Comments:Court acquits Sydney shopkeeper of sexual assault charges

I'm not familiar with the laws in Australia with respects to the legal drinking age, but it sounds to me like a 17 year old girl should not have been out drikning as much as she had, nor should she had allowed the perpetraitor to be in her home at time in the evening. Certainly I am not saying that she asked for it. This man is a predator, but I believe that more could have been done by this young lady's family to safeguard her than was actually done. My heart goes out to her.
