“‘I was gaslit by my own force’: female police report systemic abuse by male officers.”
“When [X] separated from her husband, he subjected her to emotional & financial abuse & harassment. After reporting his behaviour, she was left with little option but to leave the force she had served for more than a decade. He was later arrested for harassment, but is understood to still be working as a police officer.”

“A Metropolitan police officer has been revealed as a serial rapist who committed more than 71 serious sexual offences, despite the force being told of repeated allegations over two decades that he was a threat to women.”
