Hunt for hospital sex killer continues as report reveals shocking toll of rapes on wards

A predator who sexually assaulted a grandmother while she lay in a hospital bed after suffering a stroke is still on the loose more than four years later.

It comes as horrifying new figures show that more than 6,500 rapes and sexual assaults were committed in hospitals in England and Wales between January 2019 and October 2022.

And only 265 people - or 4.1 per cent - are known to have been charged for these offences.
