- High Court
The court found the statutory criteria in s 107I and s 107IAA were satisfied: Parsons has a pervasive pattern of serious sexual offending and presents a high risk of future relevant sexual offending due to intense sexual drive, predilection, limited self-regulation, lack of remorse/empathy, recent breaches and gender‑identity related stressors; accordingly a 10 year ESO (maximum permitted) is necessary as the minimum period to protect the community, together with 12 months intensive monitoring and interim special conditions commencing immediately.
