Deena Lynch, the award-winning performer known as Jaguar Jonze, was allegedly sexually assaulted in a Brisbane nightclub by two music producers.
A sexual assault complaint made to police by a prominent singer-songwriter was not adequately investigated until the alleged victim spoke out in a television interview two years later, a court has been told.
The incident allegedly occurred over several hours at The Bowler Bar in the Fortitude Valley nightclub precinct. The venue has since closed.While police had carriage of the matter, Lynch became one of the first artists to speak out against the poor treatment of women in the local music industry. “We’re unable to prove what time my client attended the bar and what time he left, and we’re unable to use video footage to attempt to identify witnesses who could speak to the events inside the nightclub in the three hours.”
Jaguar Jonze during a media call ahead of “Eurovision – Australia Decides” at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre in February.“And yet, she didn’t use her phone during that period of time to tell anyone, seek help, or seek assistance from any of the hundreds of people within close proximity to her at the nightclub.”
