Cairns District Court Judge, Sarah Bradley has to be removed from her current position if there is to be truth in sentencing. Yesterday in court, she sentenced a 42 year old man to 9 years jail, he gets out on parole after serving only 3 years. His crime? He was raping his own 5 year old daughter until she was 13!! This is the same judge who failed to jail and record convictions with the men who raped a 10 year old girl. That little girl got 8 years of his abuse and a lifetime of memories that cannot be erased, hopefully her pain will be lessened with counselling and support. The mongrel dad gets 3 years..... is this truth in sentencing? I think not.
Surely something is amiss when a judge keeps handing down such lenient sentences while sitting back with a lush fat paycheck , she loses respect of the people. Judge Bradley can excuse her decisions as much as she likes, it changes nothing. Her words are meaningless when she can't deliver fair and proper justice for helpless victims. The maximum sentence this male could of received was between 8-11 years imprisonment. What a dam joke, he gets 3.

I won't normally comment on subjects like this as what these pervs do is mind numbingly sick. But raping his five year old daughter? Oh man that is horrible. I love children, and can't for the life of me understand that sick sick mentality. In fact I don't even want to.
I agree. These people should get life sentences - and that should mean life.
It is a great shame that this one particular Judge hands out the low sentences she does. The punishment does not equate the severity of the crime.
I agree with you. That poor child has a life time sentence from the abuse of her own father.
It is so sad what is done to innocent children around the world and if the punishment fit the crime, it might make some pervert think twice before harming a child. We would hope so, anyway...
Very sick indeed!
