Freya Leach, 19, a second year student at the University of Sydney, said she was horrified to discover a right-wing woman also named Freya in her law assignment. Ms Leach felt targeted when a character in the assignment question with the same name as her kills a man, then has sex without disclosing her HIV-positive status and is ultimately murdered herself The criminal law assignment asks students to read three linked scenarios and determine criminal liability for each.
