Former Australian of the Year and sexual assault survivor Grace Tame says she told police multiple times about threatening messages on social media that she alleges came from her childhood abuser, but that “no changes have come about” since she reported the messages.
On Tuesday, Tame told ABC Radio Melbourne that she believed her abuser was also targeting her charity, The Grace Tame Foundation, using aliases with sexual abuse innuendos and references that only she and her partner, Max Heerey, would know about. Tame was a student in Hobart when she was sexually abused by her 58-year-old teacher Nicolaas Bester in 2010. He was later sentenced to two years and 10 months behind bars for the abuse of Tame, who was 15 at the time, and served one year and eight months in prison.Tame shared screenshots on Monday which showed an account with the handle ‘Nico Bester’ make multiple posts which the Tasmanian sexual assault survivor said used her childhood email to threaten her.
