THE Linear Park sex offender will be re-sentenced by the state's highest court because his 16-year jail term is deemed excessive for a young man.
Ohhh, the poor little dear! What a sad state of affairs. The population of Australia has been dissarmed, armed self defence is illegal and yet if one is a psychotic rapist, and gets caught we dont sentence the poor dear too harshly? We must take into consideration his young age and the fact that he had no criminal history and had a turbulent personal life. He pleaded guilty to offences including indecent assault, rape and home invasion. But lets not be too hard on the poor little dear. I know this much. Had he comitted these crimes in the USA he more than likely have been shot by a victim, and good riddence. In Australia he will probably be resentenced and released in five years only to resume his ways. ""Based on the opinion of two psychologists, Driver is unwilling to control his sexual instincts," he told the court in June.

THE Linear Park sex offender will be re-sentenced by the state's highest court because his 16-year jail term is deemed excessive for a young man.
Aiden Driver, 20, broke into the home of his first victim and raped her while pushing his arm down across her throat.
He then attacked two women in Linear Park, locking one in a bear hug before trying to drag her into the bushes.
Yesterday, the Court of Criminal Appeal said it was "inclined" to overturn Driver's sentence.
The announcement follows the court granting Driver permission to appeal on the grounds the penalty was "manifestly excessive" for a young man who had no criminal history and had a turbulent personal life.
"The court is inclined to allow (Driver's) appeal and re-sentence him," Justice Tom Gray said.
