| dbo:abstract | The murder of Leigh Leigh, born Leigh Rennea Mears, occurred on 3 November 1989 while she was attending a 16-year-old boy's birthday party at Stockton Beach, New South Wales, on the east coast of Australia. The 14-year-old girl from Fern Bay was assaulted by a group of boys after she returned distressed from a sexual encounter on the beach that a reviewing judge later called non-consensual. After being kicked and spat on by the group, Leigh left the party. Her naked body was found in the sand dunes nearby the following morning, with severe genital damage and a crushed skull. Matthew Grant Webster, an 18-year-old who acted as a bouncer at the event, pleaded guilty to her murder and was sentenced to 20 years in prison with a 14-year non-parole period. He was released on parole in June 2004, after serving 14½ years. Guy Charles Wilson, the other bouncer and only other person aged over 18 at the party, pleaded guilty to assault; a third male (aged 15) pleaded guilty to having sex with a minor. The investigation of Leigh's murder proved controversial, however, as several people who admitted to various crimes, including assaulting Leigh, were never charged; nor was anyone ever charged with her sexual assault. Webster's confession did not match the forensic evidence. The murder investigation was reviewed by the New South Wales Crime Commission in 1996, and by the Police Integrity Commission in 1998, with the latter recommending the dismissal of the detective in charge of the investigation. Leigh's murder received considerable attention in the media. Initially focusing on her sexual assault and murder, media attention later concentrated more on the lack of parental supervision and the drugs and alcohol at the party, and on Leigh's sexuality. The media coverage of the murder has been cited as an example of blaming the victim. Leigh's murder inspired a theatrical play entitled A Property of the Clan, which was later revised and renamed Blackrock, as well as a feature film of the same name. (en) L'affaire Leigh Leigh est une affaire criminelle australienne qui débute le 4 novembre 1989, lorsque le cadavre nu d'une adolescente de 14 ans est découvert sur une plage de Stockton. L'adolescente a été violée et a le crâne enfoncé. L'enquête révélera que la veille la jeune fille s'est rendue à la fête du seizième anniversaire d'un camarade, qu'elle a été violée une première fois sur la plage, est retournée à la fête, mais y a été agressée par un groupe de jeunes. Matthew Grant Webster, âgé de 18 ans au moment des faits et employé comme videur lors de l'événement, plaide coupable du meurtre et est condamné à vingt ans de prison, dont quatorze de sûreté. Il est libéré en juin 2004, après quatorze ans et demi de réclusion. Guy Charles Wilson, l'autre videur et seul autre majeur présent à la soirée, plaide coupable pour agression. Un adolescent de quinze ans plaide aussi coupable pour détournement de mineur. L'enquête est cependant sujette à polémique. Plusieurs suspects ne sont pas poursuivis, personne n'est accusé de viol, et les aveux de Webster ne correspondent pas aux preuves réunies pendant l'enquête. L'enquête est réévaluée en 1996 par la Commission de lutte contre la criminalité de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud et par la Commission indépendante pour l'intégrité de la police en 1998, la deuxième recommandant la suspension de l'inspecteur chargé de l'enquête. L'assassinat de Leigh Leigh est abondamment couvert par les médias. La presse se concentre d'abord sur l'agression sexuelle et le meurtre de la victime, mais se porte rapidement sur les défaillances de l'éducation parentale, la consommation de drogues et d'alcool à la fête, et enfin la sexualité de l'adolescente. La couverture médiatique est un exemple classique de faute de la victime. L'affaire inspire une pièce de théâtre, intitulée A Property of the Clan puis Blackrock, et adaptée au cinéma sous le titre Blackrock en 1997.
