Head of Royal Navy ‘really sorry’ after investigation finds proof of ‘intolerable’ behaviour

Warning – this report incorporates specific descriptions of sexual harassment.

Two years in the past, former Lieutenant Sophie Brooke spoke to Sky News revealing allegations of sexual harassment and bodily abuse. An inquiry was then launched into Royal Navy submarines, which confirmed proof of misogyny, bullying and different types of “intolerable” behaviour.

A public apology was made at this time by the First Sea Lord, Admiral Sir Ben Key, head of the Royal Navy, saying he’s "truly sorry" to any personnel that went by way of "any form of unacceptable behaviour" of their time.

Speaking to Sky correspondent Sadiya Chowdhury, Ms Brooke says she is "appreciative" of the apology and that she’s relieved it has "finally come to an end".
