A SELF-STYLED warlock and sex predator who turned two teenage girls into sex slaves has won the right to live in the community. Despite being eligible for parole in June, Robin Angas Fletcher, 49, had been living in a unit within the walls of Victoria's Ararat prison under an extended supervision order. Fletcher challenged the conditions of the order, imposed by the Adult Parole Board under the Serious Sex Offenders Monitoring Act, in the Victorian Supreme Court. Judge Bill Gillard yesterday ruled the board acted unlawfully by forcing Fletcher to stay within prison walls after he had completed his jail term. Justice Gillard said the terms of the act required Fletcher to live in the community. After an afternoon of crisis talks, the Adult Parole Board last night announced Fletcher would be moved to a house next door to the prison. Police Minister Tim Holding insisted "strict monitoring of this notorious pedophile would continue" and the Government was considering a challenge to Justice Gillard's ruling. Fletcher will be subject to a range of conditions including an electronic monitoring device and a curfew, as well as bans on contact with children and going near schools and playgrounds. He will only be able to leave the house escorted by a Corrections Victoria officer. Fletcher made sex slaves of two 15-year-old girls by convincing them they were taking part in pagan rituals. He used hypnotism to entice the girls into prostitution, sadomasochism and black magic. He was jailed in 1998 for 10 years after pleading guilty to wilfully committing an indecent act with a child under the age of 16, one count of child prostitution and one count of attempting to pervert the course of justice. He became eligible for parole last year. Pedophile Brian Keith Jones - dubbed Mr Baldy because he shaved his victims' heads - is also confined inside Ararat prison on a supervision order. Two other pedophiles are living on extended supervision orders behind the Ararat prison walls but the Government has no plans to move them. Opposition police spokesman Kim Wells said pedophiles who were repeat offenders needed to be treated in a way that protected the community. "In cases like Robin Fletcher, we say they should be housed within the walls of a prison and can only be allowed back into the community under strict supervision," he said. www.theaustralian.news.com.au (28-9-2006) Ewin Hannan |
