THE MAKO/Files Online are a FREE PUBLIC
SERVICE
|
In Australia the general Public (YOU) are NOT provided with access to Sex Offender
Registries by the Federal or State government/s..
Most of you agree would with us that jail is the best place for convicted
sex offenders..the FACT is that many live in
unsuspecting communities including near schools/playgrounds etc..
Its no secret that sex offenders especially paedophiles are likely to re/offend
so Public AWARENESS is very IMPORTANT to PREVENTION ??
The
'MAKO/Files' online are Australia's 1st " FREE PUBLIC" Paedophile/Sex offender registry,and currently list/ name
hundreds of offenders nationwide, (NOT a complete Australian list of offenders) with more offenders being added on a regular basis.. 98+% of offenders listed in the
MAKO/Files Online and MAKO/Files
Online- (Within The Church) have been convicted by a court of law.
(The MAKO/Files Online also lists Child Killers and individuals
convicted of other forms of child abuse/NOT only child sexual abuse)
A typical Online
MAKO/File (offenders file) may include the
offenders name,age (2008), photo
where possible, occupation, offence-s committed, sentence received by the court, and last known
location-
(last known location is taken from time of offenders
offence/ sentence, unless otherwise stated).
AWARENESS = PREVENTION..
Not only can the MAKO/Files online be used by the Australian PUBLIC to better
protect themselves and their CHILDREN/ families from proven sex offenders,
they have many other benefits, including..
DETERRING
some offenders = yet another form of prevention..
+ being a useful resource
for Australian and overseas Companies-businesses-organisations
to assist with screening potential employees/volunteers etc..
+ a useful resource for media
outlets/journalists/Investigators/researchers etc..
+ a useful method of
constantly lobbying Australian Government/s and politicians to do more to
protect the PUBLIC from sexual predators.
"Tougher sentencing for offenders,greater government
funding for prevention/ victim assistance and public sex offender
registries would be a good foundation to work from."

DNA Nets a Towns Worst Fears
SIXTEEN months after the
crime that stunned the nation,
Wee Waa resident Stephen James
Boney appeared in court yesterday
charged with bashing and raping a 91yr old woman.
Just 24 hours earlier - following the
first mass DNA screening in the
country - the farm laborer, 44, surrendered
to police over the attack on
Rita Knight.
Yesterday, while Wee Waa locals
had their worst fear realised - that
one of their own had been charged,
140km away at Moree, the court house benches were
largely bare of
public onlookers.
Dressed in faded pinstripe pants,
his hair grey at the temples and
balding on top, Boney entered the
court with an orange striped towel
draped over his head.
Five minutes later Kamileroi Aboriginal
legal aid solicitor Terrence
Duff told Magistrate Mal McPherson
his client would not be pleading yet
to the three charges of aggravated
sexual assault, inflicting actual
bodily harm, aggravated break and
entry and break and enter to commit
a felony.
Police bail had been denied on
Monday night because of the violent
nature of the offence and for community
interest. Mr Duff said no
further application would be made
yesterday.
Police Prosecutor Brian Willett
said the preparation of the brief
would take four weeks.
He told the court DNA samples
had been taken from Boney after his
arrest.
"Further samples were taken from
the defendant last night," he said.
Mr McPherson formally refused
bail and adjourned the matter until
May 15 for the next phase in the case.
In Wee Waa, Aboriginal Land
Council chairman Doug Orcher said
the whole community was in shock
over Boney's arrest."We want the
community to remain as before and
not discriminate against the local
Aboriginal people," he said.
Mr Orcher said Boney, who played
with local football team The Panthers,
was a married man with children.
Boney lives within a kilometre of
where Miss Knight had lived alone
in her childhood home, in which she
was attacked on New Year's Day,
1999.
Miss Knight, now 93, moved into
the local Weeronga Aged Care hostel
after the incident.
It is believed Boney was out of
town for the first phase of the DNA
screening and police yesterday
would not confirm whether he had
been a testing volunteer.
While the mass screening of more
than 450 men in the 2000 population
town was attacked on civil liberties
grounds and attracted strong opposition
from some locals, police operations
commander Paul Mayger said
samples would be destroyed after
being eliminated from the investigation.

Jail For Rapist Caught By DNA
STEPHEN James
Boney - a 44-year-old
laborer, husband, and
father of four - was
working on his car
when he was approached by a young
constable in the north-
western NSW town of
Wee Waa in April.
Explaining that police
were carrying out voluntary
DNA testing on all
young men of Wee Waa
to try and track down
the rapist of a 91yr
old woman, the constable asked Boney if he
would submit his DNA sample.
Boney immediately
said "no". But a few moments later, in a reversal
even he has found hard
to explain, Boney
changed his mind and
followed the police-'
man's instructions on
how to scrape the inside
of his mouth and submit
his DNA sample.
Thanking him, the
policeman walked off
down the road to the
next volunteer.
There was nothing unusual about the process.
430 other men had
already consented to
giving their sample that
week.
But the difference was
that Boney knew that
his sample was the one
police had been looking
for - the one they had
been hoping to track
down after more than
two years of investigation into the
aggravated rape that had left
the frail victim in hospital.
Yesterday, Boney
stood in the dock at
Moree District Court as
he listened to Judge
Robert Bellear sentence
him to 12 years in
prison, with a minimum
8yr period.
Justice Bellear described the crime as a
"depraved and despicable act".
Justice Bellear, Australia's only Aboriginal
judge, said he took into
consideration Boney's
poverty-stricken childhood, his abuse at the
hands of family friends,
and the taking away of
his brother and sister by
welfare authorities.
He also reduced the
sentence because of
Boney's guilty plea - a
plea which meant the
victim did not have to
give evidence in court.
Shortly after being approached by police,
Boney had told his
defacto wife and daughter of his crime and then
gone to police to make
a confession.
Boney was also sentenced to four years for
breaking and entering
with intent to steal, with
the sentence to be
served concurrently.
A victim impact statement revealed,
the
woman had since sold
the house in which the
rape had occurred - her
home since birth. She
had lost consciousness
shortly after the assault
began and had thought
she was going to die
when a pillow was
pushed over her head.
Outside the court, Detective Senior Sergeant
Greig Stier said the
sentencing of Boney
was a a vindication of
police tactics in using
the DNA testing. "The
mass DNA testing was a
good investigative tool
in this case...... it was a
tool that flushed Mr
Boney out," he said.
