I have autism and struggled with my sexuality and was arrested for a crime commited against me as I was a victim of grooming as a child. The police outed my sexuality to my family against my will. This has destroyed my life and caused me to have severe anxiety and depression. I made a complaint to the IOPC, but the police lied and they then did nothing.
