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 AWARENESS = PREVENTION..
(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).
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..
+ 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."

Premier John Brumby Announces New Crackdown on Sex Offenders A PROMINENT community legal group has thrown its support behind the Brumby Government's new laws to monitor sex offenders more extensively. Premier John Brumby today announced new legislation that will mean sex offenders who commit crimes against adults - and are still considered a risk to the community at the end of their sentence - will be closely monitored through a new supervision order. People Against Lenient Sentencing president Steve Medcraft labelled the new legislation ``a step in the right direction" but said it should have been introduced earlier. "It's a long time overdue. It's been chased up for a while and it's still to be written and implemented, but it is good news," Mr Medcraft said. The outspoken victims of crime advocate also nominated the first candidate for the new laws as the notorious rapist Mark Anthony Jewell. "He's a guy who not long after the last time (he was released) it only took him three months I think before he raped that young girl," Mr Medcraft said. "He has had a habit of repeating the offences when he's got out so he's the perfect candidate for this type of operation." Mark Anthony Jewell, 43, was sentenced to a minimum five years imprisonment in 2003 after he was convicted of sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl in front of an eight-year-old boy. Known as the Armadale rapist, Jewell has attacked 11 girls and women during a 20-year criminal history. He is due for release on June 6. New laws, effective from July 1, will aim to match existing laws aimed at offenders who have assaulted children. Mr Brumby said offenders against adults would face a range of new measures, including tougher controls on reporting to authorities, when planning to move house and wanting to move interstate. But shadow attorney-general Robert Clark slammed the new legislation as not broad enough and too late. "We believe laws to protect the community against serious offenders shouldn't just apply to sex offenders," he said. "They should apply to all serious offenders who are a serious risk to the community including murderers and arsonists. "These laws should have been in place years ago and they don't go far enough.

Armadale Rapist To Stay In Jail THE notorious sex offender known as the Armadale rapist will serve his full jail term. The Adult Parole Board ruled yesterday that Mark Anthony Jewell was too close to the expiry of his maximum term to be released. He will serve his full sentence, which ends on June 6. Jewell, 43, may now be considered for an extended supervision order, under which he would be closely monitored after release. In 2003 Jewell was sentenced to a minimum five years' jail for sexually abusing a 12-year-old girl in front of an eight-year-old. He has attacked 11 females during a 20-year criminal history and has been convicted for sexually motivated burglaries Herald Sun (13-3-2008) |

'Armadale Rapist' Jailed Again Notorious sex offender Mark Anthony Jewell, once dubbed the "Armadale rapist", was yesterday sentenced in the County Court to six years in jail after sexually assaulting a girl only six months after being released from prison. Jewell, 39, of Kew, had earlier pleaded guilty to two counts of committing an indecent act on a child under 16 and one count of committing an indecent act in the presence of a child under 16. Jewell had also pleaded guilty to a series of burglaries and thefts of clothing, bags and sports equipment from Melbourne Girls' Grammar, in South Yarra, and Firbank, in Brighton. The court heard that when Jewell was arrested at his boarding house in Kew, he was wearing a pair of Firbank girls' bathers under his pyjamas. Photographs that Jewell had had developed from a camera in one of the schoolbags were also found at his home, as well as folders and diaries. Judge Carolyn Douglas found that Jewell had developed the photographs in an attempt to identify the owners of the bags. "If you wanted photographs of young girls there were clearly cheaper and easier ways of doing that," the judge told Jewell. "Your intent was to track down the schoolgirls with the intention of committing sexual offences." In a separate incident, Jewell had befriended a woman to get access to her eight-year-old daughter or her daughter's friends, the court heard. Judge Douglas said that Jewell had found where the woman lived and repeatedly turned up at her flat. "You intended to insinuate yourself into her family and assault her children or other children," Judge Douglas said. On June 7, 2002, Jewell assaulted the 12-year-old friend in the presence of the woman's daughter. Judge Douglas accepted that Jewell's intellect was limited and that he had had a tragic childhood. In a report tendered to the court, forensic psychiatrist Dr Don Senadipathy described Jewell as a sexual deviant. Jewell was dubbed the "Armadale rapist" and jailed for 16 years in March 1990, after pleading guilty to a series of violent sexual attacks during the 1980s. After his release he was arrested and jailed for 18 months for stalking his neighbour and sending offensive letters to three teenage girls. AAP (1-5-2003) Olivia Hill-Douglas |

State may appeal against Armadale rapist's jail term The Director of Public Prosecutions is considering appealing against the five-year minimum sentence handed down this week to serial sex offender Mark Anthony Jewell. Jewell, 39, who was sentenced as a serious sexual offender over indecency offences against two young girls, had previously been jailed for 16 years for raping 10 females aged between nine and 41 in Melbourne's east between 1983 and 1989. Attorney-General Rob Hulls confirmed yesterday that his office had contacted the DPP about the matter. Shadow attorney-general Andrew McIntosh said that sentencing rules should be changed to enable people classed as serious sexual offenders to be considered for an indefinite sentence. Mr McIntosh said Jewell's was an unusual case, of a recidivist sex offender who resisted treatment and was expected to reoffend if released. A spokesman for the office of the Director of Public Prosecutions said the office was considering whether an appeal was appropriate. Jewell, formerly of Kew, pleaded guilty to two counts of committing an indecent act on a child under 16 and one of committing an indecent act in the presence of a child under 16. A psychiatric report demanded by County Court Judge Carolyn Douglas said Jewell, who was known as the "Armadale rapist", was resistant to reform and certain to reoffend. The report, by Don Senadipathy, said that Jewell was cunning and manipulative, and that Jewell's sexual deviancy included fetishism, voyeurism, pedophilia and sexual sadism. "If released he would continue to add more innocent women and children to his list of victims," Dr Senadipathy said. In court, Judge Douglas said that she was sentencing Jewell as a serious sex offender and would pass a disproportionately large sentence. "I am satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that you are so likely to commit further sexual offences that you constitute a danger to the community, and therefore I will sentence you to a sentence longer than that which would be justified by the principles of proportionality," Judge Douglas told Jewell. She added however, that his latest offences were less serious than the earlier rapes. But Crime Victims Support Network president Noel McNamara said that the sentence given to Jewell was "manifestly inadequate" and he would write to the DPP to express his disapproval. People Against Lenient Sentencing president Steve Medcraft asked: "Can the judge give us a guarantee that when he (Jewell) gets out he won't take six months to sexually molest another female?" Jewell is the second man to be known as the Armadale Rapist. The other, Stephen Walter Brown, was in March 1993 convicted of 11 counts of aggravated rape and sentenced to a minimum 12 years' jail. He is eligible for parole about the middle of next year. AAP (2-5-2003) Ian Munro/ Olivia Hill-Douglas/ Jamie Berry |
