Mental Health Units
Dear Metropolitan Police Service (MPS),
How many reports of rape, sexual assault, sexual harassment, or other forms of sexual misconduct have been recorded in Mental Health in-patient units over the past five years? (1st December 2016- 30th November 2021)
For each case please include the date the report was received, the crime-type and the outcome - e.g. whether an arrest, charge or no action taken. If possible, please state whether the accused was a member of staff or patient.
If it's not possible to release the exact date, please progress with the request without that detail included.
Yours faithfully,
Rachael Venables
