<p>Police are continuing to question a 19-year-old man as they investigate suspected sexual abuse and exploitation of up to 20 children.</p>
<p>More arrests are expected as the inquiry into the suspected grooming of youngsters aged 12 and above gathers pace.</p>
<p>Devon and Cornwall Police said the alleged offences ranged from indecent assault to rape over a two to three-year period in the Torbay and Teignbridge areas.</p>
<p>Thousands of letters have been sent from Torbay Council to the parents of children at secondary schools telling them of the investigation.</p>
<p>Police said they had interviewed 20 children so far, who were mainly girls, from more than one school in the area.</p>
<p>Officers said the allegations did not involve paedophiles snatching children off the street and stressed that the victims were known to the alleged offenders. The investigation is looking at whether social networking may have been involved.</p>
<p>At a press conference in Torbay, Detective Inspector Simon Snell, who is leading the inquiry, said there appeared to be &#8220;all manner of grooming taken place and it could well also be on the internet&#8221;.</p>
<p>The suspect is being held on suspicion of offences related to child exploitation.</p>
<p>The inquiry started last week after children came forward to childcare agencies which then alerted police.</p>
<p>Mr Snell said: &#8220;The complaints have been made by children. It was raised at a multi-agency forum quite recently. We acted really, really quickly to make sure we listened to those multi-agency groups and have then conducted this investigation. We are looking at other people and other arrests may follow in the coming days and weeks.&#8221;</p>
