Raped Tourist Wins Payout
A DUTCH backpacker repeatedly raped on a blind date while holidaying on the Sunshine Coast has been awarded more than $50,000 in criminal compensation by Maroochydore District Court. In a written judgment on the civil action that became available yesterday, Judge Keith Dodds ordered rapist Dale Andrew Oliver to pay the 28-year-old woman $52,500 compensation for injury. Oliver was convicted of five counts of rape on August 29, 2002, after a trial in the Maroochydore District Court in relation to the offences which occurred at his Buderim home on January 7, 2002. He was sentenced to seven years' jail. A subsequent appeal against conviction was dismissed by the Court of Appeal on November 22, 2002. An affidavit provided by the victim and medical reports showed she suffered severe post-traumatic stress after the incident, which still continues to a lesser extent, and developed eczema and a serious eating disorder from which it took her two years to recover. The victim also described feelings of violation, loss of self-esteem and self-confidence. AAP (21-6-2005) Leanne Edmistone |
