In the weeks before the Sydney Olympics in the year 2000, Bilal Skaf would lead a large group of young men in a series of brutal gang rapes. The female victims, some as young as 14, would endure sickening assaults for up to 6 hours.

The crimes would spark intense debate, alongside fervent media coverage, and the attacks would be described as events that 'you only hear or read about in the context of wartime atrocities'.

Join Shaun and Chloe as they discuss the background of the Skaf brothers, the escalation of the gangs criminality, the harrowing ordeals of the victims, the police investigation and prosecution, and the affects on the broader community.
