I don't want it to be about me.

I want it to be about the crime and the perpetrator.

The more we go into victim territory, then the more the defence starts pulling victims apart, starts going through their life story, and then we as victims then have to defend ourselves more.

which is what we've seen over and over again.

I think it should be based on the perpetrator, on the crimes that they've committed, and everybody should be equal as a victim.

Yeah, it was very rare, they said at the time.

I didn't know he was stalking me really till after the fact.

I'd said a few times I feel like someone had been in my house to my friends.

And because I was 19 and young, everyone was like, oh, I think, you know, I think maybe you're just thinking too much into it.

And I had a key go missing, my spare key.

And so there was no broken end to that key was taken.

From inside my home.

Where was this?

In Albury.

Okay.

Yep.

Yep.

So I'd been out and I'd come home.

I think it was like two o'clock in the morning.

My friends had brought me home and then we'd sat up and then they'd left and I went to bed.
