LucyPriceAus Good.

Former prison guard and soldier? The only thing missing is serving police officer.

I cannot for the life of me understand how any lawyer would defend this POS. He wasn’t in a consensual relationship with the women! He controlled the women through physical and mental means, used them as prostitutes and deprived them of their liberty.

Next bloke to sue 4Corners I reckon. The obsession with 'smashing the patriarchy' at 4Corners is costing US a lot of money 😡

Next bloke to sue 4Corners I reckon. Maybe they should just start a class action?

Member of the liberal party?

One very sick puppy..... needs to be locked up for a very long time.

Now HE is in a cage and will be raped. Just desserts...

not sure what him being a former prison guard/soldier has to do with him using bdsm as an excuse to abuse and assault extremely young women...?

This guy is pure evil. Lock him up forever pls.

Lady_Ambrosia Let him rot!

Keep him there for along time and treat him as a slave

lmao

Happy to hear that bail was denied.

Re his five 'partners', has he given any of them his pin number? No, right? Yet apparently he pimped them some of the time so he is holding their rightful earnings. Hope court/police have frozen his bank a/c's etc. Of course they would be in court as their housing etc at stake.

Good.

Good. If he is found guilty, he should get life if possible.

Never let this scum out and while he there let the criminals know he was a former prison guard.

the guys inside will know how to deal with him, they will take his noodle cups and play so many mind games he has to ask to locked up with the pedophile priests

Former teacher sentenced to three years' jail after historic abuse of 13-year-old girlThe court heard Christopher Stain invited his victim to a Bible study class before he began sexually abusing the 13-year-old girl on a regular basis. 3 years? It always starts with bible study. Beware the religious types, they just want to their hands into your children’s pants. 14 months in jail for raping a 13 yo child. Looks like it's not only male judges who are out of touch with community standards or reasonable expectations of justice.

It’ll be easy! an attack on taiwan will start a war as taiwan makes most of the world's computer chips, and resetting production elsewhere will take years.
