Melbourne Woman Pleads Guilty to Raping Prison Officer Met on Tinder

A Melbourne woman has pleaded guilty to raping a male prison officer she met on the dating app Tinder. The 35-year-old, identified as Stephanie Dadd-Zammit, admitted to rape by compelling sexual penetration and assault.

During the encounter, the woman allegedly told the victim, "No one will believe you." The County Court judge presiding over the case characterized Dadd-Zammit's actions as "very disturbing behaviour."

The victim, who was present in court with his family, read out a tearful victim impact statement. Dadd-Zammit reportedly worked at Crown Casino for 12 years before being dismissed following reports of her offenses.
