Several News Corp media outlets, including The Herald Sun and The Queensland Times, have published a story about American woman Deanna Lynn’s experience in the porn industry, the traumatic childhood that led her there, and how she escaped.

There must come a point when we as a nation say “enough is enough” when it comes to stories of intimate partner violence being perpetrated against women and children by their partners, ex-partners and fathers.  In the past two weeks alone, the horrific story of Gold Coast woman Kelly Wilkinson, who was set alight in her own home, allegedly by her estranged husband, and that of Henry Shepherdson, who strapped his infant daughter to himself and jumped over a reservoir at a tourist attraction in South Australia, are but a couple of the incredibly distressing stories that continue to make news and bring to our collective consciousness just how lethal domestic violence can become.  

The incredibly heart-breaking story of the murder of siblings Jack and Jennifer Edwards at the hands of their father in Sydney in 2018, highlighted again how precarious and fatal domestic violence situations can become, particularly when the police and other authorities fail in the exercise of their duties.  

It was recently revealed that a group of men aged 18-41 used social media to groom around 140 young girls in order to "ultimately engage in sexual contact with them".
