Morrow’s interview was broadcast on the same day I received an update from the detective who had been investigating my historical case of childhood sexual abuse for almost five years. In the radio interview, Morrow referenced an increasing number of “survivors standing on the court steps, encouraging others to go the justice route”. Firstly, the DPP has not initially been forthcoming with reasons why the case will not proceed. After pursuing this case for five years, the justice system, in its current format, requires me to further advocate for myself. Why can’t the reason be communicated to the survivor on the same day they are told the case will not proceed?
