Child attack at Glasgow hospital among sex crimes detected by police

The sexual assault of a child is among the criminal incidents that have taken place on the grounds of Glasgow's biggest hospital in the last four years.

A number of sex crimes at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital between 2019 and 2022 took place within the A&E department with police also called out to investigate incidents in other wards.

Figures obtained through Freedom of Information show the incidents on hospital grounds were highest in 2021 with five detected by police - including one rape, two sexual assaults, and one case of coercing a person into being present/ looking sexual activity.
