Justice for Young Online Victims – Sonya Ryan
Posted on: Mon 19 Jun 2017
Sonya Ryan has passionately been pushing for tougher laws against online sexual predators since her teenage daughter was murdered 10 years ago by a 50-year-old man who pretended to be a young man in order to lure her into a meeting.
Last Thursday 15 June 2017, the Federal Parliament enacted ‘Carly’s Law’, allowing police the power to intervene when someone is lying about their identity and age to a minor on the internet.
“She was really a compassionate, loving girl, she was really sensitive and I think this is very much in line to what she would want to see happening”
Sonya Ryan, Carly’s mother, and founder of Carly Ryan Foundation joins Jennie Lenman to discuss.
