List drawn up of dozens of instances where family say police and medics missed chances to help teenager
The family of the Dorset teenager Gaia Pope have called for fundamental changes to the way the police, health trusts and other public services protect survivors of sexual violence after an inquest highlighted a string of missed chances to help her.
Pope’s family have drawn up a list of more than 50 opportunities they say police and health and social care professionals missed to support the 19-year-old, whose body was found 11 days after she vanished from the seaside town of Swanage.
