#LetHerSpeak: Celebrity fight to change law silencing sexual assault victims | 60 Minutes Australia

There’s something you won’t see on 60 MINUTES, and it’s guaranteed to infuriate you. It’s the face of a brave woman who suffered terrible sexual abuse when she was 15. The perpetrator was her 58-year-old school mathematics teacher. But if that wasn’t bad enough, what has come since has added to the victim’s torment. As Allison Langdon discovers, a crazy Australian law means that even if the courageous survivor wants it, her identity can never be revealed. She is effectively silenced. However, the creep who ruined her life can talk about the case, and has been. He’s been spreading lies by painting himself as the real victim. Now Hollywood, and the high-profile leaders of the “Me Too” movement, including television actress Alyssa Milano, have taken on this young woman’s cause by demanding that we “let her speak”.
