A shocking report from the BBC:
Victims of female child sexual abusers face "enormous stigma and shame", according to police and charities.
Figures from BBC Radio 4's File on 4 show there were over 10,400 reports of this type of abuse from 2015 to 2019 - equivalent to an average of 40 a week.
Experts say there is still a "lack of understanding" about the extent of such abuse.
The UK government said it would not allow "any safe space for sex offenders to operate - male or female".
Between 2015 and 2019, the numbers of reported cases of female-perpetrated child sexual abuse to police in England and Wales rose from 1,249 to 2,297 - an increase of 84%.
An increase of 84% over just four years is indeed astonishing. But, as has been pointed out, it's impossible to know just how much of this increase is down to trans women: male abusers who say they're women, and whose violent crimes therefore get recorded as women's crimes. And the possibility certainly isn't mentioned in the report.
As I noted some months ago, the statistics are being distorted in the name of trans inclusivity. Not so much a change in human nature as a change in reporting accuracy.
Update: and see this, from the Glinner Update.
I wonder if the number of “male-perpetrated child sexual abuse” went down but the same percentage, and for the same reason.
