More than 60 women who attended a Melbourne private school in the late 1990s have allegedly received used condoms in the mail, as well as graphic, sexualised handwritten messages.
The mail has been sent to the women by an unknown perpetrator, with the women reporting the incidents, which have been ongoing since March 20, to police.
Police said the women’s addresses were obtained from a yearbook for the class of 1999 at Kilbreda College.
Most victims have received multiple letters, all with used condoms. Police investigators are carrying out DNA and handwriting analysis to attempt to find the offender.
Detective Acting Senior Sergeant Grant Lewis said the letters were suggestive, threatening and sexualised.
Police believe the victims are part of a targeted attack, with the letters mailed to addresses in Melbourne’s southeastern and eastern suburbs.
One of the women who received a letter at her former address, Bree, said her mother had called her after receiving the letter, asking if she should open it for her.
“Her reaction was quite shocked and upset. She was really grossed out and her and dad were worried thinking someone was targeting me,” Bree told reporters.
“It’s beyond a joke now. We just want it to stop. One of the girls has received four letters and she’s just over it.”
“We’ve got no idea who it could be. No one can seem to find a connection. We can’t think of anybody who has a grudge against us.”
Police are urging anyone with information to come forward and said their message to the offender is ‘you need to stop this’ and ‘we will find you'”.
