possess an item that contains advice or guidance about committing sexual offences against children”.
An alleged Rotherham victim said she was groomed at 14 by a man who took her to his flat and gave her gifts including a phone.
She said: “I had good parents who tried to protect me.”
But she went missing for months and had a child with her alleged abuser.
