where possible,occupation,offence-s committed,sentence received by the court, and last known
location-

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/better victim assistance and public sex offender
registries would be a good foundation to work from."

Despite the fact police consider Leonard to be dangerous and the 71-year-old refuses to accept sex with children is wrong, officers are not allowed to watch him because of privacy rules.

Victims Outraged As Pedophile Moves In A CONVICTED child molester has been allowed to move back into his old home, just metres from where his victims' family lives. The family, whose two sons were attacked by Geoffrey Leonard when they were just 13 and 16, are now living in fear and anger. But they have been told by police there is nothing they can do about it. The family said they were warned when Leonard was released from jail that he was unrepentant and angry towards them. "People don't know how bad he is. He gets through their defences. "People think he's just so obvious he can't be up to that, but he'll try," the father said. The police are powerless to monitor Leonard because he was convicted before the Sex Offenders Register was set up in 2001, and it is not retrospective. Despite the fact police consider Leonard to be dangerous and the 71-year-old refuses to accept sex with children is wrong, officers are not allowed to watch him because of privacy rules. As a result Leonard walks his dog past the family's home in a northern Sydney suburb every day as the family cowers inside. Leonard was convicted and jailed for three years in 1990 for sexually assaulting two boys. He lured them to his home with promises of money before abusing them. One of the victims has since moved to Western Australia to avoid him. Leonard has also written a book called (****), spelling out his desire for "boylove". Approached in the street about whether sex with children was acceptable, Leonard replied: "If there's willingness, exactly. I don't see any problem with that. "There's been a lot of research that says most kids are sexually active from the age of 12 but I'd prefer not to have an age at law. "I don't try to draw the line anywhere." Karen Flanagan, from child victim support group Childwise, said Leonard was trying to "normalise" dangerous behaviour and needed supervision. "He's a totally lost cause," she said. In January, Leonard appeared in court charged with loitering as a convicted child sex offender at St Andrew's Cathedral but the case was dismissed, as the court ruled Leonard was not at the church without "reasonable excuse".
