A teenager who allegedly raped another teen in the mental health ward of Perth Children's Hospital crawled behind chairs to the girl's room before the alleged assault, court documents reveal.
According to the documents, it was alleged the boy stayed in the girl's room for hours and went unchecked by nurses who had not done their rounds because of the boy's "certain behaviour" earlier in the day and into the night. Hollingsworth said the alleged victim could not face the trial due to the significant stress on her mental health and the risk of self-harm.
The prosecution discontinued the charges on the basis that it was unlikely a conviction would be reached and it would be unethical to make the alleged victim testify.
