Interim Name Suppression granted for convicted Paedophile

Interim Name Suppression granted for convicted Paedophile who claims Suppression existed anyway!

The Human Wrongs Commission continues to waste tax payer money this week by continuing their ludicrous claim that the Sensible Sentencing Trust has breached a 5 time convicted Paedophile’s privacy by publishing his name.

The trust is in possession of a court minute that clearly states no final suppression was in force and despite his name being extensively published for years previously.


Spokesperson for the Trust, Garth McVicar states “We will defend our position strenuously – the fact that the Human Rights Commission is acting for a 5 time convicted paedophile is an absolute farce not to mention the immense waste of tax payers money”.

“This serial sex offender has 5 previous convictions and numerous other allegations against him of disgusting and clearly illegal sexual assaults on children.”

“Whose privacy should the commission be more concerned about?”

“The Director of Human Rights Proceedings is recklessly and inexplicably exceeding his authority”. The Privacy Commission’s website states that “although privacy is important, it is not absolute. Other important social interests can be more important than privacy in particular circumstances. All privacy laws make allowances for other social interests such as preventing crime and ensuring safety “

We rest our case!

Funded solely by public donations the Trust will need significant funds to help fight this battle for the greater good. If you are in a position to assist at whatever level please make a donation to help with our costs:
Donations can be made at any branch of the ASB.
