Former prison officers from New South Wales (NSW) have raised alarming concerns about the practices within Corrective Services NSW (CSNSW), alleging that the organization protects sexual abusers and silences women who report such incidents. Internal documents reveal that CSNSW had multiple reports concerning Scott Hawken, a former officer accused of making unwanted sexual advances towards female staff, three years prior to him raping a colleague in 2022. These statistics are staggering, with over 64 cases of sexual abuse or harassment reported involving CSNSW staff between January 2020 and April 2023, highlighting significant issues related to workplace safety and accountability within the agency.
