The motion was brought forward by Conservative MS Altaf Hussain, who said his party was “deeply touched” by the story of a young woman who has experienced sexual exploitation as a child and has called for an independent inquiry.
Calls for the Welsh government to consider an independent inquiry into child sexual exploitation by grooming gangs in Wales has seen unanimous support in the Senedd.
Ms Hutt said they are developing a 10-year strategy, influenced by victims and survivors, for preventing and responding to child sexual abuse, which will be consulted on shortly.
Mr Hussain said: “If anything good can come from her horrendous ordeal, it is that she advocates for other victims, and is actually campaigning to ensure no one else suffers the abuse that she endured.
Plaid’s Sioned Williams MS said past failures must be learned from and victims and survivors listened to, stressing it should not be a “political issue”.
