Rape survivor faces attacker's release after parole granted in Wollongong case
Kane Kelly, convicted of raping eight women in Wollongong between 2013 and 2019, has been granted parole after serving seven of his ten-year sentence and will be released in three weeks.
Why it mattersThe survivor faces the knowledge that her rapist will soon be in the community again, and hospitals do not flag convicted sexual predators on patient files, meaning she could encounter him without warning at work.
AustraliaNSW parole laws allow a rapist convicted of eight sexual offences to serve just seven of ten years, and victims in hospitals have no way to know if a convicted attacker walks into their ward.
