She claimed that police were aware of several grooming allegations against the alleged rapist dating back to 2014. Her cousin said: "I think the decision to take no further action on Gaia's rape case was devastating for her and why she was so concerned about it was because we knew there were other victims."People looking for missing Gaia Pope-Sutherland.Ms Pope-Sutherland died of hypothermia within 18 hours of going missing from her home in Swanage in Dorset, on November 7, 2017, an inquest found.
She said that the "litany" of errors included "[hanging] up" on Miss Pope-Sutherland when she called them on the day she went missing. Ms Pope-Sutherland was "pathologised" and given personality diagnoses when she raised concerns about the assault.
