After seeing her abuser put behind bars, Annie Jones and her mother Tracey Morris have a new fight on their hands.

“What we’ve put forward is for the Government to look at their legislation around sentencing and bring in a standard non-parole period for child sex offences that has actually been brought into NSW,” Tracey told news.com.au.Annie and Tracey eventually plan to go state-by-state and campaign for reform on this issue so that every child victim can get the same justice under the law.

In sentencing, the court heard the former air force officer, who was once recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours, abused his stepdaughter repeatedly when she was 13 and 14 years old. “I was getting in trouble for sneaking out with a friend to go to a festival and then they saw I had a hickey,” Annie told news.com.au back in August.It was the final blow for Annie, who responded to his cruel gibe by yelling: “Well, it’s nothing more than what you’ve ever done to me.”
