This week I was in court debating the failings of name suppression with a judge and the crown. Interestingly at the same time I was in court charged with naming violent sex offenders, pedophiles, rapists and dirty doctors one of their pedo pals was appearing in court in Australia for sentencing.
In Australia there is no name suppression like pedos and criminals use to hide behind here in New Zealand. There is one of the pretense of “protecting the victims” because in Australia they know that no one will ever bring the victim into the case. So while Judge Harvey sneered at me and described some of my lawyers arguments as reprehensible regarding the alleged identification of victims we can watch how a real trial of a disgusting pedophile is conducted in Sydney.
The 14-month-old girl had an inkling of the imminent sexual attack on her.
She tried desperately to crawl away from the man, but was grabbed by the legs and dragged across the bed so that the vile assault could begin, a Sydney court has been told.
She screamed and struggled in vain as her nappy was ripped off.
The toddler was one of eight victims molested by David Shane Whitby, who in July was found guilty of 120 child sex offences.
He assaulted children over a 10-year period, photographing and filming the acts.
If this case was held in New Zealand I would bet you dollars to a knob of goat crap that some liberal know it all judge would be applying name suppression vigorously so that the pedo criminal could attempt to be rehabilitated. We sure has hell wouldn’t be allowed to know the name of a man convicted of 120 child sex offenses, after all one judge thought that having 300,000 pornographic images, many of children was on the light side of offending and since none of the children were from New Zealand (how could he have known that?) then the dirty doctor who had all the porno on his ACC supplied computer could remain anonymous.
As Judge Harvey reserves his judgement he should perhaps think very carefully about the wisdom of maintaining a law that actually protects criminals and certainly whilst it may provide slight shadow of protection to victims allows new victims to be created when these monsters are allowed to remain anonymous.
Pedobear Simon Power should also reflect on his refusal to allow an equivalent of Megan’s Law to be enacted because he and his staff are too busy trying to stop adults drinking, The liberal elite’s policies of hugging criminals have demonstrably failed, it is time to return to punishments that hurt.
At least in Australia people can choose to now whether or not they wish to live next door to a convicted pedophile, safe in the knowledge that when he gets out of jail he won’t be hiding behind name suppression.
