The news of rape, molestation, sexual attacks, sexual assaults etc. are nothing new in the present newspapers. However the alarming news is that sensual crimes are soaring high on these days.

Over the last two years, there has been a drastic increase in the number of sex crimes down Under. The recent police figures on pub and club offences have revealed that there were 61 sexual attacks in Victorian licensed premises last financial year including 22 rapes and 39 sexual assaults.

The easy targets of the sex predators are the drunks and drug affected women in the bars. The victims will be out of their senses and the predators will prey upon them in a vulnerable state. Most rapes took place in toilets, private rooms, alcoves and offices and sexual assaults happened anywhere from beer gardens to dance floors.

The shocking news is that in accordance to the police reports, the real number of sex crimes would be even higher as they were "notoriously unreported". A taskforce should be established to tackle city crime including police; rape support groups, government and liquor licensing would investigate the problem.
