There has been an increase in allegations made about sexual assaults on sets and various events this year that has caused concern in the adult productions sector in particular with producers and innappropriate content including threats of black listing for work.
Some have reported incidents to UKAP and tried to challenge producers indirectly with unsatisfactory outcomes.
It's important that victims of assault go direct to the police and report the incident if only to make it a matter of record and get a crime number to officially log an incident bofore considering further action.
There is not much anyone can do beyond an allegation but there is more you can do with a crime number that could lead to an investigation and even compensation.
Without these things all we have is kangaroo courts and committees without any real powers to enforce anything and victims should not be worried about the police not doing anything.
It is the job of the police to take your statement and make a record of it. With a crime number you can take action in other ways including seeking legal help to persue a private prosecution and press charges
It's important that you know your rights and remaining silent feeling powerless to do anything only allows the offenders to continue doing the same to others.
The first step is to notify the police and file a report. With a crime number you can take further action
Call: 999 as soon as you can after the crime
