💬 “They’re shifting the blame onto women, saying women thought they wouldn’t have been believed' Police abuse survivor accuses Met of victim-blaming in Casey response

Freya said: “[In the Casey report] they’ve got police officers saying they have this concern that ‘we look after our own’. We said that in our police super-complaint and they dismissed it.

It also found that allegations of sexual harassment, misconduct and assault were less likely to result in a “case to answer decision” against an officer than other misconduct allegations. “This only reinforces a cycle in which people do not report,” Baroness Casey concluded. She added: “The other thing we said was we needed a bespoke reporting channel, and they dismissed that. We suggested it four years ago. How many abusers have there been in the last four years, how many women have been abused by police officers and haven’t been able to report in that time?”
