Our thanks to Toy Soldier for this. A far higher proportion of sexual abuse is carried out by women than most people realise, but the criminal justice system rarely prosecutes them, being fixated on male sex offenders. As we reported recently, the disinclination to prosecute abusive women remains even after they’ve admitted abusing their sons to the police – here.

The issue of sexual abuse was covered in pp.31-37 of our election manifesto.
