Yasmin went to court to see her rapist jailed. That's not what happened
Yasmin, a Canberra woman, was shocked when her rapist received a light sentence instead of jail time. Despite her disappointment, she believes her fight for justice was still worthwhile. The case highlights significant issues within the justice system regarding the treatment of victims of sexual violence.
- ▪Yasmin's rapist was sentenced to a 20-month intensive corrections order and fined $5,000.
- ▪The judge's focus on the offender's circumstances left Yasmin feeling unheard as a victim.
- ▪An error by the prosecution led to important details being removed from the case without Yasmin's knowledge.
