Queensland, Australia, Attorney-General urges appeals against child abuse, cabbie bashing sentences
The Queensland A-G has instructed the Director of Public Prosecutions to appeal against three sentences that were handed down this month on the Sunshine Coast and in Hervey Bay.
A child sex offender was convicted of eight serious offences involving the abuse of an eight-year-old child on the Sunshine Coast.
He was sentenced to three years in jail to be released after serving nine months in custody. You've got to be kidding. That's not much more than a smoke-break for this predator. I hope this sentence appeal embarrasses the judge that handed it down to the point where he/she takes child sexual abuse much more seriously.
The other sentences to be appealed against are for Nathan Levy and Steve Drobny, who were convicted of violent offences relating to an assault on a taxi driver in Hervey Bay, which left the victim with permanent injuries.
Levy was sentenced to 30 months in jail but was released immediately on parole.
Drobny was placed on a 150-hour community service order.
Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie says the sentences are manifestly inadequate. Good for you, AG.
