Met Police marksman who sexually assaulted his wife claimed he had 'sexsomnia' The victim was believed by the Met's own misconduct panel, but prosecutors thought her account 'lacked clarity'

Met Police marksman repeatedly assaulted his wife in her sleep and blamed sexsomnia. Prosecutors dropped the case, citing “a lack of clarity” in her account.

Her poem Dreams speaks to survival, hope, and the fight for a better world - one we must keep pushing for. A year on, I remain committed to amplifying survivors' voices and challenging the systems that continue to fail them.

A year ago, I was honoured to receive the EHMP and CWJ Award in Emma Humphreys’ name - a woman who turned her pain into a powerful fight for justice.
