Repost: #LetHerSpeak Janelle O’Connor’s sexual assault. WARNING – VIOLENT CONTENT - #159 Australian True Crime

This episode is a repost of episode #159, originally published on May 21st 2020.
Janelle O’Connor was the first person in the State of Tasmania to exercise her right to be named as a rape survivor, on the 24th of April 2020. Up until then it was illegal for rape survivors to self-identify. Janelle and NinaFunnel, the founder of the #LetHerSpeak campaign join us to explain the legal changes, and Janelle tells us her story. 
WARNING – This is an extremely disturbing story, please exercise discretion.
