THE MOVIE

In 2017, an unidentified woman accused respected Australian actor John Jarratt of an historic rape, which allegedly happened over 40 years ago. John Jarratt maintained

his innocence of this assault from the start

but the allegation and the publicity surrounding it

was enough to cost John Jarratt his career and his livelihood.

The female bringing the accusation walked out of court

without this costing her a cent.

And she still has a suppression order protecting her identity.
