Although in Australia this is unbelievable. Thoughts and opinions please. Sounds like he hasn't actually abused but looked at porn.

 

A COURT has ordered two young girls to spend weekends with their sex offender father provided he puts a door on their bedroom they can lock.

 

Judge Robert Benjamin, in the Family Court's Hobart branch, ruled that the girls "need some protection from (their father), particularly at night".

 

However, the risk of sexual abuse was "diminished when they are awake and alert".

 

Judge Benjamin said that the father, who was convicted of downloading child pornography, must have an "adult friend" stay with him when the girls stayed overnight.

 

He added that until the youngest turned 14, the girls must "share the same room so they can have the mutual support of one another".

 

A Family Court counsellor said that the girls, aged ten and eight, "are at an age and maturity when awake, dressed and together it would be unlikely the father would act inappropriately toward them".

 

"However, at night, when they were asleep or partly asleep and not aware of each other's whereabouts, they would be less secure."

 

The case has outraged women's groups, who say it puts the girls at risk to satisfy the father's desire to see them.

 

The eldest girl has told counsellors that she was afraid to stay overnight with her father.

 

The father was convicted in 2007 of three child pornography offences, including filming images of child pornography on his computer. He also created links and shortcuts to child porn sites.

 

In sentencing the man for the offences, a judge in Tasmania said he was "far from convinced" he posed no risk to children and put his name on the sex offenders register for five years.

 

His wife left him, and has since been fighting to restrict his access to their two daughters.

 

The Family Court found the father had invited one of the girls into his bed, and had "demonstrated affection toward her in a way that was, in all the circumstances, inappropriate for a child of that age".

 

The eldest girl told counsellors she "did not want to spend time alone with her father".

did he abuse his daughters?... no

 

will he?.... well clares younger then my daughter, did that make my daughter 'at risk'? .... no.

 

most people have a natural revulsion to the prospect of sex with their family, even if they are pervs.

 

daughters need their daddy, and if he has not displayed any interest in his daughters then maybe their needs override the risk he poses.

 

truth is ..... we dont KNOW the facts, we have to trust those who DO.

So why does one say she doesn't want to spend time alone with him then? She doesn't like him for some reason!

Have you ever considered a poisonous mother to be the blame for that?

As far as I'm concerned that says it all... Day visitations ONLY and with Supervision, if he's got a problem with that, well, let's ask him why.... <_<

 

Put it this way, if Gary Glitter had two little girls, you'd be wanting them taken off him Rob, and dont say you wouldn't...

 

The Law cant mitigate for everything, and if one of the daughters has serious reservations about staying overnight with her father, then surely HER wishes should be taken into account.....

 

So typical that it's a male judge making decisions regarding two young girls really though innit...? I think a female judge should have been appointed to this case, how can some old, middle-aged male Judge possibly be expected to understand the psyches or legitimate fears of two young girls regarding their father...?

Then surely it would be both girls just parroting what their mother says, if that were the case....

Have you downloaded Child Pornography though...?

 

Sorry, if someone's THAT sick in the head, then all the profiling evidence out there will say that he WILL escalate in his fantasies and he WILL turn his attentions to whatever's available... Gary Glitter was able to go to Thailand to pursue his sickness, this guy's probably not got the resources available to him to go off to Thailand, so he'll target whoever he can...

For someone who apparently doesn't read The Sun or the NOTW you do seem to get a lot of trash journalism from there...

alot of fathers who have downloaded child porn havnt abused their own kids.... there IS a natural revulsion. how many dads are 'interested' in their teenage daughters friends?... many of us were fully aware of their 'assets', tony robinson for eg, (but dont act on it) but dont see their daughters in the same light...

ok...

 

cock up time

 

i clearly didnt read all the thread ....

 

yep, its wrong, the kids clearly are at risk ...
