82 GMP officers accused of sexual misconduct and a tiny rape charge rate
26.03.2023 - 16:57 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
They are the figures that raise questions about Greater Manchester Police's treatment of women and girls.
82 officers investigated for sexual misconduct, a tiny per cent of rape allegations leading to charge or summons, and 141 employees accused of violence against women and girls.
The latest statistic was revealed days before Baroness Louise Casey's damning report into the Metropolitan Police, which exposed a culture of 'institutional misogyny,' 'routine sexism,' and a 'culture of denial.'
No such report has concluded that GMP currently has a culture of misogyny, racism or homophobia, but insiders have already accepted that rape conviction rates are too low.
And senior officers have admitted that some of the elements identified in the Casey report, regarding the treatment of women and girls, will apply to GMP too. Sophie Halle-Richards reports.

Last year the force paid out damages to two women over botched sexual assault and rape probes.
One woman was awarded an £8,000 pay out after she was told by police 'nothing would come' of her rape complaint. She told of how a GMP officer dismissed her fears and told her to meet her alleged attacker and 'set the record straight.'
Meanwhile, the force was also ordered to pay £2,800 in damages to a homeless woman.
She contacted GMP after claims a man came into her tent in Manchester city centre and put his hands in her clothes. She expected her allegations to be properly investigated.
Officers arrived at the scene but the woman maintains they only spoke to her in the back of a patrol car. No formal statements were ever taken, and while CCTV was reviewed, the case was closed.
