The sick freak monster that drugged, filmed and raped 11 women over a period of 15 years gets ONLY 20 Years!!!!!
WTF is wrong with our so called justice system? This monster should have gotten life without parole.
There is a hellva lot to be said for the US system wherby Judges are elected to their position, by the general public. If they dont hand out sentences that reflect the general publics outrage and need for protection from and revenge upon the perpetrators of these crimes, then they are out of a job. |

sadly; seems to be ,that if someone is convicted of multilpe crimes-they only actually pay for one.
So they may as well committ multiples; as they wont pay for more then one.
Making the lives of any other victims seem inconsequential.
Criminal justice is an oxymoron in many cases.
Justice should reflect the communities expectations-not only the need to rehabilite the criminal.
Justice these days seems skewed toward the perpetrator and the victim seems to have little rights-they seem to be an unfortunate adjunct to the case being dealt with.
The consideration seems to be to keep as many criminals out of the inadaquate jails we have-that govts are never willing to upgrade or build newer ones, for the burgeoning population and therefore the larger amount of criminals to be housed.
Emphasis is always on the rehabilitation of criminals and their right to return to society.
The rehabilitation of the victims-is rarely considered.
Especailly as you cant rehabilitate someone who has been killed.
And to accuse those; who want justice-that they are about retribution-whats wrong with that??
Many judges seem far removed from the population they are supposed to be protecting .
To argue that putting criminals behind bars-is no deterrent to others committing henious crimes;is irrelevant. It means those who have committed the crime, are then not put in society early-to repeat their offences.As has happend so many times.
To hear a judge say someone has the worst criminal record they have ever seen-and hear how many crimes they have committed in that time; but had they been locked up for a decent time -they would not have committed many of them.Hence less innocent victims
Sentencing should reflect the seriousness of EVERY crime committed-no concurrent sentencing.
Justice for victims also. |

Justice and Retribution are very different things. Justice is the legal system, as imperfect as it may sometimes be. Retribution is a lynch mob. |

Serial rapist John Xydias jailed for 28 years
By Elissa Hunt
June 30, 2009 12:09pm
JOHN Xydias, who filmed himself as he sexually assaulted 11 unconscious women over a 15-year period, has been jailed.
Xydias videotaped his crimes after drugging his victims.
The Herald Sun reports one of his victims wept in the Supreme Court today as he was sentenced to 28 years in jail, and ordered to serve a minimum of 20 by Chief Justice Marilyn Warren.
His former girlfriend, known only as "Josie", sat behind him in court clutching a gold cross, crying and apearing shocked as details of his offences were read to the court.
A tip-off led police to uncover 17 tapes Xydias had made of his demeaning attacks at his family's Glen Iris home and Dromana holiday house.
He pleaded guilty last year to 66 charges of rape and indecent assault between 1991 and 2006.
Seven victims were known to him when they were assaulted, with four victims captured on film yet to be identified.
Justice Warren said Xydias's crimes were in the worst category and that filming the victims "degraded and dehumanised" them.
She said Xydias presented as inoffensive and humble but underneath was sinister and depraved.
She said he'd shown little remorse for his crimes and still maintained that his victims had consented to the sexual acts.
He still denies drugging his victims but Justice Warren found that the women had been rendered unconscious.

John Xydias says rape victims 'rotten eggs'
Katie Bice
July 30, 2008 12:05pm
A SERIAL rapist who filmed himself assaulting unconscious women described his victims as "rotten eggs", a court has heard.
John Xydias, 44, told a psychiatrist he had got mixed up in a crowd of people who abused alcohol and drugs.
"Got mixed up with the wrong girls, they are rotten eggs," he said.
Xydias, of Glen Iris, has pleaded guilty to 25 counts of rape and 61 of indecent assault between 1991 and 2006.
The Supreme Court heard police found 17 tapes of Xydias's sex attacks on women along with a camera, tripod and women's underwear when they searched his home early last year.
The victims were unaware they had been attacked until asked to identify themselves on the footage. The identity of four victims remains unknown.
Dr Daniel Sullivan said when he assessed Xydias he found him to have limited social skills and a significant interest in pornography but no diagnosable sexual syndrome.
Dr Sullivan agreed Xydias had targeted vulnerable women and had minimised and distorted the nature of his offending.
Defence lawyer Remy van de Wiel, QC, urged the judge not to deliver his client a crushing sentence.
"The full force of the law should not be untempered," he said.
Mr van de Wiel said Xydias's crimes were opportunistic and "no where near" the worst example of the crime.
But prosecutor Michele Williams, SC, said Xydias's deviant behaviour was such that it created a new category for the offence.
She said Xydias should be used as an example to deter others in an age where people have more access to video equipment and camera phones.
"The prisoner is a person who targeted vulnerable victims and he still shows no empathy to them or for them," she said.
Chief Justice Marilyn Warren will sentence Xydias on a date to be fixed.

And we have ANOTHER.....
Priest's son jailed for 15 years for rapes
Adrian Lowe
July 3, 2009 - 1:38PM
The son of a former Radio 3AW priest has been jailed for 15 and a half years after raping three women at knifepoint in the 1980s.
Phillip Kenworthy, 44, had avoided detection until a 2006 breakthrough when records of many thousands of unidentified prints from serious sex crimes were fed into a national computer system. His fingerprints were found to match other samples.
Kenworthy pleaded guilty in May to 14 charges, including four offences of aggravated rape and five of aggravated indecent assault against the three women.
In sentencing, Judge Geoff Chettle said the offences were "extremely serious".
"You are a serious sexual offender who has committed extremely serious rapes," he said.
"You systematically preyed on women who lived near your home and you subjected them to humiliating and degrading offending."
One victim said "not a day has gone by when I have not thought about it".
Judge Chettle said two of the victims had turned their homes into a "fortress" with various locks and bars on the windows as a result of Kenworthy's attack on them.
Kenworthy, the son of former 3AW on-air cleric Reverend Dr Alex Kenworthy, must serve 12 years of his sentence before being eligible for parole.
He will be a registered sex offender for the rest of his life.
