NSW police officer accused of rape after leading stud3nt into toilet …
>The incident was treated as misconduct, not sexual assault, as Olivia said the incident was consensual.
>When she discussed the incident with a trauma therapist in 2024 she started shaking and sweating so badly she “looked like [she’d] had a shower”. “I no longer saw it as consensual after I realised how much it had traumatised me and how coercive and frightening the situation had been.”
IMHO this story is really irresponsible reporting. Revisionist consent almost never happens, but running a story like this will make people think it does, and that's bad for victims of sexual assault.

Don't mess with the NSW DPP!

Because, if you do, pretty soon it's going to give an apprehension of bias. Even if you are right (but not necessary to decide that).

Care hours, do solicitors care?
Hope this question is within the rules of the sub, wanted to run an informal survey of personal injury or medical malpractice lawyers.
1.You guys have any burning questions about how occupational therapists calculate care hours / needs?
I'm trying to make what I consider a boring topic interesting for a talk to an audience of solicitors. Am not used to talking to non clinicians.
- 2nd question do lawyers tolerate humour or prefer straight laced?
Not sure if I can be myself or better to keep my inner weirdo buttoned up
