2022/25492 - Female suspects of sexual offences
REQUEST
Can you please provide the following information which I am using to build a picture on national incidence and service provision.
Can you please advise how many female suspects of sexual offences you have had through your custody suites for each year 2016 -2021.
Of those that were detained how many had a forensic medical examination.
Of those that did not have a forensic examination are you able to say whether this was because of no consent, no appropriately skilled medical examiner, or wrong gender of examiner, or for any other reason.
CLARIFICATION
My focus is on female detainees for sexual offences who have deemed to have required a forensic medical examination so in theory they could be both arrested or detained and processed depending on the evidence available. So it is those who have been processed through custody
