"She said she has already received a number of private messages from women, detailing harassment by powerful men in the industry.
"These are serial predators who've been enabled by their workplaces" Spicer told The Australian.
"They deserve to be held to account after the way that they have behaved over many decades ... We're actually looking at prosecutions, as well as exposing these people," she said.
