Police not charging Australian minister accused of rape
AP, CANBERRA
Police yesterday ruled out investigating an unnamed Australian Cabinet minister over an allegation that he raped a 16-year-old girl more than 30 years ago.
The decision by New South Wales Police adds pressure on Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison to establish an independent investigation to examine the accusation.
The accusation has created a cloud over the 16 men in Morrison’s 22-minister Cabinet and is feeding complaints of a culture within parliament that is toxic for women.
Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison speaks at a news conference following a Cabinet meeting at Parliament House in Canberra on Feb. 5.
