Maddison Gabriel (born 16 September 1994) is an Australian model who gained notoriety when, at the age of 12, she was controversially named the face of the 2007 Gold Coast Fashion Week.[1]
Gabriel was born to Brian Gabriel and Michelle Gabriel[4] and has a sister, Brooke.[citation needed] Gabriel was able to travel to New York, Milan, and London, and also continue her studies at school.[5]
In October 2008, it was reported that convicted American sex predator Martin Robertson had written to the Australian newspaper The Sunday Telegraph from his Texas prison cell to request articles about Gabriel for a book he claimed to be writing. Gabriel's mother criticized the media for widely reporting concerns that her daughter was too young to be a catwalk model, resulting in Robertson learning of her daughter.[6]
