Please see below reporting from the Illawarra Mercury. We've also seen multiple testimonies from women on our Facebook group about this man's despicable behaviour. 

"Rowan McDonald allegedly made a school girl feel "uncomfortable" and "scared" when he put his hand on her thigh while on a public bus". We've also heard of multiple personal accounts of Mr McDonald exposing himself in public whilst on campus. source: https://www.illawarramercury.com.au/story/7164413/man-rubbed-schoolgirls-thigh-while-masturbating-on-gong-shuttle-bus-court/?fbclid=IwAR3QPwyIedCR4s5S1Fcc1RXG5OSLj9qOG8tMVHFkx4xBkRqJqIfkb4qSRgk

  • This is not okay.
  • This is not safe. 
  • What is the NSW police force doing to ensure offenders like these are not allowed into our society?
  • What are the local members of parliament, and leaders at UoW doing to ensure that someone with a 15+ year criminal history is barred permanently from campus and the public transport systems?
  • How was this man allowed to be on campus and our Wollongong Free Shuttle bus in the first place?
  • What assurances do people have that this won't happen again? 

If this has brought up any trauma for you please contact:
