Federal police said in a statement Saturday that it received a complaint in relation to a historic sexual assault and will be liaising with the relevant state authorities, without providing further details on the alleged assailant. The assault took place in 1988, ABC’s Four Corners news program reported, citing an anonymous letter shared by a source close to the alleged victim.
