Former Melbourne talent manager Ralph Carr was convicted of rape and sentenced to six years in jail, in August this year.

Now, Guardian Australia exclusively reports that a woman who was 21 at the time, whose name has been withheld, has alleged that she was also a victim of Carr's when she worked with him in 2025.

After Carr was jailed for raping a former employee in 2023, when she was in her 20s and he was 66, Guardian Australia reports that further allegations from more women came out. One of those women was the 21-year-old. 

Guardian Australia has announced:

“Today, she is joined by two more women who are coming forward to the Guardian with new allegations of unwanted physical sexual advances by Carr, in incidents dating from the mid-2000s and all involving women in their early 20s.

“The Guardian understands there is an ongoing police inquiry involving Carr. A spokesperson confirmed that Victoria police are investigating an alleged sexual assault in Melbourne in 2005 and said: ‘As investigations are ongoing it would be inappropriate to comment further’.”

The 21-year-old, identified by the pseudonym Sophie, alleges that Carr assaulted her at his apartment in LA.

After a group dinner, she returned to Carr's apartment and found herself alone with him.

Despite what allegedly transpired between them - which is the basis of the current police investigation - Sophie continued working for Carr for a year, for the “opportunities”; an indication of the gross power imbalance.

“She spoke to Australian police about that night in 2025, after hearing about the rape allegation for which Carr was convicted – but given that the alleged assault took place in a different jurisdiction, they told her there was nothing they could do.”

The current police investigation remains ongoing.
