Community worried after sex offender who tried to molest 8-year-old cousin in a 'drunk and horny' state gets released
A convicted sex offender who is considered a genuine danger to the community after he tried to rape an eight-year-old child has just been released from prison
The 23-year-old man, who hails from Cairns and cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to a number of charges including attempted rape and deprivation of liberty, and subsequently spent three-and-a-half years in jail. At the time of the offense, the eight-year-old girl, who was the man's cousin, was staying at his residence in Cape York.
The man, who claimed to be "drunk and horny" at the time, took the young female into a bedroom and locked the door after having "stupid thoughts", stated a Daily Mail report.
