Emily Hunt felt powerless after CPS failed to charge man who filmed her naked and asleep. Now she advises UK government on sexual assault
============================================
Emily Hunt was initially let down by the system, but to her courage and inner strength she decided that she had to do more and thankfully some of her endeavours have produced some good results.
But, as Emily will know, much more needs to be done to ensure every women in the UK is respected and receives everything the Law currently stipulates.
However, as we see with the recent case of the now former Met Police Officer David Carrick, even though he pleaded guilty to many charges and was sentenced to serve more than 30 years in prison before he can be considered for release, much more is required. Carrick was given 36 life sentences for his 17-year campaign of terror. However, while a large sentence should it have been even more severe, especially as his victims have a full life time to live with the actions he committed.
Now we find this appears to be one of many actions done by some Met Officers and not only Met Officers, but in other forces and in other areas other than police. This is not even taking into account all the other actions done to women throughout the UK.
So much more needs to be done to ensure everyone in the UK is protected, and no one should ever be demeaned for reporting any such actions, be they of any gender, race, ethnicity, disability, etc.
The Law needs to be strengthened so much more and then ensure the police, CPS and the Courts fully implement the Law.
Emily showed great courage to do what she did and is still doing, but don’t leave it to just Emily, for we should all do whatever we can.
