Overview
- Detectives issued a fresh public appeal for information to identify a second man alleged to have abducted a 19-year-old and raped her after she was forced into a car and driven to an Elwood Beach car park.
- The victim, now in her 50s and speaking under a pseudonym, addressed media about lasting trauma and shared artwork reflecting the impact of the assault.
- Travis Scott Rielly was identified after a 2021 DNA match following a Queensland arrest, extradited to Victoria, and in 2025 received a nine-year, nine-month sentence for aggravated rape.
- Rielly admitted in court he helped force the woman into the vehicle and took turns raping her, saying he met the other men that night and did not see them again.
- Police appealed to anyone who knew Rielly around the time of the attack to provide details on his associates, urging the public to contact Crime Stoppers with information.
