lol seems the Left of Politics lost their voice back when Kathy Sherriff was crying out for support.
The Left support of Brittany Higgins is nothing more than Political mischief, deep down they don't care one iota .Statement of Kathy Sherriff
In 1986 I was raped by Bill Shorten.
I was 16 years old at the time.
At a later point the matter was reported to Victoria Police.
In August 2014, after a long investigation, the Victorian Police told me they were not proceeding to prosecute Bill Shorten for my rape. I was devastated.
Part of the reason the police gave me was that the Victorian OPP thought there was no reasonable prospect of conviction - because it was only my word against Bill’s. Another reason was that some of the people I said were witnesses could not be found by the police.
The police told me that if new witnesses were located or other evidence was found, then they would look at reopening my case.
Since then I have worked hard to find the people I knew were at the conference that weekend in August 1986 and who knew what happened to me. I looked for all the evidence I could find to support my case. For 5 years this has been my focus so that I can have justice and this matter can go to trial.
My whole life has been impacted by the events of that weekend and until this case is dealt with by the courts, I cannot move past it.
Today, Peter Faris QC has agreed to assist me in my pursuit of justice and we have arranged to meet with Victorian Police to present the new evidence.
We call for my case to be reopened.
I have done this on my own accord without the assistance of the media or the many friends and supporters who have tried to help me in the past or in recent months.
This is my journey alone.
I know that many people will criticise the timing of my actions - but my right to justice and the rights of rape victims everywhere, is more important than politics.
If anyone has any questions they can contact me through face book or contact
Mr Peter Faris QC.
