The people who think that 'he's done his time, let him be' etc are forgetting that he's just been let off fresh charges (without knowing if guilty or not) by a sensless judge who feared that he would not get a fair trial.

If he fiddled with my kids, there would be no question of what to do with him. He would be dead.

Ferguson served 14 years gaol for raping three children. During incarceration, he failed to seek rehabilitation or admit to his crimes. On release he was again jailed for failing to tell police he had taken a job which may have given him access to children. In the same year, he was charged yet again, for allegedly molesting a five year old girl.

Most young people who are victims of sexual abuse suffer enormously. Psychiatric conditions plague many and suicides have occurred. I have known several victims and many paedophiles who have duped entire communities with their “good works.” My oldest school chum's son is a paedophile and has gained custody of his 8 year old son. Enough said!

These fiends are recidivist offenders. There is no treatment for them and they are notorious for their inability to practise restraint. They can operate for an entire life-time without detection. There are huge global paedophilia networks - millions of the creeps and these people live in hope that one day paedophilia will be legalized.

NSW police referred 400 charges against 130 offenders in less than a year.

"I think this is just the tip of the iceberg," Police Commissioner Moroney said. You’re darn right there, Moroney.

So whilst many seek "civil" liberties for Mr Ferguson, spare a thought for the three, four, five year old children who have become a reality in the fantasies of these monsters - children who are coerced into carrying out the most perverted, sexual biddings of paedophiles. Perhaps we should also spare a thought for the 9 month old baby who was raped last year in WA.

I'm all for castrating recidivist paedophiles. One is welcome to call me "primitive" or accuse me of "resorting to a paedophile's level." I am unperturbed. Treatments or deterrents to date have been an unmitigated disaster and one has merely seen a massive international expansion of untouchable, paedophile rings. Members are often teachers, lawyers, judges, policemen etc, most very aware on how to avoid exposure whilst operating under a mask of respectability.

If castration doesn’t work, tough! Institutionalise them without parole!

I've got zero sympathy for him Bronie!. He's done his time, but everyone in the know is saying he's not rehabilitated.

As an after-thought. HAS he actually done his time?. Didn't he get released BECAUSE the judge (who lives on the other side of the city) decided he wouldn't get a fair trial?.

Well, I'm glad you've got that off your chest! Not sure how it helps the debate though."

It didn't. It would've been dead an buried but you resurrected it like some champion of rhetoric CPR.

well what should be done

What a joke

We have people supporting the ALP and Unions and they are in the same league.

He can join labor and become a union member

We have Heiner and the forgotton australians.

The hiding and abuses that have been contrived but i dont see anyone here standing up and kicking them out of town.

The media's love of celebrity and notoriety, because it sells so very, very well, has nothing to do with 'informing the public'. And the mindless public laps it up. Acting like brainless sheep whipped up in a frenzy.

I'm not sure what I find more disgusting. A pedophile incapable of admitting to what he does as being evil, or a media hiding behind 'the right for the public to know' creating a celebrity for them to use as news ad nauseam, over and over and over. It is THE reason why Ferguson is not before a court and possibly behind bars again.

The subsequent vigilante behaviour is revolting. Nothing like extreme self righteousness to hide your own sins.

Besides all that, I've never been able to understand why pedophilia is seen as a crime for which you can do your time. It is obviously a major mental abberation and needs to be treated as such. I doubt that there is a 'cure'. Ongoing medical treatment, followed up at least monthly, must be mandatory for the rest of this person's life.

A person's sexual orientation doesn't change, just because society says it is wrong.

Well they often talk about 'karma' and I think this is very much a case of just that.

Thanks to the protesters that made such a fuss out of him residing in a 'remote location', we are now faced with the prospect that he may never be locked up again because they have simply added fuel to the fire with regards to the judges decision. If he was incapable of receiving a fair trial before, he sure as hell can't get one now!

Take a bow you fools, collectively you may well have given this guy a 'free ticket' to re-offend again and again without fear of ever having to face imprisonment again.

Furthermore, your very actions may well have set a precidence for which many other criminals can use as a 'get out of gaol free card'.

Perhaps this is a classic case of the old saying that one should enguage the brain before puting the mouth into gear.
