Brisbane
: An Australian man, who was accused of raping a teenaged girl on a bus using his fingers, walked free from the court after he was awarded a suspended sentence.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, the victim was sitting in the bus with other students when the accused sneaked up to her and touched her breasts. He then put his hand under her skirt and penetrated her 'digitally' using his fingers.
In her statement, the victim said that while the accused was sexually assaulting her, she was being filmed by another student.
While the case was under trial, the Brisbane District Court ruled that the victim had consented to the assault although she claimed that she tried to fight back her attacker.
At the end of the trial, the accused walked free and was handed a suspended sentence by the judge who termed the attack as 'brazen'. The attacker's partner-in-crime who filmed the act on camera was given a six-month supervision order.
