I could be mistaken, but why are the Wikipedia numbers so far off? Wikipedia claims the population was ~100000 in 2011 (when the rapes happened) (en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki…).

There's the town of Rotherham, and then a larger Metropolitan Borough of Rotherham. I think the numbers differ depending on whether they're for just the town or the larger area. The Borough had a pop of 248,175 at the 2011 Census, and the town 109,691.
