Sterling Mervyn Free took the girl from the toy aisle of a store north of Brisbane on December 18, 2018, abused her in bushland about 30 minutes away and then returned her to the shopping centre.
The Queensland Court of Appeal on Tuesday agreed with Free's original eight-year jail sentence, but removed the recommendation for him to be eligible for parole in August 2021. Free was sentenced in October last year after pleaded guilty to taking a child under 12 years for an immoral purpose, deprivation of liberty and indecent treatment of a child under 12.The Queensland government had appealed the sentence, saying it was "manifestly inadequate" because of the parole eligibility date.
It called for Free to be declared a serious violent offender, requiring him to serve 80 per cent of the eight-year jail sentence.
Needs to be swinging from a rope
why not just hang him, why is the death penalty so bad. tax payers don't need to sponsor him.
Lock him up and through the key away.
Dirty grub rot in prison
About time we get a good news story
He shouldn't be allowed out EVER
Extradite him to Somalia
The family gets a unsupervised visit prior to release. Job done
Maggot needs to stay there forever!
Sick garbage like him doesn’t belong in society. Terrifying to think he’s a father himself.
He should get life, he ruined this innocent little girls life.
Jesus! Why the fark would we give him parole in the 1st place! What is wrong with the system You can't rehabilitate these mad, crazy sick people.. let him out and another child will become a victim He should do life behind bars! noexcuse auspol
I will never understand what they get out of hurting innocent children! 😞 Fucking scums 👊👊
Sterling not Free
There’s just so much of this awfulness around
Wake up. Pedophiles r cannot be rehabilitated! Just impossible. Cut our losses now. Donate them to science experiments and move on.
Dog
Abusing a 7yo should warrant life without parole.
This is what they deserve, Rockspiders aren't human beings, they are the lowest form of despicable human! 😡😡🤬🤬
If we are lucky the corona virus might kill him in jail 🤞
Kmarts still exist?
Why parole even an option to start with. FFS People like this don't change. Send him to North Korea, they need more foreigner. We really need to have an exchange program. They stop making booms. We give them criminals. NO GST
As far as the public see we are fed up with leniency to these monsters. We take comfort the other part of the sentence will be dealt inside prison.
What he is eligible for though is a 12-gauge to the head.
No kidding! Should lock him up without parole forever. Those perverts should have a life long sentence to think about what they have done!
