Leonard Stott

Inspector Leonard Stott ranks as a police officer in the West Yorkshire force during the 1980s. He targets female colleagues like Catherine Cawood with repeated groping, exemplifying the routine sexual harassment that early women officers endure. Catherine punches him once, prompting his permanent avoidance of her. Stott represents the unaccountable male dominance in policing, where predators operate with impunity until directly confronted.
