Episode Details

Gregory Browne, a 72-year-old man, received a nine-year seven-month prison sentence for a series of brutal rapes and assaults on his partner over seven years. Despite two convictions, his first was overturned due to his lawyers error, allowing him to remain free on bail for over a year. Victims advocates are outraged, arguing that good character evidence can trivialize violent sex crimes and betray survivors. Victoria is one of the few states still permitting this practice, while others have banned it. Pressure is mounting on the government to abolish this rule, ensuring no more victims endure the trauma of reliving their horrors in court.
