WESTERN WOMEN IN SOUTH KOREA AND OR JAPAN GETS RAPED AND THE AUTHORITIES BLAMES THE VICTIM AS AUSSIE AIRDRE MATTNER FINDS OUT THE HARD WAY AS SEX CRIMES IN SOUTH KOREA INCREASED 40% SINCE 2008 AND THE AUTHORITIES CAN ONLY TRY TO WHITE WASH THE VICTIMS ORDEAL - AS ONLY THE VICTIM CAN FIGHT BACK WITH ITS OWN INVISTIGATION TO MOVE THE MOUNTAIN OF RED TAPE IN BRINGING PROSECUTION FOR HER RAPIST FROM A NIGERIAN MAN

WHEN Aussie Airdre Mattner was drugged and raped while on holiday, she had no idea her ordeal had only just begun.

The 25-year-old from Adelaide realised the only way to find justice in South Korea was to run her own campaign. In doing so, she exposed a culture where violence against women, particularly foreigners, is often accepted.
Her fight has led her to other victims of sex attacks who have been ignored by the authorities, in a shocking pattern explored in tonight’s 60 Minutes.
Airdre, who teaches English in Japan, was visiting Seoul with her boyfriend and a friend last September, and decided to stay on a few days alone.
Like many Australians, she believed the South Korean capital was safe, and joined a pub crawl advertised on Facebook to get to know the city better.
After just three drinks, things went hazy and she found herself in a taxi with a stranger, she wrote on her GoFundMe page, which has raised almost $18,000.
She was violently sick, but managed to plead with the driver to take her to her hostel, showing him the address on her phone. He ignored her.
“The next thing I recall is being on a bed in a hotel room,” she said. “The man was on top of me. I struggled and tried to push him away but was again too heavily drugged to manage anything.
“I woke up the next morning completely naked. All my money was gone. My clothes and belongings were torn and strewn across the room.”
