More arrested in Oxford child sex inquiry
Two more arrests have been made in an investigation into alleged child exploitation in Oxford.
Six men were charged last month as part of a child sex trafficking inquiry which could involve 38 girls.
A man, 39, who was out of the country at the time of the original raids, was held on Tuesday on suspicion of grooming but released on bail.
A 40-year-old woman held on Wednesday on suspicion of the same offence has been released without charge.
Seven other men have had their bail extended until 7 June.
They are due to enter pleas on 22 June at Amersham Crown Court.
