一名澳大利亚女性在其施暴前男友因家庭暴力罪名出庭后，随即遭遇多次警方上门查访。[1]这名前男友面临8项家庭暴力指控，包括致伤殴打、普通殴打、跟踪和财产破坏。[1]
警察对这名女性（化名Sally）的住宅进行了至少三次上门访问，其中一次针对其工作场所，均基于匿名举报。[1]虚假举报声称Sally家中存在"酗酒女性虐待儿童"的情况。[1]由于举报为匿名性质，警方无法将其与前男友关联或指控其违反保护令。[1]
新南威尔士州警方家庭暴力指挥官Danielle Emerton表示，不知晓举报人身份会给受害者造成严重影响。[1]她指出："不知道谁在联系他们或警方会造成焦虑、压力和持续的脆弱感。"[1]警方确认虚假举报是一种公认的系统性骚扰形式，受害者可能因反复上门检查而遭受心理创伤。[1]据统计，新南威尔士州警方对受保护人员的130,000起事件做出回应，平均每三分钟一次。[1]
An Australian woman has experienced multiple unannounced police visits to her home and workplace following her ex-partner's appearance in court on domestic violence charges.[1] The former partner faces eight allegations of domestic violence, including assault causing injury, common assault, stalking, and property damage.[1]
At least three police visits to the woman's residence were conducted based on anonymous reports, with one visit occurring at her workplace.[1] The false allegations claimed there was an "intoxicated woman abusing children" in the home.[1] Because the reports were made anonymously, police were unable to link them to the ex-partner or take action against him for breaching a protection order.[1]
The pattern of conduct represents what authorities recognize as a systemic abuse of police resources. New South Wales Police confirmed that false reporting is an acknowledged form of harassment, with the psychological toll on victims potentially severe.[1] Danielle Emerton, a family violence commander with NSW Police, stated: "Not knowing who is contacting them or police will cause anxiety, stress and an ongoing sense of vulnerability."[1] NSW Police respond to approximately 130,000 incidents involving protected persons, averaging one response every three minutes.[1]
