Multiple Rapist Assaulted Seven-year-old Girl in Caravan Park

A SEX offender who assaulted a seven-year-old girl in a caravan park should be jailed for at least 20 years, a court has been told.
Jeffrey Peter Bavage, 47, has been found guilty of sexual assaults on five girls in four trials since September.
One of the victims, who was assaulted from the age of seven to 11, told the County Court today: "He took away my virginity at an age when I should have been playing with barbie dolls."
Bavage has 95 prior convictions from 28 court appearances between 1980 and 2006, including a raft of sex offences.
In the recent trials he has been found guilty of 14 offences.
But Bavage still denies the offences.
He appeared in the County Court today for a pre-sentence hearing.
Prosecutor Brendan Kissane told the court that the offence against a seven-year-old girl at a Torquay caravan park in 2007 was gratuitous and hideous.
The little girl was asleep when Bavage entered the caravan annex. She awoke to find Bavage committing an indecent act with her.
Bavage was also found guilty of raping a 17-year-old girl, raping a 13-year-old girl and the ongoing sexual assault of two girls over almost six years.
Mr Kissane said Bavage should be jailed for 23 to 26 years, with a non-parole period of 20 to 23 years.
But Bavage's barrister Nick Papas said such a sentence would be crushing.
He suggested a maximum of 17 to 21 years, with a parole period of five years.
The court heard Bavage has a brain injury which contributes to impulsive tendancies.
Bavage was found guilty of six counts of indecent assault on a girl under 16, two counts of rape and one each of carnal knowledge of a girl under 10, sexual penetration of a child, attempted indecent assault, false imprisonment, aggravated burglary and indecent act with a child under 16.
Judge Felicity Hampel will sentence Bavage on May 13

Sex Predator Bavage Guilty

SEX predator Jeffrey Peter Bavage has been found guilty of crimes dating back decades, including indecent acts against a girl at Torquay Caravan Park in 2007.
After a suppression order was lifted yesterday, the Geelong Advertiser can now reveal Bavage committed numerous sex offences as far back as 1977.
County Court judge Felicity Hampel lifted the order on the Lara man's identity after a jury returned a guilty verdict on the final of four back-to-back trials involving Bavage in Melbourne County Court.
One of the trials related to charges which stemmed from Bavage entering an annexe at Torquay Caravan Park on January 2, 2007, where a seven-year-old girl was sleeping.
Bavage was later arrested and charged with committing indecent acts in the presence of a child under 16 and aggravated burglary.
The Geelong Advertiser can now report Bavage was found guilty on both counts.
During the second trial Bavage was found guilty in relation to charges of sexual assault committed in the Lara area between 1977 and 1983.
Those charges included carnal knowledge of a girl under 10, sexual penetration of a girl under 16 and some other sexual offences.
In the third trial Bavage was found guilty of raping a 17-year-old girl at Pykes Creek in 2001.
The fourth and final trial concluded yesterday with a jury returning a guilty verdict over the rape of a 13-year-old girl at Sandringham in 1993.
Throughout the trials, publication of Bavage's details was suppressed to avoid influencing potential jurors.
Bavage, 47, and the father of three girls, had pleaded not guilty to all charges.
A plea hearing in relation to all matters will be heard in Melbourne County Court before Judge Hampel on April 8.

New Lead In Torquay Sex Attack

Identikit image of a man police want to speak with over the sex attack.
POLICE have released the first image of a man they believe may be involved in the sexual assault of a seven-year-old girl in Torquay.
Sexual Crimes Squad detectives hope publication of the identikit image will lead to a man seen near the victim's caravan just before the girl was assaulted as she slept in her family's annex on January 2.
Investigators believe the man may be able to help with their inquiries, as a media campaign and police caravan at the park yielded a witness who saw the man hanging around the victim's caravan about an hour before she was attacked.
Sexual Crimes Squad Detective Sergeant Jason Walsh said police did not know if the man of interest was a local or not.
"We are hopeful this might trigger someone else's memory," Det-Sgt Walsh said.
"Someone else who might have information might recognise it as being someone they had seen in the area."
He said detectives had already spoken to known sex offenders living in the area but did not have any ``strong leads at the moment".
"We tend to think the person who committed the crime would have been staying in the caravan park but having said that, it's also a thoroughfare to the beach," Det-Sgt Walsh said.
"Every time we put something in the media we get a response from the general public _ there's still plenty of interest in it."
The man police wish to speak to is between 16 to 22-years-of-age with short blond hair.
Anyone with information can call Crimestoppers.

Police Narrow List Of Assault Suspects

CRIME CARAVAN: Ballarat's Travis Fullertan and Joel Vangils talk to Detective Senior Constable Nick Densley at the police caravan in Torquay yesterday.
POLICE believe the man who sexually assaulted a young girl at a Torquay caravan park last week had been camping at the foreshore.
Detective Sergeant Jason Walsh of the sexual crimes squad said police had already spoken to "quite a few" suspects and were yet to speak to a number more about the assault which happened at the Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park 5.40am last Tuesday.
"We tend to think it was a person staying in the park just due to where it happened and the time," Det-Sgt Walsh said.
He said a number of suspects had been ruled out as they were able to provide alibis.
The man preyed on the seven-year-old girl while she slept inside the annex of her family's caravan. Her two brothers were also asleep inside the annex during the attack, while her parents were sleeping in the caravan.
She woke to find the man leaning against her bed. He fled after the girl screamed for her mother, waking one of her brothers.
Police manned an information caravan outside the park yesterday and Det-Sgt Walsh said more than 20 people had come to speak to them by 10am.
He said police had the records of everybody who had been staying at the park and had spoken to 5000 of them.
Det-Sgt Walsh said the park's inhabitants included many interstate and overseas visitors.
"We've had a great response from the public and have received lots of information," Det-Sgt Walsh said.
He said it was too soon to speculate what charges the offender could face.
Det-Sgt Walsh said the girl and her family were still at the park, having decided to continue with their holiday despite the traumatic experience.
He said while the attack had been "the talk of the park" and parents were aware of it, it hadn't spoilt families' holidays.
Ballarat's Josh Carey, 16, said the attack had been a shock for his family.
"We've had a lot of little kids staying with us so everyone has become really cautious after finding out about it," he said.
The attacker has been described as Caucasian and aged between 16 and 22 years. He is believed to have blond, spiky hair and was wearing a pair of jeans at the time of the attack.

Fresh Leads In Sex Attack Case

POLICE are closing in on the predator who sexually assaulted a seven-year-old girl at a Torquay caravan park on Tuesday.
Detective Sergeant Jason Walsh of the Sex Crimes Squad yesterday said police were investigating several leads and had interviewed a man who possibly saw the attacker on the night of the attack.
He said police and Crime Stoppers had received thousands of phone calls about the sex attack after reports in the media this week.
The seven-year-old girl was sexually assaulted while she slept inside the annex of her family's caravan with her two brothers aged 10 and 12. Her parents were asleep in an adjoining caravan.
Police said the girl woke to find the man leaning against her bed between 5am and 5.30am on Tuesday. The attacker fled after the girl screamed for her mother, waking one of her brothers.
Det-Sgt Walsh said police had visited the 400 sites in the caravan park and interviewed the 5000 campers staying there.
"We have also interviewed a man aged in his 20s who was staying at the caravan park and he has got some information and is assisting us with our enquires," he said.
"We are also waiting on DNA results from the lab."
Det-Sgt Walsh spoke with the little girl and her family yesterday and said they intended to continue their holiday in the caravan park.
"I spoke to the girl and she is fighting on. They're a really good family and the statement they released really came from the heart," he said.
The girl's parents pleaded for the public's help in a statement released on Wednesday.
"Our daughter is raised in a loving, close-knit, happy family. We are sickened and disgusted by the actions of the person responsible for this," they said in the statement.
The attacker has been described as Caucasian and aged between 16 and 22 years. He is believed to have blond, spiky hair and was wearing a pair of jeans at the time of the attack.
Anyone with information is asked to phone Torquay CIU on 5261 4514 or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Girl, 7, Sexually Assaulted In Caravan Park

A SEVEN-YEAR-OLD girl was sexually assaulted yesterday morning while she slept inside her family's annex in a Torquay caravan park.
Police said the attack happened between 5am and 5.30am when a man entered the annex where the girl was sleeping.
Detective Sergeant Mick Baker from Torquay CIU said the girl's two brothers, aged 10 and 12, were also asleep inside the annex while their parents slept inside the caravan.
The attack happened inside the Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park.
"He (the attacker) has remained inside the annex and things have happened while the two boys (her brothers) remained asleep," Det-Sgt Baker said.
"When the girl called out to her mum, the man has decamped because one of her brothers woke up."
Det-Sgt Baker said the girl, from Melbourne, was taken to Geelong Hospital yesterday for a full medical examination and was released last night.
"We are still investigating what has happened to the girl but she has certainly been a victim of sexual assault," he said.
Det-Sgt Baker said there was a possibility the girl, who was a regular visitor to the Surf Coast, may have seen the man in the past couple of days.
He said police were unsure if the man had known where the girl was staying or if it was a random attack.
"It's possible the person could be staying in the caravan park or had visited someone in the last few days," Det-Sgt Baker said.
"We are unsure if the man knew where the girl lived or if he had tip-toed into four or five tents beforehand."
Police yesterday said the man was believed to be Caucasian and aged between 16 and 22 years. He is thought to have blond spiky hair and was wearing a pair of jeans.
The Sexual Crimes Squad was called in to assist with the investigation while police yesterday door-knocked campers staying at the Bell St caravan park.
The sex attack has shocked residents of the Torquay Foreshore Caravan Park who yesterday described the assault as "horrible" and "scary".
A father of three young daughters said the attack had destroyed the days of going on holidays and relaxing.
He said since news of the attack had filtered through the park, his children had been under constant supervision.
"This is a community. Everybody looks out for each other's kids but now you can't do anything," he said. Anyone with information about the attack is asked to call Torquay CIU or Crime Stoppers.
