Thousands of disabled adults across England have been sexually abused, figures obtained by the Victoria Derbyshire programme suggest.

A series of Freedom of Information requests submitted by the programme uncovered 4,748 reports of sexual abuse against adults with disabilities over the past two years, based on information from 106 councils in England.

One victim, 鈥楻ose鈥�, told Victoria that people with physical and learning disabilities were seen as 鈥渁n easy target鈥� and that more support needs to be available.

Noelle Blackman, from the charity Respond, said the figures could be 鈥渢he tip of the iceberg鈥�.
