Nasty peace of sht!!

Oh so now they are going to smear the reputation of innocent young school girls, typical and revolting. This woman is guilty, the people who allowed her to flee the country & hide her are guilty, the rabbis are guilty of staying silent, just like the Catholic Church.

Death sentence sick o

Israel, why is this woman not on a plane back to Australia to have her day in court?

They were children. They don't consent

Revolting. Really disappointed that she's been protected for so long.

Nice type.

Will she try the Brian Houston defence & claim the children seduced her?

Judicial system abuse at its best ...

Have I read this right? is the lawyer admitting in a way, that the behaviour of his client was abusive? If so, end of story. send her back to Melbourne. stop wasting our time.

that's funny. 'consented to the abuse' it wouldn't be abuse then would it?

They all say that. Blame the victim. Typical.

Desperation?

she absconded and does not want to face justice /says it all !

This person is a criminal, send her back to face the charges. She is the devil.

doesn't matter, minor.

UK accuses China of 'gross and egregious' human rights abuses against UyghursIn a further escalation of diplomatic tensions between the nations, Dominic Raab accuses China of human rights abuses in the Xinjiang region and foreshadows a change in extradition arrangements with Hong Kong. Emperor Xi and his minions really need to get over themselves. Just a nasty mob of authoritarian thugs. This is not a new thing for China, I can remember way back when I was a child, when they treated their own people like slaves, then hit with famine, if it hadn't have been for the WHO & other countries giving aid more would have perished. And look at them now, arrogant & vile. Please take care some physical measures to sanction those 🇨🇳 officials who are involved in exploiting human rights of uyghurs and Tibetans. They might have children studying UK while uyghurs children are taken away from their parents and brainwashed. This is intolerable
