Deputy Chief Constable Amanda Blakeman of Gwent police has personally apologised to two women who were serving officers abused by a more senior police officer, after they were failed when reporting their allegations.

Women’s groups appalled at judgment of Court of Appeal and call for further overhaul of the law and criminal justice practice in relation to strangulation and so called “rough sex” cases.

This morning (11.11.21) the Centre for Women’s Justice (CWJ) and the campaign group We Can’t Consent to This (WCCTT) applied for permission to intervene in the sentencing appeal hearing of Sam Pybus.

CWJ are supporting the Justice for Gaia campaign and invites anyone who has been a victim or can provide useful evidence about Connor Hayes’ sexual offending to come forward.

CWJ, with the support of 21 national women’s organisations and others, have today taken the first formal step in bringing judicial review proceedings against the Home Secretary in respect of her failure to take adequate and timely steps to set up a statutory inquiry into the wider issues arising following the conviction of Metropolitan Police officer, Wayne Couzens.
