But since then, we know that since Katie's death, 37 other victims involved in the equestrian world have came forward to say that they were abused by Crestwell.

The youngest one of those was just nine years old at the time of the abuse and the eldest around 21 years.

And, you know, they've also, police have also identified two other alleged perpetrators also in that horse training equestrian world as well who are currently under investigation.

You know, this report is damning in terms of the police inaction, but it also looks at the failure of the health trust.

Katie, about once a year from, she was quite young then,

was appearing in hospital with quite serious and ever increasingly, increasingly serious injuries.

And no one ever questioned them or referred her to see if she was a child at risk, which she clearly was.

And also the lack of safeguarding in the equestrian world in Northern Ireland.

I don't know what it's like in the south.

But if you wanted to teach a kid's football team or, you know, coach a Gaelic team, you would have to be access denied and police checked in order to be able to have access to children.

None of that existed in the world that Katie was in.

There was no need for any checks or balances.

And that was a real failure.

And also, I suppose that the inset misogyny that existed in that world where people like Cresswell were held up

you know, on a pedestal and also the misogyny within the PSNI.

I suppose one of the lines that jumped out at me was when the police ombudsman was investigating this and they spoke to some of the police officers who were involved in the initial investigation.

One described Cresswell as a bit of a bad boy,

And the other one said, oh, he's a bit of a philanderer.

And, you know, the report is damning in terms of this language.

They're saying such language referring to people who, as a predator, obscures the harm done by men like Cresswell and it's denied women's experience of their abuse.
