Liddy Under 24hr Prison Cell Watch

PEDOPHILE Peter Liddy is the only prisoner in the state under 24-hour video surveillance.
Liddy's cell in Yatala's G Division is fitted with closed- circuit cameras to allow around-the-clock monitoring because of threats from other prisoners.
The disgraced former magistrate is also deemed to be a suicide risk.
Liddy was jailed in September, 2001, for 25 years and given an 18-year non- parole period.
He was found guilty of six counts of unlawful sexual intercourse, three counts of indecent assault and one of offering a bribe to a witness.
The police Child Exploitation Unit is still investigating whether it will lay additional child-sex charges against him.
This stems from a new law that removed the pre-1982 statute of limitations on the prosecution of sex crimes.
Detective Senior Sergeant Peter Rodney said the unit's investigation was ongoing.
"A file will be submitted to the Director of Public Prosecutions in due course," Sen- Set Rodney said.
Correctional Services Department spokesman Bill Power said only one person in the prison system was subjected to constant monitortng, but that person could not be named.
"Every effort is made to ensure those prisoners assessed as high risk to do no harm, either to themselves or to others, are provided with accommodation and security measures that the department thinks appropriate," he said.
"The department can and does provide 24-hour physical or electronic monitoring of prisoners who are regarded as an extreme risk following a rigorous assessment process." Liddy was defiant when charged in 1999 with sex offences and refused to listen to victim impact statements until legislation was passed to force him to appear.
But by his last court appearance this year - in relation to a defamation case between his former lawyers and a Channel 7 television program - he seemed confused and frail and appeared to fall asleep.
Soon after he was convicted, five of his victims - abused by Liddy when they were under his care as junior lifesavers - lodged claims for compensation through the District Court.
In February the court heard Liddy's fortune, once estimated at $1.3 million, had dwindled to just $58,000 because of legal fees in his attempts to have his conviction overturned by the Supreme Court and High Court.

No Funds for Liddy's Victims if New Sex Charges Proceed

NEW sex abuse charges will drain the remnants of pedophile Peter Liddy's personal fortune, leaving no compensation money for his victims, the District Court has heard.
Five men - abused by Liddy while under his care as junior lifesavers - fear they will miss out on long- sought financial compensation if the Director of Public Prosecutions elects to prosecute the disgraced former magistrate on new, 20-year-old allegations. The men - who cannot be identified - are concerned mounting a legal defence will wipe out the last of the former millionaire's assets, estimated to be just $58,000.
In September 2001, Liddy, 57, was jailed for 25 years, with an 18-year non- parole period, for six counts of unlawful sexual intercourse, three counts of indecent assault and one count of offering a bribe to a witness.
Soon after, five of his victims lodged claims for Criminal Injuries Compensation through the District Court.
A year later, the court heard Liddy's fortune had dwindled from from $1.3 million to $317,000 in cash and a property at Kadina.
Yesterday, District Court Master Mark Rice heard that just $58,000 of Liddy's money remained, following his unsuccessful attempts to have his conviction overturned by the Supreme and High courts.
But a lawyer for one of the victims said those funds were now likely to be unavailable to his client and others seeking compensation. He had been told by the police Child Exploitation Unit that, in light of new laws, there was "a prospect of further charges being brought against Liddy".
The lawyer said more allegations against Liddy had come to light since legislation was enacted to remove the pre-1982 statute of limitations on the prosecution of sex crimes. A report compiled by police detectives was to be received by the Director of Public Prosecutions this week, he said.
The lawyer said if Liddy had to defend himself against more charges, he would likely use the remaining $58,000 after which "the well will certainly be dry".
Master Rice also heard Liddy had retained new legal counsel, who asked for an adjournment. He adjourned the matter until April.
