Police in Queensland and New South Wales failed to investigate a series of alleged sexual assaults against a 14-year-old girl, lost key documents related to the case, and later told the alleged victim that her formal statement had been “destroyed”, a Guardian Australia investigation has found.
Legal sources say one of the allegations – a gang-rape attack by up to 15 teenagers and adult men in a Gold Coast hotel room in 1993 – is among the most serious ever reported to authorities in Australia.
