PENAMA XXXX

PENAMA XXXX

Given two convictions for rape and three for extortion committed against the same minor, aggravated by recording and using those recordings to blackmail the victim, the court concluded the offences were sufficiently serious that public interest and victim protection outweighed a non-custodial bond; consequently the appropriate disposition under the Child Act is placement at Sekolah Henry Gurney with parental visitation and post-release supervision.
