EXCLUSIVE | A federal prosecutor has alleged she was made to feel like a “sexual object” after being repeatedly sexually harassed by a serving South Australian Magistrate, prompting the Judicial Conduct Commissioner and the Chief Justice to launch investigations.
A sitting South Australian judicial officer has been accused of harassment, the Equal Opportunity Commissioner has revealed, after a respondent to the Commission’s recent inquiry into the state’s legal profession refuted a published claim that only former officers were accused of problematic behaviour.
South Australia’s chief justice Chris Kourakis says he was aware of allegations of sexual harassment and assault in the legal profession, but hasn’t been in a position to investigate the “open secret” for two decades.
South Australian judicial officers and senior barristers have been accused of “rampant” sexual harassment and assault in a damning report, which cited one magistrate allegedly messaging a lawyer during a court hearing to say he imagined them “kneeling between his legs at the bench”.
The organisers of Adelaide’s March4Justice rally, which attracted 8000 women’s justice protestors to Victoria Square on Monday, have called on Parliament’s Standing Orders Committee to publicly reveal whether it is considering the recommendations of a damning sexual harassment report.
