Mount Rennie rape case
The Mount Rennie rape case is the only gang rape in Sydney during the 1880s that led to a full conviction〔Cossins, p. 13.〕 of the participants involved in the crime—young larrikins of the "Waterloo Push". The attack is sometimes referred to as the "Mount Rennie Outrage" or the "Waterloo Outrage". The crime was a pivotal point in New South Wales history, coming after a history of failure of other gang-rape trials in that time period.
==The crime==
The gang rape occurred on 9 September 1886. Sixteen-year-old Mary Jane Hicks had been educated at the Bathurst convent school, then worked as a domestic servant at Katoomba, and at a hotel and private houses in Sydney.〔(The Outrage Upon A Young Girl At Moore Park: Statement made by the victim ) ''Sydney Morning Herald'' 13 September 1886 p 4, at Trove〕 While walking to a city employment registry, she was offered a lift by Charles Sweetman, the driver of a hansom cab, who instead drove her in his cab to the Moore Park area, then an isolated piece of bushland in the suburb of Waterloo. He attempted to molest her in the cab but she screamed for help. Two young men approached and took her out of the cab, purporting to save her from disgrace.〔(The Waterloo Outrage: Trial of the prisoners ), ''Sydney Morning Herald'' 23 November 1886, p. 4, at Trove〕 At this point, Sweetman departed with his cab.
The young men walked her to a different isolated location where they were joined by several others, some of whom began to take turns in raping her. The girl's screaming was heard by a passer-by, William Stanley, who attempted to rescue her but was driven off by the gang with bricks, stones and bottles.〔 Stanley ran to distant Redfern police station, where he reported the crime at about 4 p.m. When the police arrived on the scene at 5 p.m., they interrupted the crime which was still in progress, but were unable to apprehend any of the fleeing offenders.〔(Terrible Outrage on a Girl ) ''Sydney Morning Herald'', 11 September 1886, at Trove〕 Following inquiries, twelve men were identified and eventually arrested, including Charles Sweetman, the cabman.〔 At least one reporter formed the view that Sweetman had deliberately planned to deliver a girl to the push members who were assembled and waiting for the purpose.〔
The victim, Mary Jane Hicks, testified that she had fallen into and out of consciousness during the ordeal, but gave evidence that at least eight men held her down and took turns to rape her, and that many others were present, including some who had not been apprehended.
