Wollongong Photographer Accused of Raping Woman in Van after Night Out
A Wollongong-based photographer is currently facing accusations of raping a woman in his van following a night out in April 2022. The incident allegedly took place during a surfing trip with a group of women in their 20s, where two of those women met the accused, identified as Healy, outside the Milton Hotel in the early hours of the morning.
The case is currently being presented in court, and the Crown has informed the jury about the events that transpired on the night. The group of women had embarked on a trip to the South Coast, specifically for a surfing getaway.
According to the prosecution, two of the women encountered the accused, Healy, outside the Milton Hotel. It is alleged that he offered them a ride in his van. However, instead of taking them back to their accommodation, Healy is accused of raping one of the women in the van.
The woman who was allegedly assaulted has come forward to report the incident, leading to the current legal proceedings. The defense is expected to present its case after the prosecution has finished presenting evidence and calling witnesses.
The trial is ongoing, and the court will ultimately decide the outcome based on the evidence and testimonies presented by both parties. For more details and updates on the case, you can refer to the original article here.
