A woman who was indecently assaulted while she was a member of Hillsong Church is seeking damages from the mega-church for psychiatric injury.
The woman is simultaneously suing the church, a college she attended at the time and the male perpetrator of the assault for damages, with a week-long hearing commencing in the Supreme Court in Sydney on Monday.
"The claim against the church relates to how it responded to the report, including managing the plaintiff's welfare," Hillsong lawyer Gillian Mahoney told the court. He described the assault as "single, fleeting, spontaneous", which he said would have q bearing on the level of psychological injury incurred by the woman.
