DescriptionSir Cyril Smith was a sex abuser of boys in the late 1960s, police have accepted.

The news comes as the Crown Prosecution Service admitted he should have been charged with the crimes more than 40 years ago.

In a statement, Greater Manchester Police said the boys "were victims of physical and sexual abuse" by the late Rochdale MP.

Sir Cyril was never charged despite investigations in 1970, 1998, and 1999.
