Question: Who wrote the three-part 2017 British television drama series about a child sex abuse ring involving 47 under-age teenage girls in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England?
Context: The Derby child sex abuse ring was a group of men who sexually abused up to a hundred girls in Derby, England.  In 2010, after an undercover investigation by Derbyshire police, members of the ring were charged with 75 offences relating to 26 girls.  Nine of the 13 accused were convicted of grooming and raping girls between 12 and 18 years old.  The attacks provoked fierce discussion about race and sexual exploitation. The Bristol child sex abuse ring was a group of 13 Somali men who committed sexual offences against underage teenage girls in Bristol, in southwestern England.  In November 2014, they were convicted of offences including rape, paying a child for sex, causing or inciting child prostitution, sexual acts with children and sex trafficking. The Banbury child sex abuse ring was a group of seven men who committed serious sexual offences against under-aged girls in the English town of Banbury, Oxfordshire.  In March 2015, they were found guilty of offences including rape and sexual activity with a child over a period extending from 2009 to 2014.  Police in Banbury had drawn on the lessons of Operation Bullfinch, which targeted sexual abuse in nearby Oxford. The Telford child sex abuse ring was a group of seven men, mainly British Pakistanis who were found guilty of sexual offences against four teenage girls, aged 13 to 16.  The offences occurred between 2007 and 2009 in Telford, England.  In a series of trials stretching over two years to May 2013, they were convicted of offences including rape, controlling child prostitution, causing child prostitution and trafficking for the purpose of prostitution.  A Channel 4 investigation into the sex gangs said local police had heard: The Keighley child sex abuse ring was a group of twelve men who committed serious sexual offences against two under-aged white girls in the English town of Keighley and city of Bradford, West Yorkshire.  In December 2015, they were found guilty of rape and other forms of sexual abuse by a unanimous jury verdict at Bradford Crown Court.  They were sentenced in February 2016 to a total of 130 years in jail.  The main victim, who had been targeted by ten of the men, was aged between 13 and 14 at the time of the attacks between 2011 and 2012.  The alleged ringleader of the gang was named as local drug-dealer Ahmed Al-Arif Choudhury (also spelled Choudry), who was not among those found guilty in court. The Aylesbury child sex abuse ring was a group of six men of British Pakistani heritage who committed serious sexual offences against two under-aged girls in the English town of Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.  In July 2015, they were found guilty of offences including rape and child prostitution over a period extending from 2006 to 2012.  The child protection charity Barnardo's stated that it had worked with the two girls in 2008 and referred one of them to Buckinghamshire County Council as in danger of child sex exploitation.  The council did not respond adequately and, following the convictions, apologised to the two girls for its failure to protect them.  It has now instituted a Serious Case Review to examine those failures. The Rochdale child sex abuse ring involved under-age teenage girls in Rochdale, Greater Manchester, England.  Twelve men were convicted of sex trafficking and other offences including rape, trafficking girls for sex and conspiracy to engage in sexual activity with a child, on 8 May 2012.  Forty-seven girls were identified as victims of child sexual exploitation during the police investigation.  The men were British Pakistanis which led to discussion on whether the failure to investigate them was linked to the authorities' fear of being accused of racism.  The girls were mainly white British.  In March 2015, Greater Manchester Police apologised for its failure to investigate the child sexual exploitation allegations more thoroughly between 2008 and 2010. An Associated Press investigation revealed in 2017 that more than 100 UN peacekeepers ran a child sex ring in Haiti over a 10 year period and none were ever jailed.  The report further found that over the past 12 years there have been almost 2,000 allegations of sexual abuse and exploitation by peacekeepers and other U.N. personnel around the world.  A.P. found the abuse is much greater than previously known.  After the A.P. report, U.S. Ambassador to the U.N., Nikki Haley, urged all countries to hold U.N. peacekeeping soldiers accountable for any sexual abuse and exploitation.  As early as 2004, Amnesty International reported that under-age girls were being kidnapped, tortured and forced into prostitution in Kosovo with U.N. and NATO personnel being the customers driving the demand for the sex slaves.  The U.N.'s department of peacekeeping in New York acknowledged at that time that "peacekeepers have come to be seen as part of the problem in trafficking rather than the solution". The Halifax child sex abuse ring was a group of 15 British Asian men who committed serious sexual offences against two under-aged girls in the English town of Halifax and city of Bradford, West Yorkshire.  In 2016, they were found guilty of rape and other forms of sexual abuse in several separate trials at Leeds Crown Court.  In total, as many as a hundred men may have been involved in abusing the main victim.  Twenty-five suspects were charged by West Yorkshire Police and the Crown Prosecution Service and fifteen of these were found guilty. Three Girls is a three-part British television drama series, written by screenwriter Nicole Taylor, and directed by Philippa Lowthorpe, that broadcast on three consecutive nights between 16 and 18 May 2017 on BBC One.  A co-production between BBC Studios and Studio Lambert, the series is a dramatised version of the events surrounding the Rochdale child sex abuse ring, and describes how the authorities failed to investigate allegations of rape because the victims were perceived as unreliable witnesses.  The story is told from the viewpoint of three of the victims: fourteen-year-old Holly Winshaw (Molly Windsor), sixteen-year-old Amber Bowen (Ria Zmitrowicz) and her younger sister Ruby (Liv Hill); although the focus later shifts to sexual health worker Sara Rowbotham (Maxine Peake), who became the main whistleblower who drew attention to the case after repeated pleas for help from social services and the police fell on deaf ears.
