Case No. 0871Sexual abuse (alleged), protection order

Man secures Protection Order against father who accused him of sex with his mother

A man applied for a Protection Order against his father at a Family Law Court, saying his father had created a false narrative that he had sex with his mother after making recordings in his room. The man told the court that his mother had never touched, harmed, or raped him, and that his father had played recordings to his brother and pressured the siblings to sign a legal document to avoid the mother facing 10 years in prison. Judge Harris granted the Protection Order on 7 June 2026 and adjourned the case until October, with the order remaining in place until then.
