It's an absolute fast that it has been 18 months and there is no report.

Sophie Brooke went public with allegations of sexual harassment and abuse on board the UK's nuclear armed submarines, prompting an inquiry. That was back in October 2022.

The first Sea Lord promised a report. My message is that for me and for the other women that have spoken, where is the report? We would like to see it and we would like an honest report, not a whitewashed version.

What were the core allegations and complaints that you raised?

That there is sexual assault, sexual harassment and misogyny is widespread within the submarine service.

Supported by her father, Sophie gave formal.

Evidence to the internal inquiry and to the military police. But rather than speedy outcomes, there's so far been silence.

I feel totally betrayed and very angry. Most employers have a duty of care. They have been absolutely negligent with that duty of care.

And when was the last time you heard something official from the navy?

I believe it was back in 2023, sometime in the. In the summer, when they promised that the report was imminent.

And how does that make you feel?

I think it's rude. It's like having a second injury.

A ban on women serving in the elite submarine service was lifted in 2011, prompting Sophie and others to join. But she claims the navy turned on her, accusing her of fraud after she raised concerns internally about how female submariners were allegedly being treated. Sophie showed me bank records that she claims proves she never cheated the navy out of any money for her travel expenses.

So this is me going between Glasgow and then coming south.

But she says she chose to plead guilty at court martial because she'd not been allowed more time to produce her evidence and her mental health had been poor. An MP who's raised awareness repeatedly about the treatment of women in the military.

Is appalled at how long the submarine.

Inquiry is taking for victims, witnesses and alleged perpetrators to have to wait 18 months for any outcome, and by all accounts, not even being kept up to date, is completely unacceptable. Justice delayed is justice denied.

A Royal Navy spokesperson said workaround. An investigation into allegations of inappropriate behavior in the submarine service is ongoing, and given the complex nature of the allegations, it's important to take time to do this thoroughly. All courts martial trials are independent and presided over by a judge advocate who's appointed in the same way as judges in other courts and ensures that matters are handled fairly and in compliance with the law. For Sophie and her father, the painful wait continues. Deborah Haynes, Sky News.
