Allegations
of Sexual Abuse |
|
After the 60
Minutes television programme segment on a false allegation of rape against a
young Also, one of
the claims made at the Doctors for Sexual Abuse Care conference was that one
in five women has been raped or suffered attempted rape. The simplest of
arithmetic indicates that half our population are women, and one-fifth
amounts to 360,000. At best, that is a flamboyant and outrageous claim. Many people
throughout the country would like to see sex abuse counsellors made
accountable for their work, and would like to see legislation amended on
these issues. They, like me, wish to reinstate balance and common sense in
this emotive area. |
