In a shocking turn of events, an unnamed female television personality from Channel 7, who has already been accused of a series of grave offences, has been hit with an additional 40 charges, including rape and serious child abuse charges.

The proceedings against the woman, whose identity is being withheld due to legal reasons, continued in Richlands Magistrates Court, Queensland, on Tuesday, November 28.


The court heard that the woman now faces a total of 80 charges, with 38 of the new charges being filed on November 7 this year and another one on November 10.

The charges date back several years and span several locations across Queensland.

They include further allegations of rape and serious child abuse, as well as accusations of observations or recordings in breach of privacy in the genital or anal region, torture, disabling to commit an indictable offence, and assault occasioning bodily harm.

The woman's defence lawyer has requested an adjournment to gather more material on the fresh charges. One charge of common assault has since been dropped.


This case has been one of the first to test Queensland's new sexual offence identification laws. As of October 3, persons accused of, and charged with sexual offences, including rape, attempted rape, assault with intent to commit rape, and sexual assault, can have their identity published by the media.

However, in this case, the woman's identity has been withheld due to concerns that she might self-harm following the media coverage of this high-profile case by Channel 9's A Current Affair.

It was also reported that the accused attempted to self-harm last month.

The woman's partner, who also cannot be publicly named, was charged in October with two counts each of torture and common assault and one charge each of observations or recordings in breach of privacy and assault occasioning bodily harm.


Magistrate Aaron Simpson has increased the woman's bail, and the matter has been set down for committal mention on January 23, 2024.

It was reported that the media had made multiple efforts to reach out to Channel 7, seeking their comment on whether they plan to cancel or modify the show and inquiring about the duration of their awareness of the allegations.

The news source stated there was no response from the network, which subsequently broadcasted the details of the allegations but did not mention that the woman and her partner had previously appeared on the channel.

A spokesman for the network declared they could not ‘make any comment on the matter’ for legal reasons.

Understanding Queensland's New Sexual Offence Identification Laws

The case of the Channel 7 star is one of the first to test Queensland's new sexual offence identification laws.

The new laws aim to balance the rights of the accused with the public's right to information. They also aim to encourage victims to come forward and report sexual offences by showing that the justice system takes these crimes seriously and is willing to hold perpetrators accountable.

Quite honestly why even put this up. We all have access to the news online. Nothing to say really as it has not come before the court, the woman has not been named, end of story.
 
I "heard" its one of the My Kitchen Rules, woman and her husband. I don't give a damn who it is, famous or not, I hope she/they get what they deserve.
I did a bit of research today and looks like you could be correct .
There is stuff on line showing this couple had even shortened their name .

It's come out that there are 80 charges now against them .

A woman who appeared on a Channel 7 TV show is facing almost 80 rape and child abuse charges, court documents reveal.
The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons after she successfully won her bid to keep her name secret by being granted a non-publication order, was originally charged in August this year with 36 offences, including multiple counts of rape and a raft of serious child abuse allegations

I am shocked about this situation, what on earth is happening. What is going on ?
It can't get my head around the dreadful number of charges that have been brought against the woman and her partners involvement. One charge would be enough, but all those other ones it is incredible. Where are we headed ? I can
Only shake my head in disbelief.

I say name and shame if they are 100% guilty.
Worried they will self harm !! What about the harm she has done to those children! 40 charges !
let her self harm. She can cut her throat and I'll supply the knife. When I was being abused in the 1950's no-one believed this would happen to kids. At least these days we can do something about it. Name the bitch and lock her up totally and throw away the key.

I believe Qld has just passed a law to name these grubs , once charged they are named , taken a bloody long time ,people pushing for change helped.

I believe Qld has just passed a law that will name the perpetrators once they have been charged, Long overdue,the wheels of justice turn slowly. A person who tried to keep his name quiet was named recently. The case has been making headlines for quite some time, and now he is charged with similar offence.

My half sister was being sexually abused by our father from when she was 8 to 14. She had told me and I called docs and the police and they went to their house and interviewed her in front of our sperm donor. She was 12 and very scared and nothing happened and the abuse continued.
I was raised by my grandparents . I called docs again and nothing happened, she told her school counsellor, nothing happened . Then at14 she was able to move to Taree and live with her grandmother.

She went through so much , mentally she was drained, couldn't trust people, continued nightmares . Then she married and had trouble being intimate with hubby and eventually divorced.
Then she met a very supportive man and after many years of therapy she went to the police and after 2 years of investigation he was charged and is now serving an 11 year jail term out after 8 ,
People ask why after this long , well no one listened to her except me and then she felt she needed closure and that was by him being brought to face the law and pay for his actions like she suffered

No one knows what goes on behind closed doors, and for years this type of behaviour was pushed into the too hard basket , it takes a lot of courage for abused children to speak up, your half sister was very lucky she had you to turn to ,I hope she is coping with what happened to her and I wish. Her all the happy 😃 times she missed out on.

So she should be held in a cell & should not have her name withheld. If it was a male we'd all know who it was. I hope her name is finally released. She tortured those children giving no thought about the trauma they have suffered, so why should she be protected.

Apparently her husband did as well and both names are withheld
 
Unfortunately we can't wrap them in cotton wool. Road accidents, concerts, clubs...lots of high risk activities. The hardest part of being a parent is the responsibility of doing all you can to prepare them for the world. Sometimes it is just bad luck.
One thing I have learned about bringing up children is that if you haven't set all behavioral standards by age 12... forget it! Too many parents start trying far too late!
 
WARNING: To those prudes out there in SDC land, this account factually details police procedures regarding an alleged sexual assault. If it is not you're cup of tea, scroll further down.

I have been named as a perpetrator of a sexual assault when I was in my late 30s. After a night out drinking (nothing new there 😜) with two Australian Navy officers and an early 20s girl, I went back to a house to continue after the local club had closed. As I lived about 300 metres away, I staggered home at about 3 in the morning.

Fast forward to 7 am Saturday morning. I was awoken by my then wife who said "There are two detectives who want to see you". WHAT!! One male, the other female, after the customary "where were you, what time and with whom" questions, said I was on suspicion of forcing the young girl in question to perform oral sex with force in parkland at Callala Bay between the two residences at approximately 4 am. Well, that was a major shock and I wouldn't have forgot it if it happened!

In company of the male detective, I was asked to drop my pants and flop out the old fella so he could manual inspect it with gloved hands. Well that was the epitome of sexual arousal....not. The reason for this procedure was to check for bite marks, of which the girl allegedly inflicted on my now shrunken member. Nothing to see there so all was good and the detectives left without further action.

Some hours later, I fronted up to the house in question to find out the whole story. Apparently, the detectives told the two Navy guys that this girl had made no fewer then eight false sexual assault allegations in the Shoalhaven area in the past few months. So in reality, she should have been the one charged in my view!

After the initial anger dissipated, all I can do is laugh when I think about it, but how many men have been a victim of such vindictive behaviour in the past and been charged, convicted or even jailed in the past?
