Public shame file plea

CARLY CRAWFORD. Sunday Herald - Sun. Melbourne, Vic.:Jan 14, 2007. p. 17

TWO child rape victims are demanding a public shame file outing pedophiles

roaming free in Victoria.

Outraged that they were not told of their attacker's release last August, the

young women have gone public in a bid to save other victims the same

uncertainty.

"This is not just about us, it's about everyone," said one teen known as

"Christina".

"They should let everyone know where they are."

Her friend and victim of the same offence, "Sarah" agreed.

"You just can't trust anyone and you never know, the person sitting on the bus

next to you could be a pedophile."

The pair were sexually assaulted by two men who plied them with alcohol and

marijuana in 2003 when they were only 14. Their attackers were 25 and 31 at the

time.

The 25-year-old, whose name is not being published for legal reasons, walked

free from jail in August after serving eight months' jail.

The girls learned of the man's release only after the Sunday Herald Sun

revealed disturbing details of his suspected living arrangements last month.

Authorities had launched an investigation into claims he had been sharing a

bedroom with a nine-year-old girl -- his niece -- after his release.

This week, his victims told of their disgust at the shroud of secrecy

protecting pedophiles from being publicly named.

"He knows who we are, his mates know who we are, why shouldn't everyone know

who he is?" said Christina.

She had suffered cruel taunts from those who knew the attacker and was

tormented with late night phone calls.

Victims must enrol on a special register to obtain details of their attacker's

release.
