A woman who claims she was raped by Bill Shorten at a Labor Youth Camp when she was 16 years old has launched a fundraiser to demand her police file so she can sue him in civil court. Kathy Sherriff alleges the former Labor Party leader was 19 years old when he raped her at the camp in Portarlington, Victoria, in 1986. Mr Shorten has vehemently denied the allegations numerous times since they came to light in 2014 and was cleared by a police investigation. Detectives began investigating the accusation in late 2013 but did not lay charges, concluding Mr Shorten had no case to answer.
