7:35 pm
rapes and sexual assaults, some against children under 13, have been committed in hospitals in england and wales over nearly four years. only 265 people. that's a mere 4.1% are known to have been charged for these offences. professor jo phoenix , offences. professorjo phoenix, author of the report and she joins me now to discuss it. author of the report and she joins me now to discuss it . jo, joins me now to discuss it. jo, thanks so much forjoining us today. perhaps if you could talk us through what is the most significant and shocking element of this report. just the sheer scale of it, the sheer scale. i think one of the strange- . i think one of the strange things eheeh— think one of the strange things eheeh hhhe— think one of the strange things about this is— think one of the strange things about this is it's— think one of the strange things about this is it's not the first hhme— about this is it's not the first hhme hhhe— about this is it's not the first time this sort— about this is it's not the first time this sort of— about this is it's not the first time this sort of stuff has been eeeeheh. — time this sort of stuff has been reported. _thingsl time this sort of stuff has been. reported. -things that reported. there were things that were reported in november of last year and then previously about two years ago. lancashire one of the lancashire newspapers, also reported , did newspapers, also reported, did this, but nobody seemed to pay attention. one of the different things about this report, however, is it comes off the back of the freedom of information requests that we made to 43 police forces . as it made to 43 police forces. as it happens, only 35 responded. right. so northern ireland
7:36 pm
didn't respond . scotland didn't didn't respond. scotland didn't respond . is that legal, though? respond. is that legal, though? are they not meant to with heehem — are they not meant to with heehem eh— are they not meant to with freedom of information requests? yes freedom of information requests? hee — freedom of information requests? hee heeeh— freedom of information requests? hee heeeh mh— freedom of information requests? yes legal not to- freedom of information requests? yes 9 . yes legal not to respond. it is legal, not to respond. it is legal, not to respond. it is legal not respond. so the two legal not to respond. so the two responses can be we don't hold the so we can't give to the data, so we can't give it to you. or get that data, which you. or to get that data, which would be prohibitively costly. i see. yeah, but you wanted to hhh— see. yeah, but you wanted to hhhh hhhe— see. yeah, but you wanted to find this data- yeah, but you wanted to find this data because you were hhh— find this data because you were aware that this- find this data because you were aware that this kind of information- aware that this kind of information has not been out here— information has not been out heee-eeehe— information has not been out there?.we've just- information has not been out there? we've just had no way there? no, we've just had no way to there? no, we've just had no way he hemhhhy— there? no, we've just had no way he hemhhy hhe— there? no, we've just had no way to quantify the extent of the eeehhem. — to quantify the extent of the l eeehhem. —se to quantify the extent of the - problem. -so the problem. no, none at all. so the crime survey for england and wales asks victims where rapes take place and one of those categories is somewhere else, either in a perpetrator's home or, you know, a victim's home. and a whole series of others. but that's somewhere else. category accounts for around 19% of rapes reported to the crime survey of england and wales. that's somewhere else isn't broken down yet . we know that broken down yet. we know that there's sexual violence that
7:37 pm
takes place in hospitals. so this was an attempt to, if you like, get under the bonnet of that and find out what is the shape size of the problem. shape and size of the problem. now, i find it quite odd, just as a criminologist of 26 years now , i find it quite odd that now, i find it quite odd that the police police don't have a marker for on any of the data that they collect. that would indicate hospitals because as we said in that report, hospitals aren't somewhere else. hospitals aren't somewhere else. hospitals are a very specific environment where there's often intimate care of one variety or another . care of one variety or another. and it's also where we are often in as the report title is , are in as the report title is, are most vulnerable. well, quite so for predatory opportunists. it's the place, you know, ehvheeehy— it's the place, you know, obviously that's there's an eeeehehhhy— obviously that's there's an opportunity there. but also this eeeeeheh— opportunity there. but also this was recorded or- opportunity there. but also this was recorded or the information hhh— was recorded or the information hheh yee— was recorded or the information hheh yee heehh— was recorded or the information that you found was from the eeeheh— that you found was from the eeeheh eh— that you found was from the period of the- that you found was from the period of the pandemic. right hheee-e— period of the pandemic. right now, there's issues with that. i mean, you mentioned your mean, you mentioned in your ehhhe—hheh- mean, you mentioned in your article -that, you| article for the mail that, you knew.— article for the mail that, you heee-eeehe - know, of course, people are eeehe— know, of course, people are eeehe-.— know, of course, people are wearing-. that's. know, of course, people are. wearing-. that'slgood know, of course, people are- wearing-. that'slgood way wearing masks. that's a good way to wearing masks. that's a good way he hhhe— wearing masks. that's a good way he hhhe yeee— wearing masks. that's a good way to hide your identity. yes but at

to hide your identity. yes but eh-hhme.— to hide your identity. yes but eh-hhme. yee- to hide your identity. yes but at time, you would at the same time, you would eheeh— expect during a pandemic there to.heightened- expect during a pandemic there to heightened security in the to be heightened security in the heehhhehe. — to be heightened security in the hospitals. -there l to be heightened security in the. hospitals. -there was hospitals. indeed. and there was no hospitals. indeed. and there was he-h— hospitals. indeed. and there was no i think question no i mean, i think the question about, predatory men about, you know, predatory men coming is we coming into hospital is we presume men, course, presume it's men, of course, because, know, sexual because, you know, 99% of sexual violence by men. violence is committed by men. but we presume i presume that that's actually a very low number of people actually coming into the hospitals like that. the stories that have come out either on twitter people who either on twitter or people who have directly as a have emailed me directly as a result of the publication of the report have stories of report have been stories of junior doctors, physio , junior doctors, physio, therapists, health care assistants . it's basically assistants. it's basically breaching committing sexual violence . so i think that idea violence. so i think that idea that the sexual offender is somewhere out there, you know , somewhere out there, you know, this predatory individual , this predatory individual, actually, what this report may be indicating is that the sexual predator is in here and isn't that the case so often with sexual assaults, cases of sexual assaults, it's people that people know or who are residing nearby. erg absolutely. now, there's else that's there's something else that's really about this really important about this report. the other thing that we
7:39 pm
didn't for in retrospect didn't ask for in retrospect we maybe have, but i'd like maybe should have, but i'd like to and ask it . is to go back and ask for it. is the the victims , the the sex of the victims, the actual location in hospitals and the sex of the perpetrators ? the sex of the perpetrators? right now, funnily enough , being right now, funnily enough, being able to ask that question , i able to ask that question, i would never have been able to do it. i don't mean to go back to the open university, but i would never have been able to that never have been able to do that at open university, because at the open university, because even asking question like that even asking a question like that would have gone would have had to have gone through the ethics committee and it have stuck there . it could have got stuck there. it might be worth talking to eeehe— it might be worth talking to eeeehe eheeh— it might be worth talking to people about or- it might be worth talking to people about or just explaining ehh— people about or just explaining eheh—yee- people about or just explaining eheh—yee eh- people about or just explaining what-you at youri what happened to you at your eeehehee— what happened to you at your experience .the- what happened to you at your experience the open experience at the open hhheeehhy. — experience at the open university. lived university. oh yes. i've lived it university. oh yes. i've lived hh hee— university. oh yes. i've lived hh hee ee— university. oh yes. i've lived it for so long now. i assume everybody knows i worked the everybody knows i worked at the open university for quite a while . i hold gender critical while. i hold gender critical views. i wanted to ask about the competing rights of trans gender prisoners and women in prison . prisoners and women in prison. i've done, you know, 26 years of sexual violence and crimes against women. so i wanted to ask about that whole question . ask about that whole question.
7:40 pm
and i had been basically side silenced by my colleagues. i was silent after i got cancelled at essex university. motty i then after the reindorf report, which was a report into what happened to me at essex, said that cancelling academics is unlawful and then after the maya forstater ruling , which gave us forstater ruling, which gave us protected gender critical rights , i launched the open university gender critical research network and my life descended into what can only be described as just a continuum of hell . so there was continuum of hell. so there was petition lines that were signed, open letters that were put forward. my direct colleagues were asking for us to be discriminated for against, the university to disaffiliate the research network simply because and this is where we come back to the question with the report. yes that research network, its mission was to ask where, why, when , how and to what effect sex
7:41 pm
when, how and to what effect sex matters. people will be really eheeheh— matters. people will be really shocked because - people will be really shocked because you also got a lot shocked because you also got a heh eh— shocked because you also got a lot of harassment- shocked because you also got a lot of harassment and abuse. and it lot of harassment and abuse. and hh eee— lot of harassment and abuse. and hh veh— lot of harassment and abuse. and hh very yee— lot of harassment and abuse. and it was very you know, we've we've discussed - it was very you know, we've we've discussed this before and people— we've discussed this before and eeeehe ehh— we've discussed this before and eeeehe ehhh he— we've discussed this before and people will be shocked that an eeehemhe— people will be shocked that an eeehemhe eh— people will be shocked that an academic of such- people will be shocked that an academic of such standing academic of such high standing ehe— academic of such high standing ehelehmhhy— academic of such high standing who simply asking the who is simply asking the heeehhehe— who is simply asking the questions academic who is simply asking the. questions-academic i questions that an academic i mean criminologist. mean, you're a criminologist. hhhe— mean, you're a criminologist. hhhelyeee— mean, you're a criminologist. thislyour heh. — mean, you're a criminologist. this your job. right. this is yourjob. right. but heeeeee— this is yourjob. right. but because sensitivity because of the sensitivity eheeh— because of the sensitivity around that around this particular area that you around this particular area that yee eheehh— around this particular area that yee eheehh he— around this particular area that you should be demonised and meeeheeeh— you should be demonised and monstered. yeah.- you should be demonised and monstered. yeah. as a means to eeehehh— monstered. yeah. as a means to eeehehh hhe— monstered. yeah. as a means to prevent the facts- monstered. yeah. as a means to prevent the facts coming out. heeh. — prevent the facts coming out. heeh. eeehe— prevent the facts coming out. yeah. well, quite.- prevent the facts coming out. yeah. well, quite. ' “h: “ yeah. well, quite. and even in the reaction to the report. interesting only you know on twitter, you know, if you take twitter, you know, if you take twitter to mean anything on twitter to mean anything on twitter there have been several attempts to brand this piece of research transphobic , which is research transphobic, which is just crazy in my mind because what we're actually talking about is, you know, sexual violence in hospitals is. but because one of the calls to action on is to actually rethink the suspension of nxb , in other the suspension of nxb, in other words, to reintroduce single sex wards . and one of the other wards. and one of the other calls to action is to actually get the information from the
7:42 pm
police about whether it's female victims or male perpetrators. but this is very important, is it but this is very important, is hh heeeeee— but this is very important, is it because last- but this is very important, is it because last year there was an it because last year there was he ehhemhheh— it because last year there was an attempted sexual assault at a heeehheh— an attempted sexual assault at a heeehheh hh— an attempted sexual assault at a hospital in london- an attempted sexual assault at a hospital in london and the heme— hospital in london and the eehhee eee— hospital in london and the police were called . the police police were called. the police hemeh— police were called. the police hemeh eh— police were called. the police hemeh eh ehh— police were called. the police turned up and said to the memehe— turned up and said to the members of- turned up and said to the members of staff, well, we need to members of staff, well, we need he hhveehhhehe— members of staff, well, we need to investigate this. - members of staff, well, we need to investigate this. and the a...— to investigate this. and the aah-no.- to investigate this. and the staff not possible staff said it's not possible heeeeee— staff said it's not possible because that because there's no men on that eeeh— because there's no men on that eeeh-hehh— because there's no men on that ward -full well- because there's no men on that ward -full well that. ward knowing full well that here— ward knowing full well that hhhe-e— ward knowing full well that there a biological male who there was a biological male who hhehhhheh— there was a biological male who identified -the. identified as female on the hhh— identified as female on the eeeh. se— identified as female on the ward. so and- identified as female on the ward. so and that that means hheee— ward. so and that that means here he— ward. so and that that means there are serious- ward. so and that that means there are serious stakes here. here— there are serious stakes here. here he— there are serious stakes here. there are serious,- there are serious stakes here. there are serious, serious. there are serious, serious stakes. and it isn't just what's happening in hospitals and the degree to which, for lack of better words, gender identity, ideology , albie is underpinning ideology, albie is underpinning how hospitals are approaching this issue. and i'll just kind of sideways for a second here. part of the report was looking at the policies that nhs foundation trusts us hospitals use the care standards, quality commission news and the push behind all of those policies is to create sexual safety . arnie to create sexual safety. arnie right. and they talk about
7:43 pm
sexual safety incidences. that is the first time in my life i have ever heard sexual violence referred to as sexual safety. and part of that is around, you know , ensuring that gender know, ensuring that gender identity is respected. if you read these policies, they quite literally and i hate to use the word, but they erase sexual violence. now i don't know if i have a second more, but if i have a second more, but if i have one more second. the other thing that in the reaction to the report that has come to light is that the police forces who did answer the foi didn't take some police forces, didn't take some police forces, didn't take it seriously . now i'm just take it seriously. now i'm just going to mention one derbyshire shire police force . if you look shire police force. if you look on the table that we provide in the report, they were the second highest for rapes and sexual assaults with just over a thousand right now when the report landed and it attracted so much media attention, derbyshire police force contacted . one and they also
7:44 pm
contacted. one and they also made a public statement saying that when they did the foi all they did was, in effect a fuzzy word search for the word hospital on any sexual violence case. so they justified in one statement it that they made they justified the fact that those numbers were so high because it could have occurred on something like a road called hospital road right now at that time , when right now at that time, when i discovered that, i thought, well, this is ludicrous because i'm sure there aren't that many hospital roads in the derbyshire police force area. but they've gone back. they've relooked at their own data and the numbers come in much lower. there has been, you know, a request to change the data. we're not going to because that report is an historical report. but what does that tell you? that there wasn't hhh— that tell you? that there wasn't that diligence - that tell you? that there wasn't that diligence about- pmih.7 that there wasn't that diligence about such phix.7 that there wasn't that diligence about such a serious subject? i mean, serious subject? quite. i mean, hheh-e— serious subject? quite. i mean, that's-disturbing. i that's very, very disturbing. hhh— that's very, very disturbing. l hhhe—when well, it's very disturbing when you in light of the casey you put it in light of the casey report. and, you know, the question of institutional misogyny police forces,
