Serial Rapist Wins Appeal SADISTIC serial rapist Jason Charles Buckley, who terrorised the communities of Toowoomba and Dalby before his arrest in April 2000, could be released back into the community within 10 years. Queensland’s Court of Appeal yesterday set aside the “indefinite sentence” imposed on Buckley in September 2003. Under an indefinite sentence, Buckley, now 37, would never be released from jail until a board of experts — including a panel of psychiatrists and a judge — was satisfied he was no longer a threat to the community. With the removal of indefinite sentence, the former Dalby man is now subject to the nominal 22- year jail term imposed by District Court Judge Warren Howell at sentence. Buckley was declared a “serious and violent offender”, meaning he must serve 80% of the sentence, but having already served almost eight years jail since his arrest, he could walk free in less than 10 years. Before his arrest in April 2000, residents of Dalby and Toowoomba had lived in fear knowing a serial rapist was in their midst after the brutal attacks on a 20-yearold in Dalby, a 67-year-old in her Toowoomba home, and a 15-yearold girl in Toowoomba’s Queens Park — the most brutal attack of the three. At sentence, Judge Howell said he doubted defence claims Buckley was remorseful, pointing to reports he had boasted about the attacks during subsequent interviews. Psychiatric reports put before Judge Howell pointed to Buckley delving into voyeurism as a teenager, a “peeping tom” at age 15. He descended further into a world of perversion which included bestiality — having sex with animals — and Judge Howell noted Buckley had likened raping the women to his experiences with animals which included horses, sheep and goats. The Mental Health Tribunal rejected Buckley’s plea of insanity. In imposing the indefinite sentence, Judge Howell had wondered what might have happened had Buckley not been caught when he was. “One cannot speculate on whether, if there were further incidents, that the life of a (woman) might be at risk,” the judge said at the time. However, in his judgment yesterday, Justice John Muir pointed to provisions under legislation such as the Dangerous Prisoners (Sexual Offenders) Act as having safeguards in place for the protection of the community. “Having regard to these considerations and to the Attorney- General’s ability, should it be thought that the applicant (Buckley) represents a ‘serious danger to the community’, to seek either a continuing detention order or a supervision order before the applicant’s release into the community, I do not consider ‘the extraordinary step of imposing an indefinite sentence’ to be justified,” Justice Muir said. In a unanimous decision, Justices Fraser and Mullins agreed. Victims brutally violated BEFORE his arrest in April 2000, psychopath Jason Charles Buckley had terrorised Darling Downs communities and left three women brutally violated. When DNA examinations alerted police the three women were victims of the same man, the hunt for a serial rapist began and a definite unease spread throughout the region — particularly in Toowoomba and Dalby. His first victim was a 20-year-old woman walking alone on a Dalby street at 4am, March 6, 1999. Buckley grabbed her from behind, forced her to the ground before wrapping the strap of her shoulder bag around her neck, choking her, then forcing her to a secluded part of Pratten Park where he repeatedly raped her. He threatened to kill the woman if she moved while he left the scene. His second victim was a 67-year-old woman with mental health issues who was asleep in bed when Buckley broke into her east Toowoomba home about 5am, October 14, 1999. After attacking the woman in her bedroom, Buckley dragged her outside into the yard and raped her in pouring rain. Buckley’s third victim was a 15-year-old schoolgirl walking home from a party in Toowoomba about 1am, January 20, 2000. As she walked past the Margaret/Hume streets intersection, Buckley approached from behind and chased the girl, tackling her — snapping the girl’s upper leg bone. Despite her pleas and cries of pain, Buckley dragged the girl into a Queens Park drainway and repeatedly raped her, slapping the girl’s face and head when he thought she had looked at his face at one point. In all, Buckley pleaded guilty to five counts of rape, and one each of burglary with violence, indecent assault and causing grievous bodily harm. The District Court awarded each of the three women the maximum available $75,000 criminal compensation. Toowoomba solicitor Nick Smith, of Bernays Lawyers, represented all three victims in their compensation applications. Mr Smith told The Chronicle yesterday the removal of Buckley’s indefinite sentence would in no way impact on the victims’ criminal compensation payouts. The Chronicle (8-3-2008) Peter Hardwick |
