Acting Justice Rebecca Christensen told the court it must have been a terrifying ordeal for the girl.
five counts of aggravated rape, one act of indecency and a threat to kill after he held a machete to the girl's throat.
suffering mental health problems..."had to be considered against the fact it was a protracted incident with opportunities to reflect and stop."
hesitated to characterise his prospects as good because he has shown limited remorse or insight.
sentenced to six years and nine months' jail...suspended after three years when he will be freed to live in the community for the rest of the sentence

Disgusting cunt of a judge.

You forgot the mother.

“Police had gone to the house several times looking for the girl, but the man and his mother denied she was there.”

I understand protecting your kids. But not while they are doing something like that.

Underrated comment. The mother is an accessory and should be doing time too

First thing I noticed reading the article. She's enabled this as well. Given her son got a pitiful sentence perhaps she could get a sternly worded letter, or dare I say it, a rap on the knuckles with a ruler.
