I would like all claims of sexual assault to be handled by civilian police rather than military police. All accusations and claims should be referred to and investigated impartial officers in the civilian police force.

The number of sexual assaults and rapes within the military continues to rise in the last 5-6 years. Of the 149 rape complaints logged by the MoD in the last five years just 13 ended with somebody being found guilty. For sex assaults the statistics were similarly grim with just 89 cases ending with a conviction out of a total of 401. It is rare that military court finds a guilty verdict, so many women and men are being let down. There needs to be a change.
