But Mr Shine(Queensland AG) admitted the appeal would be hampered by the fact the prosecutor in the case, Steve Carter, did not recommend jail.
has been diagnosed as "mildly intellectually impaired"
Mr Shine(QUEENSLAND Attorney-General Kerry Shine) has also ordered a review into sentences in all sexual assault cases in far north Queensland over the past two years, to ensure they were meeting community expectations.this is rare to review all cases...
--USING INDIGENOUS JUSTICE INITIATIVES IN SENTENCING (PAPER GIVEN AT THE JUDGES CONFERENCE, PERTH 20-24 JANUARY 2007),Judge Sarah Bradley District Court Cairns Qld January 2007
Conclusion
37. Sentencing Indigenous offenders is never easy. There are times when the offending behaviour clearly warrants the imposition of severe and significant penalties. There are also times when a judge who has knowledge of a community, has information about the community view of the offending, the background to it and the full particulars of those involved may decide that an alternative penalty is appropriate. Determining which category of case is before you can be problematic and can often only be done with input from the Indigenous community itself.
Why did QueenslandÂ’s Child Safety Depart-ment not report the sexual assault to police despite the girl contracting a sexually transmitted disease from the encounter? Why was it considered better that the girl be removed from foster care with a white family in Cairns and returned to Aurukun where she had been sexually assaulted from the age of six?---
The picture emerging from the gang rape is of a bureaucratic culture that accepts a lesser standard of rights and responsibilities for indigenous people on Cape York. The Australianhas little doubt that many people who have worked at QueenslandÂ’s Attorney-General or Health Departments think it is fairly common for indigenous girls of that age on remote communities to have that sort of sexual history. But whenever the system turns a blind eye, it sends a message that this behaviour is normal and condemns future gen-erations of girls to a similar fate.

What country was it?
the child had first contracted syphilis in April 2002 when she was aged seven and was raped by five juveniles in Aurukun, receiving severe genital injuries.I look like anti--Australia.Pl read their own newspaper then make your comments here,mates
When sentencing the nine juveniles for the gang rape carried out last year, Judge Bradley said: "All of you have pleaded guilty to having sex with a 10-year-old girl and (one of the juveniles) has pleaded guilty to having sex with another young girl as well.
"All of you have to understand that you cannot have sex with a girl under 16.
"If you do, you are breaking the law, and if you are found out, then you will be brought to court and could end up in jail.
"I accept that the girl involved, with respect to all of these matters, was not forced, and that she probably agreed to have sex with all of you."

1.Yes.i cant rule out possibility of covering up.Originally posted by Demonight:lionnoisy..let me ask you this...if this had happened in Singapore and lets say that the girl was indian and the perpetrators were rich Chinese boys...would things be any different? Would a case even be filed if these boys turned out to be 'white horses'? You have no idea how many things are covered up by the Singapore Police Force and never make it to the news so don't talk like you're some arbiter of the 'great' Singapore justice system.
Australia is Singapore's model? What a load of BS. Switzerland is supposed to be Singapore's model (or did you forget the famous "Swiss standard of living"?) - only Singapore can't make chocolate or watches for nuts.Originally posted by lionnoisy:Our model..
...While Ms Clare has declined to comment on the gang-rape case, her office publicly released transcripts of the court proceedings.
They revealed that during the case, DPP legal officer Steve Carter described the incident - in which the girl contracted a sexually transmitted disease - as "consensual sex".
"To the extent I can't say it was consensual in the legal sense, but in the other - in the general sense, the non-legal sense, yes, it was," Mr Carter told the court.
"So, I then ask on that basis not to seek any periods of detention, not to seek any periods of custody, immediate custody."
Mr Carter said the girl and the boys and men had prearranged the sex and they had not forced themselves on the girl or threatened her.
"My submission in relation to this particular offence is the same that I make in relation to children of that age ... they're very naughty for doing what they're doing but it's really - in this case, it was a form of childish experimentation, rather than one child being prevailed upon by another," he said.
"Although she was very young, she knew what was going on and she had agreed to meet the children at this particular place and it was all by arrangement.
"I'd ask your Honour to take that into account."
Mr Carter also told the court such incidents were not out of character in small, remote communities.....
..The total period of both sentences is to commence today. Of the total period, the sentence of 24 months, the sentence will be suspended after you have served one month commencing today.--September 28, 2005,THE SUPREME COURT OF THE NORTHERN TERRITORY
...The report's authors said they had found incidents of child sex abuse in each of the 45 communities they visited as part of their inquiry.
One alarming finding was that young children were being exposed to pornography and imitating the sexual behaviour among themselves, they said.
The 316-report report found that children were being abused by both indigenous and non-indigenous adults.
Children as young as five were found to have contracted sexually-transmitted diseases....
....MR CARTER(DPP legal officer Steve Carter): Yes, they are brief. When *name withheld* was 13, he and a group of others took part in consensual sex - well, it was - it was not forced sex, upon the complainant child aged between 11 and 12 during the time period stated in the indictment. She attended the Aurukun Health Clinic with her mother complaining of a suspected boil on her bottom and an examination was noted and lesions were found around her private parts.2.Rape is ''naughty'' and ''childish experimentation''!!
As a result of that, further inquires were made. It was - she also had a sexually transmitted infection, in common with test results which were later obtained from - in relation to *name withheld*. He admitted quite readily what had happened and stated that he and other children had engaged in this consensual sex and he was charged.
HER HONOUR: Were any of the others charged?
MR CURTIN: I'm not sure.
MR CARTER: No, I'm not either. It was something that - I'll find out for your Honour. No, they weren't. There were some cautions issued but that's all, your Honour. They were all young children.
HER HONOUR: Okay.
MR CARTER: And he was at the stage, only 13 as well. The reason a caution wasn't issued for *name withheld* is obviously because he's been - had contact with the Justice system prior to this
HER HONOUR: Yes.
MR CARTER: and it wasn't the appropriate vehicle. As I stated, she - it is possible that she contacted the sexually transmitted disease from this encounter. She(the victim) had two types of sexually transmitted disease, one of which was from similar - the same as that which was carried by *name withheld* but I wouldn't put too much weight on that, your Honour, in the circumstances, because she wasn't - he wasn't the only one she had sex with that day. It could've come from anyone that day. So, anyway, he admitted to everything that he did and an ex officio request was received in May 2006.
The reason why it wasn't dealt with earlier apart from these proceedings, the other proceedings, was because there was some difficulty - misunderstanding in relation to the certificate of readiness not being filed with the Court, and it's been rather fortuitous, in any event, because it's able to be dealt with now.
My submission in relation to this particular offence is the same that I make in relation to children of that age, of similar or the same age of that age, is to quote - well, they're very naughty for doing what they're doing but it's really - in this case, it was a form of childish experimentation, rather than one child being prevailed upon by another, although - as I said, although she was very young, she knew what was going on and she had agreed to meet the children at this particular place and it was all by arrangement, so - for that purpose.
I'd ask your Honour to take that into account and if this was standing alone, the Crown would not be asking anymore than for some form of supervisory order, form of probation, or some order of that - similar order to that, your Honour.
HER HONOUR: Yes....
Hey, that's a lot less than the rest of us need when we read your rubbish.Originally posted by lionnoisy:u probably need drink few cups of ice water while u read all these rubbish.

1.I agree.Originally posted by fymk:Actually we can look at it this way , such a big mistake became big news openly and the tirades against the judge has been very loud.
It is good because at least there are things in the system that need to be fixed and the media does not have to worry about political backlashes when shelling out the news to everyone .
Welcome to Freedom and Democracy. Hey it is not perfect but I think they are working to improve the system.
