As the 2017 Australian Bureau of statistics shows, the numbers of sexual assault victims increased by 8 per cent across Australia, which involve 24,957 victims in 2017. Also, One in five women has experienced the sexual assault since the age of 15, and nearly a half women are sexually abused in their lifetime.

On 24th April in 2016,  A Chinese girl has been raped and brutally stabbed to death by his Australian uncle.

A naked body was found inside the blowhole on the NSW Central Coast, floating face down with the obvious wound on her neck. The whole face was filled with fearful and terrified. This body is from a young Chinese girl –  Michelle Leng. Sexual assault is any type of sexual behavior that you do not consent to, which reach one of the highest rates in Australia.

Michelle Leng was stabbed for 40 wounds on her body, and had resisted fiercely in her final hours. The court said that Leng Mengmei was attacked by Barrett in the bedroom. He blocked her mouth and tied her up. Barrett also photographed a few photos of Leng’s naked body in bed.
