#LUKE LAZARUS TRIAL#

вЂњIвЂ™ve spent far too long feeling embarrassed and ashamed. She seemed like she was on her way to being great,вЂќ she wrote on her Facebook profile.

I donвЂ™t get to know who I would be today had this not happened to me, and I mourn for that person. вЂњThe reality is this doesnвЂ™t get to be over for me. Judge Robyn Tupman decided вЂњLazarus reasonably believed the teenager, who told him she was a virgin, was consentingвЂќ and acquitted him, also accepting that the girl вЂњthought she wasnвЂ™t consentingвЂќ.ДЇollowing the acquittal the girl took to social media to express her disappointment in the judicial system and vent her anger.

вЂњAs the matter is before the Court no further comment will be issued.вЂќД®ven though Lazarus was found guilty by a jury in 2013 and spent 11 months in jail, the conviction was overturned on appeal during a judge-only District Court trial last month. Yesterday, I lodged an appeal to the Court of Criminal Appeal against the acquittal,вЂќ Mr Babb said in a statement. вЂњOn May 4, 2017, Luke Andrew Lazarus was acquitted on a charge of sexual intercourse without consent in a trial by judge alone at the District Court at Sydney. The Director of Public Prosecutions Lloyd Babb SC has lodged the appeal against a judgeвЂ™s decision last month to acquit Luke Lazarus, 25, of anally raping a then 18-year-old woman in an alleyway near Soho nightclub owned by his father, in May 2013.
