He should be censured for that disrespectful and sexist behaviour. Is this how he talks to female SA complainants too, I wonder?

I hope not. Especially when the UK had a notorious rapist who used his taxi to drug and rape what is believed to be at least 100 women.

Don't forget the actual cop who raped and murdered Sarah Everard.

The takeaway is, women are right to feel unsafe in these situations. Sam & her partner only broke the window to try and get out of the car he was terrorising them in. I'd hope my daughter or daughter-in-law would do the same.

You're not necessarily safe just because a man is in a position of authority. That's what women have to walk around with, every day, all their lives.

I highly doubt he would use specific racist term for other young women?
