A letter from a mystery sender containing a detailed statement from the alleged victim was sent to Scott Morrison and two South Australian senators last week. The woman, who died by suicide in Adelaide last year, claimed she was raped by the man at an event in Sydney when she was 16. The ministerial code of conduct requires a minister to stand aside if charged with a crime.

Note: This story discusses sexual assault and suicide. More politicians have come forward as having known about a historical rape allegation against a current cabinet minister before it became public last Friday, with Labor MP Daniel Mulino telling the ABC he was contacted by the alleged victim, a friend of his, in December 2019. Liberal MP Celia Hammond was also sent a 31-page dossier outlining the allegations on Wednesday along with the offices of Scott Morrison, Labor’s Sarah Hanson-Young and Australian Federal Police Commissioner Reece Kershaw. Hammond had been asked by Morrison to lead an inquiry into the Liberal party’s workplace culture following separate allegations, although that was later rolled in a broader, independent investigation.
