You might want to also ask about the electronic sharing of sexual photographs, videos, rumours or information without consent under the Harmful Digital Communications Act 2015.
Then there's all the violence offences that firefighters also don't seem to be stood down for, like strangling their partner or ex-partner, or punching or pulling a knife on a member of the community the brigade is supposed to serve, etc. But I can see you're just focussed on sexual offences at the moment.
