This is absolutely horrendous.
To violate someone at their lowest and most vulnerable.
I genuinely fear my mental health getting as low as it has previously because of my lack of trust in the NHS to provide a safe environment. The panorama on it previously was disgusting.
My heart aches for the woman.
As usual, police have serious questions to answer that they probably won’t.
Joey Swoll needs to step in. You need to do better
Have they tried accusing them of saying no no words on social media?
One corrupt, rotten organisation covering for another corrupt, rotten organisation.
It’s well known that sexual abuse in psychiatric inpatient facilities is absolutely rampant.
Something is seriously wrong with our public services.
The police, like this nurse, recognise what can be done when you are in a position of power over somebody and enjoy it. They probably recognised a kindred spirit.

I’ve been an inpatient on psychiatric wards in multiple trusts. This kind of thing is an epidemic, and no one cares, because who wants to believe the person in a psychiatric unit? You’re at a major disadvantage to being believed from the off unless a camera caught it like here, even then no one in authority cares.
The lack of fundamental care and compassion is breathtaking and frankly a stain on all of us. There were some fantastic staff who I don’t want to tar with the brush, but this is not isolated.
Click bait, they’re not refusing to investigate, they HAVE investigated and, as horrible as it is, no offences have been committed. Now the staff member needs firing and removed from their professional body
They’re still too busy hunting that pensioner who called Thatcher a bastard
NHS workers commit crime. Police at fault. Standard.
Violating someone at his lowest and vulnerable moment is extremely horrible.
In all seriousness why do we pay for the police? Complete waste of money and resources.
The reality is we don’t have the police manpower to investigate frivolous cases like that. The police have enough on their plate with hate tweets and people driving at 34mph. Give them a break.
They’re too busy I investigating your mean tweets and private DMs
They had a phone in their hand, they could literally view thousands of naked images using their phone yet they still chose to violate someone in a vulnerable state and that shows this person is a risk.
What would happen if someone hired a private investigator and took matters into their own hands?
Lancashire Police may have made a grave error here. As of January, it is its now an offence to share private intimate images even if the intention to cause HAD is not present. Depending on exactly when this incident took place, there may well be an offence.
The police aren’t investigating something like this? What a shocker! Who would think that they wouldn’t have any interest? It’s not like they’ve got a long history of scandals and abuse.
Oh.
Psychiatric healthcare in this country is in a pretty poor state. The qualifications and requirements to become a in-patient support worker are far lower because they’re more in demand. Its a challenging environment to work in because a huge amount of it is trying to cover up deficiencies in social care and economic issues.
That is not something I wanted to read today at all. What an awful thing to do too a person. I don’t understand why this isn’t being investigated as a sex crime, because that’s what it is.
is there a away to put in a complaint against the Lancashire police or at least raise the issue further.
The patient should sue the worker for damages for psychiatric injury. That would teach her that you can’t abuse people and get away with it.
If the police investigated and the CPS prosecuted, the court would probably only fine her a few hundred quid anyway, so suing her for £20,000+ would have more impact.

Given what we’ve heard about the police in recent times, they probably [asked to be sent the video](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-67958136)
