现年24岁的Courtney Livingston对维多利亚州政府提起诉讼，称其就读的小学在2008年她遭到同学性侵时未能履行保护义务1。这起案件将于明年开庭审理，维多利亚州政府目前尚未提交答辩1。
根据当时的记录，Livingston在一年级时遭受性侵，学校仅对四名儿童处以课间暂停处罚1。她的律师Madison Duffy表示，若学校工作人员忽视警示信号或未能妥善监督，则应对同龄人的性虐待行为承担责任1。
维多利亚州正面临日益加剧的校园性别暴力危机。在2023年1月至2024年8月期间，该州共报告了2645起学生之间的性质不当事件，其中2025年前八个月有817起，至少368起发生在小学1。专家警告，青少年男生对女生和非二元人群的性骚扰、性侵和剥削行为构成了日益严重的威胁1。澳大利亚联邦警察指出，大多数网络剥削受害者是11至17岁女孩，犯罪者主要是12至24岁的男孩和年轻男性1。
Courtney Livingston, now 24, has filed legal action against the Victorian government, alleging that her primary school failed to protect her after she was sexually assaulted by a classmate when she was six years old in 2008.1 The case, involving Redan Primary School near Ballarat, is scheduled for trial next year, with the state government yet to file its defense.1
The lawsuit arrives amid growing concern about sexual misconduct within Australian schools. Victoria recorded 2,645 incidents of student-on-student sexual misconduct between January 2023 and August 2024, with 817 cases reported in the first eight months of 2025 alone, including at least 368 at primary schools.1 According to a 2023 Australian child abuse study, 18.2 percent of respondents had experienced child sexual abuse perpetrated by adolescents, while 11.7 percent experienced abuse by adults.1
Livingston's lawyer, Madison Duffy, argues that schools can be held liable for peer-to-peer sexual abuse when staff fail in their duty of care, including by overlooking warning signs or failing to provide adequate supervision.1 In Livingston's case, she claims Redan Primary School imposed only lunch detention on four children involved.1 Experts warn that sexual violence on campuses has become a crisis, with particular concern about sexual harassment, assault, and exploitation by adolescent males toward girls and non-binary youth.1 Data shows that 34.8 percent of boys aged 13 to 17 hold misogynistic attitudes, compared with 23.4 percent of Generation X males.1 Australian Federal Police report that most victims of online exploitation are girls aged 11 to 17, with most offenders being boys and young men aged 12 to 24.1
