A Wife's Secret Recording Brings Justice to a Rape Conviction The High Court of Australia has reaffirmed its commitment to prioritizing the rights of survivors in cases of rape, ruling that a secret recording made by a woman whose husband had raped her on multiple occasions was admissible as evidence.
In 2019, the woman recorded an intimate conversation with her husband in which he admitted to having sex with her while she was asleep.
During the trial, he claimed he had made those statements simply to placate his wife. However, the recording proved to be a crucial piece of evidence in securing his conviction on two counts of rape.
