A year or so after the murder of Jill Meagher I was out in a group in a bar with a female who was an ABC employee. I along with another guy she knows well offered to walk her multiple times to a taxi rank to get a cab home. She refused to allow us to accompany her so eventually we gave in to her wish and let her walk off alone. I guess there are two (or is it 3) points:
1) The most likely person to sexually assault a female is a male they know
2) You can't force a female to accept what you regard as an act of assistance.
3) Statistically males are significantly more likely to be murdered than females in a public place. I was probably at greater risk of being murdered than she was even though that risk seemed negligible to non existent.
