Claims of a 'rape list' have been made by whistleblowers in the service
An investigation has been launched into alleged sex assaults and harassment in the Royal Navy. The proble has been ordered by the head of the submarine service amid reports that a "rape list" of female personnel was compiled.
The abuse is said to have been rife across the submarine service since its long-standing ban on female recruits came to an end in 2011, the Daily Mail reported. The paper quotes Sophie Brook, 30, the first female warfare officer in the service and once tipped to captain a sub, as saying the fleet is "no place for women" and claiming she was harassed by senior officers.
“These allegations are abhorrent. Sexual assault and harassment has no place in the Royal Navy and will not be tolerated.
